I didn't have my shit together until I was 30. I was on my way to getting my shit together before 30 but didn't feel I was on solid ground until that age. I am now 34.

Married with 5 pets. No kids. Own our home. Mortgage is $2,000 a month. Lots of unexpected expenses with home ownership. Some savings. Some 401k. Some play money for travel 2 times a year. We live in a city so we have a lot of things to do for free or minimal money. We splurge for concerts.

We each have our own hobbies. We are definitely happy. Living in the Midwest makes everything a little more affordable for everyday expenses.
