    I quit my fairly lucrative job to care for my father for a year when he was dying of cancer.  I was the only person who stayed with him 24/7 for that whole year and I do not regret one minute of it.  I may never get another job in my field like that one but it doesn't matter.  I was there when he died, like he was there when I was born and that, to me, is the best thing I have ever done.

    I seem to be quite emotional today but this brought tears to my eyes.

    Me too.  How incredibly inspiring.

    Waiting 8 years after being married  to have children. I love my daughter dearly, but I could not have been the mother I want to be if I had her when I was so young. I loved all the time dh and I had as a couple to travel, save, enjoy life and just be us.

    Not to mention that we are now established and not having to worry about money and having more freedom with our work makes life with a child so much easier.

    Props to the "waiters"!

    Cheers indeed!  I LOVED being "selfish" in my 20's and think I am a much better parent b/c of it.  I wouldn't trade those years for anything.

    Taking a chance and quitting a stable job when I wasn't happy. It paid well, had good benefits, but I just wasn't challenged. I quit  (with the support of DH...who was my bf at the time) without having another job lined up.

    Within a couple of weeks, I found the job I have now (when I'm not home with DS).I LOVE IT; it's the job I've wanted for years!

    So...I don't regret going out on a limb and taking a chance and risking not having an income.

    Spent my jr year studying abroad in Scotland. It cost $15k in student loans, but it was my only time away from my crazy family and living on campus with other students during my college years, best thing I ever did.
