I work for one of the most competitive firms in the world, where every 4th person you meet is clearing $250k a year (1/8 $500k), depending on your office. But despite this one thing I noticed in common with all these young 40's partners is their focus on fixing their work life balance and retirement. There has to be a lesson in there.
These people live comfortable lives and enjoy their jobs, but routinely their biggest focus is on their health, travel, and family. I guess to me what comes from any political debate is what will actually make me happy, and in all reality will any of the candidates really affect that. And having worked with the highest levels of office most have no desire to change anything, regardless if what they campaigned on. So if you can work part time jobs and play Everquest and be happy with your life, why not. If toy want to work 60 hours a week competition for the next career opportunity, do it. But the chances of a politician really affecting your happiness or ability to pursue this is pretty minimal. Especially once they realize the limitations of office. | ||

I hole-hardedly agree,OP, but allow me to play doubles advocate here
for a moment. For all intensive purposes I think you are wrong. In an age where false morals are a diamond dozen, true virtues are a blessing in the skies. We often put our false morality on a petal stool like a bunch of pre-Madonnas, but you all seem to be taking something very valuable for granite. So I ask of you to mustard up all the strength you can because it is a doggy dog world out there. Although there is some merit to what you are saying it seems like you have a huge ship on your shoulder. In your argument you seem to throw everything in but the kids Nsync, and even though you are having a feel day with this I am here to bring you back into reality. I have a sick sense when it comes to these types of things. It is almost spooky, because I cannot turn a blonde eye to these glaring flaws in your rhetoric. I have zero taller ants when it comes to people spouting out hate in the name of moral righteousness. You just need to remember what comes around is all around, and when supply and command fails you will be the first to go. Make my words, when you get down to brass stacks it doesn't take rocket appliances to get two birds stoned at once. It's clear who makes the pants in this relationship, and sometimes you just have to swallow your prize and accept the facts. You might have to come to this conclusion through denial and error but I swear on my mother's mating name that when you put the petal to the medal you will pass with flying carpets like it's a peach of cake. | ||

i rented a long time before i bought a house. i was kinda limited because i wanted to live in a specific neighborhood (good schools, low crime, zero registered sex offenders)
was worth waiting.

ya i was considering buying for a while, but i live in an area where property values have bubbled so even the shittiest dilapidated houses on the smallest lots go for 500k. most tear downs when i was looking at building were at least 500k and they weren't particularly good lots either. same houses that were barely worth 200k 10 years ago. you would have to be retarded to buy a house here unless you were speculatively investing on properties in less developed areas.
plus on a basic level i just don't understand anchoring yourself to 1 spot like that for 25 years unless you're raising kids, which i'm not. i like to travel a lot, and if i'm gone for 3 months it's nice not having to worry about paying a mortgage or having my home get broken into. guess most people just don't live exciting lives. | ||
