Men over 30, what is the hardest part of balancing a work / home life? (dormi.zone)

Would it be making the time for vacations or gatherings? Or if your job requires overtime, you lose out on the time with your family. Do you ever speak up about it or just let things even out?

Mmm. The hardest part for me right now is that choosing to spend more time at home with my family had caused my income to stagnate or even dip, which means I have to spend more time on paperwork: Budgeting, bargain-hunting, all the little tedia of saving money. Before I could just work more and earn more money, which was more enjoyable but kept me out of the house.

I still think it's worth it but I don't enjoy the paperwork.
