My question of the week: For people in the boring middle, what are you doing, if anything, to make life better now? Doesn’t have to be financial.

I invest a lot of time into improving at my hobby sport. This gives me goals outside of just financial/career goals. It also is fantastic stress relief for when work is getting me down.

I also try to travel somewhere new at least once/twice a year. My company has fairly generous leave, so I can take advantage of getting to fulfill my travel dreams without impacting the time we spend with the in-laws around the holidays.

We recently hired a cleaner to come in twice a month which has been a big help, especially now with two very young kids.

Totally considering doing this. Any recommendations on finding a good one?

My wife got a recommendation from a local, online mom’s group.
