Asking permission....
A little story time about how grateful I am that I focused on financial literacy and built a retirement plan.
I took my daughter to the Dentist this afternoon. As I'm waiting for her to come out, a dad and his son are checking out and he asked for a Doctor's note. She starts writing the note out, and the dad says "I need that for my work". He was asking for a note for his employer to excuse him from taking his son to the dentist.
Now, I don't belittle anyone that works hard to provide for their family, and he may have a great job that pays well. But the idea that he had to get proof of what he was doing, is not a life that I would be happy living.
For those that are in that type of situation... Let me tell you that there are employers that trust their employees, and allow you to take time to take care of your family without needing proof. Employers can do this because we accept it, and we don't have to.
