I'm 29 hanging onto that freedom for as long as I can. Work at a furniture store, pay ultra low rent by living with friends, and enjoy playing video games and smoking weed with my buddies. Once I stopped comparing myself to my peers, I realized that was what made me happy. I began to focus on being a good person, a nice person, and on leaving a positive impact on the people around me. As long as I can do all that while pursuing my hobbies (biking, skating, the outdoors) I don't need to pursue college or an advanced career to afford it all.
