> They are counting on you...

More often than not, they're counting on a risk-taker to try and bring financial stability to the household, as well. If you are spending so much time away from your family that it's wrecking your family, there's a problem. But there are plenty of ineffectual workaholics that do the same thing for some overlord's profit.

If you're going to sacrifice something as valuable as time with your family, it better be for a good reason. Chalk up another benefit for making these choices concrete.
