#Jewish Adulting Work and Life Priorities
You can't have it all, all at once. Who - man or woman - has it all, all at once? Over my lifespan, I think I have had it all. But in different periods of time, things were rough. And if you have a caring life partner, you help the other person when that person needs it. - Ruth Bader Ginsburg

(ב) שִׁמְעוֹן הַצַּדִּיק הָיָה מִשְּׁיָרֵי כְנֶסֶת הַגְּדוֹלָה. הוּא הָיָה אוֹמֵר, עַל שְׁלשָׁה דְבָרִים הָעוֹלָם עוֹמֵד, עַל הַתּוֹרָה וְעַל הָעֲבוֹדָה וְעַל גְּמִילוּת חֲסָדִים:

The world stands upon three things: the Torah, the Avodah (work, spiritual work, prayer) and acts of loving-kindness.

רַבִּי מֵאִיר אוֹמֵר, לְעוֹלָם יְלַמֵּד אָדָם אֶת בְּנוֹ אֻמָּנוּת נְקִיָּה וְקַלָּה, וְיִתְפַּלֵּל לְמִי שֶׁהָעשֶׁר וְהַנְּכָסִים שֶׁלּוֹ, שֶׁאֵין אֻמָּנוּת שֶׁאֵין בָּהּ עֲנִיּוּת וַעֲשִׁירוּת.

Rabbi Meir says: A person should always teach his son a clean and easy trade and pray for success to the One to whom wealth and property belong, as ultimately there is no trade that does not include both poverty and wealth.

תנו רבנן איזהו עשיר כל שיש לו נחת רוח בעשרו דברי רבי מאיר... רבי טרפון אומר כל שיש לו מאה כרמים ומאה שדות ומאה עבדים שעובדין בהן. רבי עקיבא אומר כל שיש לו אשה נאה במעשים רבי יוסי אומר כל שיש לו בית הכסא סמוך לשולחנו.

The Sages taught: Who is wealthy? Anyone who gets pleasure from their wealth, that is the statement of Rabbi Meir... Rabbi Tarfon says: A wealthy person is anyone who has one hundred vineyards, and one hundred fields, and one hundred slaves working in them. Rabbi Akiva says: Anyone who has a wife [sic] whose actions are pleasant. Rabbi Yosei says: Anyone who has a bathroom close to his table.
