| | So I had an epiphany a few months ago. I was sitting in my house around 2am playing video games of some sort....and realized that staying up this late doing "nothing" isn't going to get me anywhere. I felt like I plateued in my career but was happy about where I was but wanted more. More of everything but mostly money. Money can't buy you happiness. I am happy. So I have that everything else is materialistic. I admit, I have my wishlist of high priced items. Some of which are in my grasp now. I am at a place in my life where I can say that I have exceeded my own expectations of what I wanted at my age. Wanted in the sense of those invaluable items you can't buy with money. I know, for the first time in my life, I can say that my head is above water and everything else is going to be gravy. They say you should keep 3-6 months of savings just incase anything happens. I have that. I have more than that...alot more. I have no debt, except for my mortgage. My car payment is 0% so that's nothing. I can probably pay off the car now if it wasn't 0%....but that's free money. But with those happy things comes added responsibility. I have mouths to feed and colleges to pay for. My materialistic items have to wait, a little while anyways. Why make money when you can't spend it?
If I were still single, I'd be renting in the city, driving a porsche 911 turbo, wearing $3000 suits and have roley's for everyday of the week. I know myself. I know that I wouldn't have any savings and still living paycheck to paycheck. I know that I wouldn't be as happy as I am now. I thank God for everything he has given me and I try not to take that for granted.
