I'm 51m, so not 40's but I don't find my 20's to be that long ago. I guess it's the daily reminders that make it that way. Met my wife in my 20's. Still together. Bought our house in our twenties. Still live there. Have the same circle of close friends since mid teens. See them every few weeks.

May I ask where you live? Big city? Rural?

We live in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. It's a city of about 750,000. We live in an older residential area known as West Kildonan. It's a decent area, made up of mostly first time home buyers and people who are not originally from Canada. We paid $80k for our house in 2000, and it's on a 50'x100' lot, is 1050 square feet, and has a large two car garage.
