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?

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