So I turn 23 tomorrow-
 

Where the hell did the last 5 years go? I've been out of high school for 5 years already- when did that happen?

I started thinking about where I'm at in life right now.

So far I've got a beautiful wife that loves me, we've got no kids, I get to work on my car projects in our 2-car garage, I've got a job I really like that pays fairly well, and for the most part I'm healthy.
The bad, we've got a fair amount of debt, we only rent and not own our place, and I'm not sure what I'm doing now is what I want for a career, even though it will probably pay well enough.

But I stop to think about it, and I'm only just turning 23- I've got tons of time to get all that stuff straightened out. To me, I'm pretty happy where I'm at in life right now.

What about you fools? You think things are goin alright, or are you hatin' life?

Renting is a waste..

I'm 21, almost debt free aside from my recent car purchase. Live in a house, no rent here. My job sucks ass, I'm currently looking for a new job. I'd really like to chill at home. But thats never going to happen >:(

Don't I know it, but we tried to buy a house about 6 months ago and couldn't, there's no way we could get one now.

The area we live in is in the top 5 for most overinflated housing costs. People who paid 170,000 for their homes 3 years ago are selling them for 350,000+ right now.

sucks :'(

Sounds like you're doing decent for 23. Work on eliminating your debt and set a goal to get it down and buy a house in the next 2-3 years.

also, don't smoke crack. its bad.

Yeah my wife works at our bank and she's friends with this financial guy, he showed us that if we have some self control, we can completely eliminate our debt in 2.5 years.
