This as-told-to essay is based on a conversation with Paul Ollinger, author of "Reasonably Happy: The Skeptics Guide to Achievable Contentment."
When I was around 11, my dad was taking me to get my first cavity filled.
My son asked if we were hiring a private chefThat means my kids are growing up in a very different financial reality.
I want my kids to learn to prioritize financial decisionsOne book that's helped me greatly is "The Opposite of Spoiled" by Ron Lieber.
I value professional flexibility more than the status of flying private or the joys of getting to skip TSA, so I prioritize that.
