I've had no regrets.
Alas, however, that expensive AMG rocket keeps getting further and further out of reach.
Oh well....my life is well balanced and my kids don't hate me!

The greatest legacy any parent can bequeath to their children is not only unconditional love but the equally important idea that the HOME is for pleasure and enjoyment and one does not spend valuable family hours with martini in hand railing against one's employers and bringing home the burden of one's work and it's attendant disappointments.
The most difficult thing to achieve is this clean distinction between homelife and the pressures of employment,some do it very well,humans are,if nothing else,easily adaptable to circumstance.
