I've started to truly understand the phrase, "youth is wasted on the young." I had the health and energy to do everything I wanted, but not the money. Now that I have the money, my personal limitations become the real problem.
… which is why I’ve become opposed to the notion of ‘spoiling your kid’ by giving them the things they want. There are only so many years you can buy true happiness for as cheap as a cone of ice cream. Why not do it while it’s possible?
This is why I introduced my kids to scuba diving as soon as they could get certified. It's an expensive hobby but you can combine it with family vacations. Most vacation places near water have dive shops and will rent you whatever equipment you need
Yeah we lose things. Just got to accept it.
