The money conversation nobody wants to have

My spending habits completely changed. Used to drop money on concerts and gadgets and random stuff without thinking. Now every dollar is accounted for or going to the kids. Don't get me wrong, I'm not resentful about it, but I do think about what that money could've been instead. Anybody else have to do a total financial reset after becoming a parent?

That's not a rant though, that's actually really healthy. Sounds like you got your priorities straight now.

Honest question though, do you miss the spontaneous stuff or are you genuinely happier with the structured approach?

Do you still budget for anything fun for yourself or is it all locked down now?

This is the real dad transformation right here. Not judging, just respect. Takes work to change those habits.

Your kids are going to appreciate that mindset eventually. Either that or they'll understand why you made the choices you did.
