I have a family of 6. My wife and I, plus 4 children. I aim to be playing everything from $11 to $50 tourneys when I quit work. I need to be able to make at least as much as I do at work, 70k, while having more time to devote to family as that is one of the selling points for my wife. I am simply starting in the micros. Also, once I quit work, I will not be able to reload a
bankroll. I am lucky enough to own everything I have, house, land, 2 almost new vehicles etc yet I still have probably 2k / month in bills. I guess for me it is just the comfort of having a large roll because I have large responsibilities. May not be optimum for everyone, but for me, it is.
