My parents did pretty well at money, mostly, although they tend to nag, which is the most sure way of ensuring that it takes forever for me/Kid to do whatever it is they're nagging us to do. (Her husband actually listens to our parents regarding money, which is good for my sister but probably enables my parents' nagging habits.)
Ah, I see.
Eh, I think you can be involved with parenting, involved with taking care of yourself, or involved with career stuff, and anything you do on one axis is likely to be done at the expense of another axis. So, yeah, if you're my dad and have nothing to do but get exercise and sleep, then sure. (He is widely regarded to be the most in shape in our entire extended family. Including the cousins in their 20's. :) But he also does nothing these days except that!)
