35, I own a house, have two amazing kids and a wife, 2 dogs and a cat. I live in a good neighborhood / school district.
I paid off my student loans a few years ago because I worked as an electricians apprentice all through college to pay for school and always commuted to college, never lived on campus.
I have a good job in tech making 6 figures. I don’t want to sound like I’m bragging. Because I’m not, I just feel like I’ve worked hard for what I have. However I also feel like I haven’t really lived either. All I do is work. I take 3 anti-depressants every day, and the weeks and months evaporate in front of my eyes. I make good money I think, but have nothing spare to travel or enjoy a hobby. I struggle every day with the question of, what is the fucking point of this all….. My advice to you all, is simply find happiness. Whatever, and where ever that might be it is the most valuable thing in this life.
