Thanks. New doctor, and today was the first time meeting each other. She was completely astonished at my recovery. I told her I had one of the best doctors, he managed to save me. She had the easy job now, just keep me status quo. She even got some of my quirks, while her assistant was just rolling at my shenanigans.

I guess I'm a little middle ground, I'm saving a decent amount for later in life to be comfortable, but I'm having fun now, being careful to not get in a situation where I can't sleep at night stressing money. From age 23-30 I pretty.much worked my rear off. The weekends I was actually off of work I just wanted to relax and my wife would drag me around taking the kids to all kinds of places. Looking back I'm glad she did, but I was way more negative about it than I should have been. Since about age 30, I'm 35 now, I've really slowed down with work, and enjoy taking the kids to places and doing more. I think it's a little easier that they are older and it's less stressful than when they were 4 years old and I'd have to chase them around a zoo.

Well said, I couldn't agree more.
I ain't ashamed to admit any of it either. We're broke because we have set a goal and if we don't succeed it sure won't be from a lack of trying. When we was without power it was a real bummer, but it brought some humbleness to us and we made the best out of it. Cooked and made coffee over a fire, spent every night with candlelight. And man is there really something special about a beautiful woman nekkid in the Creek.
LOL LOL LOL,,,, I respect you,,,, it's hard to find anyone who is grateful anymore,,,, especially young people,,,,

One day, we'll all be debt free and penniless. Might as well live it up till then.
I had a great-aunt who taught me an important life lesson without even realizing it. When I was growing up, I assumed she was dirt poor, because of the way she lived. Far from it. She was saving every penny, and I mean every durn one. She would make one cake of cornbread a week, and would reuse old overall scraps for toilet paper and wash them to use again. Mostly ate stuff like boiled turnips and squash. She would use one light bulb and keep it unscrewed during the daytime. She was one of the most miserable people I have ever met, and all she thought about was saving her money.
She would complain bitterly about anyone who spent a dime on anything, and talk about how she couldn't afford to waste money like most people. Never went and did anything she enjoyed at all. Stayed mad and worried all the time.
When she died, she was in her 90s, and had probably close to three million in bank and assets. She might as well have not had a penny, and been a Somalian living in a dirt hut for all the good it did her.
I am alive today, I might not be tomorrow.

Sounds like you are far richer than most people my friend.
That's the answer to about have my problems each day.
Praise God, Glad to hear it!
I am 51 and fully realize that I have way more behind me, than I have in front of me. I spent way to much of my life chasing the American dream financially, that I missed the important things in life.
I don't think I fully learned to live contently until I was in my mid forties.
Congratulations,,,, great to hear,,,, thank the good Lord,,,,
