"I’m well aware that your kids, especially when they’re very young, **probably don’t value these experiences when they’re having them**. If I were to ask my older daughter how much she values my going to one of her games, she might not even know what I was talking about. **But these shared experiences clearly have a value**, especially in retrospect. Remember: **The purpose of money is to have experiences, and one of those experiences for your kids is time with you**."
