When we become parents for the first time, something switches in our brains. For the longest time, we were only concerned with our well-being or our spouse’s well-being. Now there is a new human in your life. Something to take care of, to support and love. 

So how do we continue to be successful in our growing careers and raise our children with the love they deserve over their most impressionable years?

Big questions like this are always better with really smart friends so I thought I’d answer this one with Certified Financial Planner Eric Roberge.

Carpe Diem Quote:

“Work will always be work. Some people work doing what they love. Other people work so that they can do what they love when they’re not working. Neither is more noble.“
