The decline of the family has unleashed an epidemic of loneliness
I have been lucky enough to be able to work and live in several countries around the world. One thing in common I noticed in all these places is that guys and girls don&#x27;t have time and don&#x27;t want to commit to a stable long relation. They invest pretty much themselves and their time in their career, traveling , parties, dogs, cats and bitcoins :) !<p>The mantra is to get rich and retire at 40 years old! Travel the world and have fun.<p>By the time they are somewhat satisfied with theirs status they have reached ~35 years old. At that point is more difficult to find a person and accept to share your life and habits with them.<p>They are so used to live their own lives that they have extremely hard time compromising any part of it.<p>I think the society has (wrongly) evolved towards an individualist model at the expenses of families.<p>I have noticed that people have been more and more intolerant to family flying with kids. It is hard to find kids friendly restaurants, hotels and resorts. 
People invite you to parties and kids are always not welcome. Not to mention also the additional cost associated with having a family.<p>But you know what ? I am so happy every day when I come home and my kids run towards me and we play and have fun. I and my wife coudln&#x27;t be happier!<p>A piece of advice, stop running, take time off and think about your life beyond work and money. Traveling is fun but is way more fun and interesting when you can share it with some one you care about, like your family!
