Excellent post! Even if you have a family, hell, ESPECIALLY if you have a family, you should appreciate time more than anything else in this world! because children grow up and move out etc etc, time comes and goes and we cannot stop it or even slow it down. I wrote a blog recently about quitting my career and how I gained 'time' rather than a salary, and I feel more enriched because of it! Here is the post if you fancy a read :) https://steemit.com/life/@beautifulbullies/quitting-a-career-to-become-a-housewife-old-fashioned-or-realistic
We should all stop worrying about what other people say we should do, and start looking at our time as the most valuable thing we own and use it to make ourselves and the people that matter, happy :)
