What's Your Rich Life?
For the past five years, I’ve had the privilege of coaching both of my sons’ baseball teams. That means double the practices, double the games, and double the joy. I drop them off at school. I pick them up. I’m at every school event, on the sidelines, in the dugout, and at bedtime.
To me, this is what a rich life looks like.
Not the car in the garage or the size of the house, but owning my time so I can spend it with the people I love most.
When I was growing up, my parents were divorced. Both worked constantly just to survive. My dad lived in the same city, but I only saw him once a week. No one had the bandwidth to coach my teams or be present like they wanted to be.
That reality shaped me. It also gave me a mission: to build a life where I can be there for my kids.
That’s the real reason I care about wealth.
Not for the things, but for the freedom.
Not for the image, but for the presence.
If I had to choose between a luxury lifestyle or being in the stands every weekend, I’ll choose time every time.
What's your rich life? I'd love to hear about it!

6moLove this, Dr. Brad
Behind every financial win is a powerful conversation! I will give you the tools to get there. Passion to help people set, meet, and exceed goals personally, financially, and professionally.
6moMine is very much the same. My kids never went to daycare. I worked my schedule around their needs. Now I’m here supporting grandkids. I saved 50 to 75% of our income so that I could retire young. I always had the smallest house of all my friends. I was able to pay cash for them. That frees up a lot of money to help pay for college for kids as well.

6moGreat post! Presence over presents. Time invested over time spent, in the company of those whom you value. It seems the real things that matter in life, are not things at all….
