Investing in Your Children's Education
Investing in your children's education is crucial and should be seen as a worthwhile investment rather than an expense. Just like Marcus Aurelius's great-grandfather advised him to hire good private teachers and bear the resulting costs, you can invest in your children's education in various ways, such as hiring tutors, enrolling them in music lessons, visiting museums, choosing a better school despite the commute, opting for private tuition, or even homeschooling. While these investments may be expensive, they contribute to your children's knowledge and education, ultimately making them better individuals.
The Importance of Fatherhood
The Daily Dad Podcast aims to provide daily meditations inspired by ancient wisdom, psychological research, and real-life experiences of ordinary fathers. By listening to these meditations and incorporating the lessons learned, fathers can fulfill their most important job of being great dads. The podcast recognizes that being a father is a challenging role that requires continuous learning and improvement. Through the insights shared in the podcast, fathers can gain valuable strategies and wisdom to enhance their fatherhood journey and become effective and loving parents.
"You work hard for your family. You know how you sweated for each dollar, which can make it hard to spend. Especially if you have an eye toward investing—every dollar expended now comes at the cost of returns in the future.
That’s one way to think about it, but it’s not the only way."
