    This call got right to the core of me. I got into a financial crisis some time back. I started working 80 hour work weeks and now I dont know how to turn it off. I love the money and the independence it signifies for my family. Being a man isnt easy. You try to sacrifice for your family and sometimes you sacrifice yourself.

    Everyone sacrifices. Nothing to do with being a man. Your family is suffering more than you I can guarantee that. I hope you find a way because time is infinitely more valuable than money.

    I know too many married people with 2-5 kids debt free and living within means home schooling, traveling, camping, hiking, etc. with their kids. Even the home is close to being paid off or already paid for. Husband works 3-4 days a week and/or taking off work without pay with healthy emergency fund. Been watching these people doing this for up to 30 years as there kids grow. One of these kids is my primary care physician. The thing all of these people had in common was kids being priority. They also never watched or or even heard of Dave Ramsey.

    I can relate to this guy, my fiance is hesitant to go gazelle intense to pay off debt because she thinks it'd waste our best years. It takes a lot to explain to her that 30 year old her will thank her for sticking through it. I'm bringing about 70k in student loans and the goal is to pay that off within 2-3 years or less if we make a great household income. Context: She hates the idea of working 80 hrs because her parents did the same when she was a kid (and still do because they're workaholics) and she doesn't want to wish that onto our future kids. Basically, she doesn't wanna feel like a single mom and she doesn't want to miss the baby years when we have kids because we have debt

    It's a tricky balance, isn't it? I grew up in a home where my Dad was working away a LOT or was always working from dawn til' dusk and I know my Mother felt like a single parent. This wasn't a short-term thing, this was the majority of my childhood and I remember playing house and dolls as a Single-parent family. Short term, this is sustainable but long-term is terminal for the relationships involved. I didn't have a relationship with my Dad until my Mum died when I was 28. All relationships are different, too. Some partners really rely on and draw strength from their spouse and some, like my Mum was, are more independent. I couldn't be parted from my Husband like my Mother was from my Father xx
