this an amazing article and hits home! I had my fist son at 18 in 1995 he is in college now and I just had my second son in 2013! Everything you touched on really resonates with me.

As a solo, Self-employed new mom I totally appreciate your thoughts and this well-written post! Definitely a good little read at a time when I find myself contemplating the 9–5 life after nearly a decade. Persevere a little longer I shall!

What a terrific post. I really like the way that you’ve made very tangible and real the differences and advantages of the middle class verus the lower class. That’s really hard to explain to a lot of people. I also hope that as a society we start doing better for kids. With 40%+ of kids now being raised by single mothers, they need more assistance than ever.
