One of the problems with being one of the older guys still posting here in my 40s is that there’s no next steps from yall… you have gotten as far as “make family, have kids, buy house, live wholesome life” but here I am with three kids, one is 10 now, and it’s like… what now?
My family life is fine but it always feels like I haven’t quite accomplished what I hope for yet. I shift between jobs hoping that money will help but ultimately it’s just a means to an end. Experiences, travel, time spent with family, none of it really fulfills me in the way yall hope it will for you. I love them all dearly and I’m in it for the long run but I’m just such a small, insignificant person in the long run, doing what my stupid boss says to do, struggling through the day dealing with idiocy at one failing software company after another.
I’m just really here to tell you that while this is a good goal and maybe the best goal you cannot expect that it is going to magically make you feel perfect. I don’t think there is actually such thing as “a feeling of success”.
