Whats important for mid 30 family man

[FrustratedVuncle]

At 35, with a wife and two young kids, your priorities should focus on family well-being, financial stability, health, and personal growth. Here’s a breakdown:

1. Family & Relationships

• Spend quality time with your wife and kids—childhood goes by fast.
• Strengthen your marriage through communication and shared experiences.
• Teach your kids values, discipline, and emotional intelligence.
• Plan for family experiences like vacations, outdoor activities, and bonding time.

2. Financial Stability & Security

• Income & Career Growth: Ensure steady career progression or business stability.
• Emergency Fund: Have 6–12 months of living expenses saved.
• Life Insurance: Secure adequate coverage for your family's future.
• Health Insurance: Ensure comprehensive coverage for the family.
• Retirement Planning: Max out contributions to 401(k)/IRA or other retirement plans.
• Kids' Education: Start a 529 plan or similar investment for college funds.
• Debt Management: Pay off high-interest debts and avoid unnecessary loans.

3. Health & Well-being

• Maintain a healthy lifestyle (exercise, diet, sleep).
• Get regular health checkups for yourself and family.
• Manage stress effectively—balance work, family, and personal time.
• Foster mental well-being (mindfulness, hobbies, social interactions).

4. Home & Stability

• Ensure a safe, comfortable home for the family.
• If renting, consider homeownership if it aligns with your financial plan.
• Childproof your home for safety, especially with a toddler.

5. Personal Growth & Fulfillment

• Keep learning—career skills, parenting, and financial literacy.
• Pursue personal hobbies and maintain friendships.
• Be a role model—show your kids values like discipline, kindness, and hard work.
• Plan for the future with long-term goals (career, investments, personal aspirations).

Perfect list.

An important thing to consider for better mental health is not being pressured by external factors - Relatives, Neighbors and others.

My suggestion for bettering with 1, is not to plan all your events around other families.

I have a checklist that I follow -
Children's museum 1x every quarter
State/Nat'l parks 1x per quarter
Long drive 2x~3x per year
Beach 3x per year
Zoo 1x~2x per year

Other seasonal things are bonus
