I applaud this decision. It is very easy to get sucked into "Well, I need to do this so I can support my family, etc." which is by no means a bad idea. After all, every loving parent/spouse wants their family to be stable and well provided for. At some point - after your work has paid off and you find yourself in a relatively stable place - it is worth asking that question. Success [in terms of finances, accomplishments, etc.] means nothing if you have no one to share it with[1]. I'm glad you made the difficult decision to invest in the people you love and care about. Kudos. [1] By that, I'm not saying we should overlook the impact one's 'success' [ a loosely defined term] has on others. It is always hard to decide between solving a problem - especially one which you are passionate about - and investing in the people you love.
