I'm finding very little of this thread resonates with me. I have a toddler who I love and get to spend a whole day off with during the week. I still get to do my running, cycling, rock climbing. I get some reading done most nights.

I've mostly sacrificed video games and social life, but rock climbing is social and a happy child is far more rewarding than games.

There are sacrifices, but I don't feel like I've given up my life. Is this because I don't live in the USA?

Do you work more than 12 hours to make a basic income? I think that'd be a large difference between wherever you are and the US.
