Which is fine, you probalby have nothing and no responsibilities to speak of--all the things that make life so fulfilling in the end, like a family to support.
The last ten years have been in many ways one giant long party for me, I've been able to do things most people only dream of, and been lucky enough to do all that within my means, with enough savings so that I'll be able to go on doing it in retirement some day too.
That doesn't mean I haven't had a plan for my life, I think what you are missing is the "work hard" part of "work hard, play hard". You do need a plan for your life, even as you enjoy every moment of it.
A plan is incompatible with what you just wrote.
I have to say that alot of your posts present the redundant aire of total gloom and doom. Live life and be happy.
Grow up. Just because you're missing the things I've got doesn't mean they're worth nothing. You just don't know.
Why you think this post is doom and gloom I don't know--my response isn't doom and gloom. By New Years day I'll have put any worries about the economy behind me because I'll be ready for whatever. I have people I need to look after that I care about that I would be letting down if I didn't make sure of that.
On December 31st I'm gonna be having more fun than you are, because I'm gonna be having a wild care-free party--living in that moment yes, but also able to with ease because I'll know I'm prepared for whatever may come too.
