True

[Jack Elmore @jack_elmore]

For a true alcoholic, to drink is to die. It's a progressive disease even during prolonged periods of abstinence. It affects almost every family in some way or another. As @davepl1968 highlights, there's plenty of help available. Some can enjoy a drink like their fellows, some can't. It's not their fault, they seem to have been born that way.

@BobFergusonGov High income earners that can do math will leave. Then who is left to fill the budget gaps?

[Kevin | Large Fam Dad @LargeFamDad]

My boss's boss is like 42, never married, no kids. Earns $275-300K per year. Goes on a minimum of two international vacations a year w/ his girlfriend. 10+ days, all out.

Eats the best food, stays in top notch accomodations. Excursions, tours, nicest beaches, etc.

Great guy, I'm happy for him.

But what I've realized is that without kids, you end up chasing a lifestyle that has to continually be topped in order for you to be satisfied and find happiness.

What he and others like him don't understand is that when you have children, seeing THEM experience life's most basic things and watching their eyes light up at all the "firsts", brings greater pleasure and joy than any vacation or travel experience ever could.

Seeing THEM try blueberries for the first time is greater than dining at the best 5 star restaurant in Europe.

Seeing THEM learn how to walk is greater than walking the Great Wall of China or strolling along the most picturesque beach.

Watching THEM giggle uncontrollably at "peek-a-boo" tops any A-list comedian act.

Seeing THEIR excitement when building a fort out of cardboard boxes and making a door big enough for daddy is superior to staying at 5-star resorts.

Flying kites with THEM far outweighs excursions like parasailing or helicopter rides.

Seeing THEM perform a recital on stage for the first time is more rewarding than watching a Broadway show or top notch symphony orchestra.

-----------------

When you have children, all of a sudden you realize that life's greatest joys are not in the pursuit of things or pleasure or travel, but rather in the LOVE and bond you share with your very own image bearers.

Seeing the beauty and magnificence and wonder of life all over again for the first time through THEIR eyes and expressions gives you something the world simply cannot offer, nor even come close.

@future42org Great job Hannah! Agree with you on all points!

[Jack Elmore @jack_elmore]

@PoliceLoveland @elonmusk Excellent!

[Jack Elmore @jack_elmore]

Agree. If @elonmusk were about money, why wouldn’t the richest person on the planet just buy congress for his own pork projects? From a purely economic point of view his money could be multiplied more by being “part of the swamp” than what he is ACTUALLY doing, which creates a sustainable future for many more than himself. I’m inspired by what has occurred in our country seemingly so quickly in recent months and optimistic he will succeed to the benefit of many.

@TRUMP_ARMY_ Enjoy jail! Especially since he planned for it. Big talk…nothing more.

@shanselman Great keynote @shanselman. In fact it inspired me to litter my Demopalooza content to include RPSLS and a few other fun references. Cheers Scott!
