As someone who is some of those things as well, I would love to know what the wife and/or child are doing during all those activities. Because something has to give when you’re doing that much.

In my experience, that balance is really hard, and even in the most hospitable, high-quality-of-life places, that balance is not exactly always something that is nurtured and valued by the systems in place.

Can we see them?

Money is not overly abundant currently. Today we got a notice in the mail from our landlords that our rent is being lowered by 20 bucks a month (yes, you read that right, lowered) and we have been overpaying on our utilities so we’re getting some money back which, incidentally, can then go directly to our upcoming electricity payment haha.

That felt like things working out nicely out of the blue.

That is AMAZING! Keep it up. I also lost almost 30kg a few years ago, and managed to stay in shape. I feel so much better since.

Congratulations!
