Your old boat sold at 30
You new boat bought at 50
Almost agree... A man has to give up his life for the kids. Slight difference. A marriage can be fine and you can keep the boat and toys and you and the wife hit the town at night and run off for the weekend to the beach and she's your partner, lover and drinking buddy. But, when the kids arrive, she becomes your wife and you become her husband and she is the mother and you are the father. Now, the toys are sold in favor of college funds and baby room furniture, school supplies, etc...
But, there is good news... The kids grow up (take plenty of pictures because it goes by fast) and will soon be moving out and the weekend runs to the beach will start anew. AAAAND (if your lucky).... Just between me, you and the lamp post.....the wife still harbors a little guilt about you selling your boat years ago...
