Attitudes & Priorities

So this week we talked about priorities and responded to a couple of mini case studies where we were asked to share how we would best handle it.  Each case study set the family against a career choice.  While I qualified my answers somewhat I believe that we should always put our family's needs first.  However I did qualify one scenario with the family also needing to understand and accommodate the work needs too.  We need to keep our family in the forefront of our mind when making large decisions but sometimes our job just requires us to place its needs first to endure we have a job tomorrow.  The other aspect we looked into was our attitude towards money.  I have never had a strong need for a lot of money.  I prefer memories to things and the thought of cleaning a large home has me dreaming of a small 500 square foot shack.  I like less because then I have more time for memories.  I am not sure if this attitude truly effects the way I live since I don't have a lot of money to begin with but I don't miss not having a lot of stuff so I guess it does.  I am not sure if this will lend to my prosperity but then if I view relationships and experiences as valuable then it means I am more prosperous the more I do, I guess.
