Don't Let Your Kids Grow Up To Be

   Cube Dwellers.

   I hate the cycle - you grow up learning, from observing your parents, that you want to be different; you want to chart a new course for your life instead of merely going to college, getting a stable job, getting married, having kids..and...turning into your parents.

   Though I hope, as I'm sure my parents and your parents did, that my kids will not aim to be everything I'm not, my message to my kids during their formative years, will be different.

   I am going to wholeheartedly encourage them to pursue their passions. They will be advised by me to NOT take a "safe job" (as if those exist anymore, anyway), but to take an exciting one. It is a lot easier to live with no money and do something you are invigorated by than to chase the (formerly) almighty dollar and then get so accustomed to a lifestyle that you are forced to stay in something that bores you to tears just to continue to make X dollars a year.

   I am going to implore my kids to pursue their interests and not worry about money when they are first getting started..
