It may also have been an expression of some future dreams for himself that he didn't have at the time he wrote it.

The premise of "Family Man" is a nice one. I just think the way he communicated it lyrically was tiresomely repetitive, and the phrase "I am what I am, am what I am" for some reason recalls Popeye to me. Finally, I don't go for the whole "echo" bit.
It stuns me that they made so many extended remixes (like, three or four!!) of a song with so little meat to it, just repeating the same thing over and over and over and over....
But, to each his own!
