He spends a fair amount of time with his family, his life is pretty perfect. He has a house, work isn't stressful, spends time with his family, get's to hang out with my dumbass on a regular basis, and he drives a tesla..

When we were dating my wife would sometimes tell me that I should be more frugal (like her) and I said to her, half jokingly, that my parents didn't come to this country and leave their families behind so that I could also have to work long hard hours and penny pinch my way to a decent life. They worked super hard so I wouldn't have to and it's their dream to see their kids have high paid desk jobs and get bad backs not from physical labour but from being lazy.
My parents (and my in-laws) don't outwardly express it much (cause that's not what Asian parents do) but I'm living the dream they had for their kids (except I didn't become a doctor, lawyer, or engineer).
