Re: what’s our ultimate goal in life?
There is a difference of priorities. When you have a child their goals and ambitions are what that matter. Then your job is not career advancement it is to get paid well so that your kids can go to a good school. Travel is just not vacation for you, but to ensure you choose a place your kids enjoy. So yes when you are married and your have kids your priorities do indeed change and yes in some ways their goals cease to be important.
