They may feel good about purchase but have to cut corners on other fronts.

They are left with little money to enjoy the small pleasures of life.

Now this reduction in savings should not impact me in the long run if I consider everything will be fine in my Job and economy for the next 20 years, but being in IT I am not so certain about it.
This really puts me in a dilema whether to go for what I want or Delay the satisfaction by a few years and wait till I feel safer.

I truly believe in balanced life approach and striving to implement it consciously. I am freelance consultant (CEO of single employee firm) who could afford self retirement at age 40. Several of the organizations that I work with offers me quite senior positions at global levels with good pay. I will take none of it and could maintain the life motto as love your work rather than love your job. Never missed a vacation in last 5 years and this year trip to Disney, Orlando was indeed refreshing.

But balancing family (time and money spent on them) and work (earning money) is one of the most difficult things to do. Not sure if any one has even come close to mastering it!

When my kids were born a visitor friend told me to watch for the next 3-4 years. The joy that we would be getting from them will not be matched by any amount of money.

I don’t have an evening practice and earn less compared to the potential earning at my level but never felt that I am missing anything.

This is a complete U turn from your side. I think this idea is being put forward by you for the first time.
