What is Super Dad?
Learn MoreWhat's the most rewarding part about being a dad?
Knowing that I am doing the best I can at setting them up to be the best versions of themselves by being an example. Whether it is helping a person in need at the gas station with jumping their car and expecting nothing in return, or what a healthy relationship looks like between partners.
Why do you strive to be the best dad you can be?
Because I am the only Dad they are going to have. I want to build a relationship that is going to last. Because in 5-10-20 years, they are going to grow and develop, and there may come a point where they no longer need their Dad, but want their Dad. Knowing that some day one of them will have their own car, house, or family. One day they need help or advice and I want them to think, I need to call my Dad, he'll know what to do. I may YouTube the answer, but I will come when they call.
How would you use the $25,000?
We've been planning a trip to Disney™️, and maybe a second honeymoon for my wife and I since or last one got cancelled because the world shut down for a bit. But I have a handy bit of programming to help with the spending breakdown! # Obligatory Dad's Spending Spree $25k # b = {"honey_moon": 8000, "disney_plane": 4000, "disney_food": 6000, "disney_tickets": 7000} for k, v in b.items(): print(f"{k}: ${v} (it was A GOOD DEAL)") print("Left: $0. Regrets: 0. Core Memories = Created.")
