Ah....the joys and perils of being a parent. Seems like I am always going oft-topic, but do you feel you are more reflective now that you are a parent? I know you have been through quite a bit since Smallsteps was born, so there might be more factors in play.

I personally have always planned for the future, not detailed plans, but like where I would like to be and how much money I would like to have. But recently, my plans have been more detailed, largely revolving around my daughter and having enough money for University, money to help her get her first home etc.
