18 months ago, I almost lost my wife because of a project I joined at the beginning of 2015 to which I dedicated all my time, hoping it starts rising quick (when I joined they were working on it for already 2 years, and it was "a matter of months, one year top, to finish").

Turns out it didn't, and when my wife pronounced the word "divorce", I dropped it all (the tension was anyway rising between me and the team for some months) to save my marriage.

I was lucky enough that it ended well on my personal life. And that's the last time I make this mistake. Wealth is cool, loved ones are what matters (at least for me).

On a side note, they're still struggling to finish their app.
