It is a common misconception that high pay equates to lack of family time or time for yourself.

It may be true for jobs where the remuneration are based on volume of the output. Examples are sales job, tradesmen type of work. Taxi drivers are a good example. For them, to earn a higher income they will have to drive more hours.

For professionals, this is not quite true. University professors earn a decent salary ($200k pa) and they don't have to work that many hours as a lowly production operator. Likewise for other skilled and highly qualified professionals.

In fact, the irony is that the lower income typically have to work two to three jobs to support their families leaving very little time for themselves and their loved ones. The truth is that families with high HH incomes have a lot more choices and quality time together. They go out together in their family cars, they go holidays together, they indulge in interesting hobbies together, they eat in restaurants where they can hear each other talk instead of being drowned out by the crowd.

What children grow to be depends on both nature and nurture. Nature is based by your genes. Parents with nasty disposition will likely pass this on to their children, whether they are at home lazing around or working hard to earn big money.

That's all for now. Gotta go.
