Having kids and generally rising US prices for housing, energy, childcare, school and health care certainly make it feel like I need to work. Certainly didn't feel as important before having a family. Kind of ironic as you have to work more to provide for for them materially at a time when your family most needs your presence. I for one would like to see us pay teacher in the US a lot more so they can do something good for the community and their family at the same time.
