    Maybe it's a cultural thing but growing up this felt very real to me. I had family that passed in their 20s and 30s, my father passed in his early 50s. And, even though I live a very healthy life (exercise, no smoking, no drinking, healthy food), I find it difficult to see myself living into my late 60s, 70s, and 80s. Sure, I plan for it financially but I've certainly never counted on it. So, I honestly have no goals that I am not currently working on, at some capacity.

    Of course, I'm half the age of most of the posters in this thread so I could be completely wrong. But, I feel like I've been trained to consider myself 'mid-life' right now.

    it's that time again, 27 years old coming around the corner. I feel ****face scumbag, for losing someone I just met that rocked my world, but I already had someone else. I really did not want to hurt anyone's feeling but I ended up screwing myself over and them. Maybe is the fact that I work graveyard shift and I feel lonely, sad, depressed and the fact that im not just pleased with my current love and only getting older. Vent over

    Damn, this thread is really depressing.
    My story: 28 years old and just recently realizing that I can never change some of my bad traits. That I can never be the 'man' that my mother and past girlfriends wanted me to be. I've got a pretty decent job, but looking forward to the future I see myself working non stop until I am 60 with only 3 weeks of vacation every year. Life can get pretty boring that way. And I will never get rich working this same job.

    I make decent money, but I hate seeing people sick and dying. It's not always about the money man. I might change my short new career.

    Why don't save up a bit and then try something else?
