Good article; thanks for sharing!
I am a former teacher who accumulated a bunch of real estate, retired at 29, spent some time traveling the world full time and am now settled with three kids.
If you want to know more about me, this Business Insider profile tells the story pretty well.
I (rarely) blog at AdventuringAlong.com. Check out the Now page to see what I'm up to currently.

Great article.   Really excited because my wife is due to have our first born May 1st!

One of our friends has already suggested we hire a photographer for the bid day,  cost = £1,000.  No thanks!

Wow - how stupid.

I used my iPhone to capture my daughter's first real cry and brought our camera to capture a couple quick snaps. But honestly I was more excited to just hold her and see for the first time. The nurses were more than happy to snap some pictures as well. I guess I owe them $1000 tips. :-p

My wife gave birth a few months back in December.  It was a long, difficult birth.  Hard to imagine something worse than a professional photographer clicking shots over a pile of blood, semi-comatose mom, and me after that forty hour ordeal . . . but paying them a grand to take shots?  That might put the moment right over the top.

 

Wow, a phone plan for fifteen bucks!
