What alphas don't get

Downshifting is possible only when you are already up there. Most people can't downshift their lives.

And, by the way, a downshifter should consider that his beautiful downshifted life will bring him closer to these very people.

Какое интересное слово! А я думал, downshift - это с четвертой на третью, чтобы кого-нибудь обогнать со страшным рёвом.

You can also downshift when you win the lottery, or a rich uncles dies and leaves you everything. Yeah, right...

Different values are OK. Idea of relaxing - that's bad.

One should always check the trade-offs though. Cause over-investing into children early may well turn in inability to help them later.

Risk is a nature of this game...
