Paradox
Marine Bonsologist
I completely understand everyone here’s standpoint.. HAVE to do what YOU have to do to care for/protect those you love.
I just HAVE to point out..
That when you have kids.. it’s an ENTIRELY different game..
Or if you made bad choices, like roughly 60 percent of people in your post-high school/college years... it sets you back enough that you basically have to start over...
Then.. if you have BOTH... that “gravy-train” becomes idealized and SO unrealistic to obtain...
So we alter our IDEA.. of what that “Gravy-Train” IS...
Kudos to those who were wise, early on... and most likely were presented opportunities/expectations that some never had during development, and “made it” in the classical sense... I know many people like this.. They have earned EVERY iota of their happiness...
But, it’s important to understand... that’s only half or less.. of people...
Once you KNOW it.. you own it, though... so from this discussion FOWARD.....

I agree.
However, it is also never too late to get back on track if you do get set back.
Resiliency is key
