I learned money actually can buy happiness, but living within your means is key. My time as the sole breadwinner also taught me my family benefits when I take care of myself.
Raising children as the sole breadwinner puts you through the full gamut of emotions... I mostly remember a lot of joy, love, and a deep sense of connection and purpose.
In order to conserve our cash flow, sometimes we had to say 'no' to things that we would've liked to buy. But living simply mostly felt good - it helped me have lower stress levels and deeper connections.
Even though the days could be stressful, my years as a sole breadwinner were some of the best times of my life. All the effort invested in my children and my career was totally worth it.
