Single Household Income Is Financial Independence???
Hmm ...
Uncle8888 has been a single household income since 1995. His net worth and investment income at 1995 was no where near any definition of financial independence. It was based on biting the bullet; taking greater financial risk; tightening of financial belt and trading off some high discretionary expenses to provide a better family care to his three children.
BTW, our children don't wait for us to become financial independence so that we can have more time to spend with them.
Uncle8888 believe many single household income family may base their decision on making sacrifice; taking greater risk and hoping that ill luck doesn't fall on them!
Same like some guys waiting to accumulate and accumulate more money before settling down. But, by the time they have so much money they worry over whether they are marrying woman who is eyeing their money.
