佛周记：Suburban Lives

I'm the president and CEO of a large real estate agency. My work is hectic and demanding, so I experience an extreme amount of stress. Of course, I have no social life because I work so much. I'm also married and the father of five children, three of whom are adopted. We live in a big house, with a tennis court, baseball diamond and three kitchens. Some might say, with my nice family and good income, I've got everything I need. However, it's complicated. Although we don't live from paycheck to paycheck, I have huge expenses. I'm always thinking about the repayments on my home, or keeping my kids in private school. I sometimes think that it was a mistake to buy such a big house, or even have such a big family! However, I feel like I live a pretty good life overall. Yes, I'm happy, and I shouldn't complain.
