RE: Your life...
Don't have a career now, being 17, but I do work at the UPS Store handling shipments and whatnot.
I do know what I want to get into however...I just got accepted to a technical college and am going to peruse a degree in Network Management. Technology and computers have always been my passion. Also plan on doing freelance photography.
In terms of a S/O, just ended a 1 year relationship and am flying solo for the time being.

Correct. There appears to be a difference of opinion over what happy means. Endlessly extolling one's own inflated virtue and fiscal power over the have-nots gets damn old fast. Not to mention the silly insertion of truth as a mask to naked, irritating amour-propre.

RE: Your life...
Although not independently rich by any means ....we do have everything we need or ever wanted ...
I am a fully qualified Plumber in all 7 fields of my trade .....I am self employed and work only when I have too... ( If I can get away with 3 days work a week I do 
) and we go riding or take the cabin sruiser out if its warm....
My misses does not have to work because I drag in enough to keep us well and truly happy ...
She is university educated and smart ....but hey ...I like having her roam around home playing house , even though all the 7 kids have moved on and out ...
Life, I feel some days has been too good to us ...
BTW- i do allot of free work ..( service calls and alike ) just to balance the yin and yang out in our lives ....although me misses hates me doing it ....(shes a tad more greedy than me
)

RE: Your life...
Depending on the economy. Im five years from retirement at 45. I will still own my company but will stay out of the day to day operations and follow a couple other interests.
I have had this goal for over ten years and have been frugil with most purchases in life. Im sure I could have " brand new everything" but if I did that I would be working until 63[:@]

RE: Your life...
im 26 and my wife is 28 been married for almost 7 years.
im a finance manager at a Toyota, Chevrolet store. handle all the financing loans, paperwork, insurance products etc etc. i like it alot. id like it more if business was better.
my wife was a mortgage loan assistant at a bank a year or so ago, but left to be at home with our kids. now she works 3 nights a week waitressing and makes more than she did at the bank doing 40hrs/wk.
lately to make things work due to the slow car business she has been able to work as much as she wants because she's one of the best waitresses they have. that has been a big help.
im happy with my life. is there other things id rather be doing? sure..... but i do enjoy my job.

I'm a mechanical engineer for a branch of General Electric, GE Sensing and Inspection. We specialize in ultrasonic probes and other material testing devices. My GF is in her last semester ofcollege to graduate with a degree in Health and Physical Education. Although she hates being in school life is good. I can say that I could work my job until retirement and be happy with it.
