haha i love the challenge..
I love this piece, I mean I love all your work. I never get the feeling you are better than anyone, you worked hard your whole life, you played by the rules, and you live a life that you worked hard for. The way you want to live.
Most people want what you have and are scared to admit it. I meet so many people with no savings, 401k, retirement nothing, and they all wish they did.
When i went outside the norm, I got a lot of hate, and I ignored them!! Little do they know, I worked hard followed the rules did the game, then decided to take a curveball! If i had kids I would have chosen differently.
Never apologize. I am glad your daughter is speaking to you.
