Average
So, i'm almost twenty five, okay, well i'll be twenty five in like 9 months or soish. And, well, when i was younger, say 12 i thought that i would be married FOR SURE by now. I also thought that i would have a job that i went to college for, ya know that there was probably a reason i spent close to 40,000 dollars on my education. I also assumed that I would not be living with three other people, not driving a cavalier, not sharing 1 bathroom, not sharing a room, not still buying frozen waffles for dinner. Oh wait, but I am. Yes, I am almost twenty five and what do i have to show for it??? Well, lets see....I can tell you all the latest gossip about celebrities cause that's what i do all day...check celebrity blogs and stalk friends of friends. I also have no money. I met with a financial advisor and she broke the bad news telling me that i should have started saving for my retirement long ago. Hello! If i had known that all i had to do was save like 100 bucks a month when i was sixteen i would have not bought all those sour patch kids and kit kats! Which probably would have meant that i wouldn't have had such bad eating habits which is now the reason as to why i have a spare tire around my waist. Anyways, yes i missed the boat is saving for retirement...damn! Not only that, but everytime i think that i want to do something, it turns out that i really don't want to do it. Like, i want to be a writer, but finding the time to write can be difficult, between all the tv i have to watch and sleeping, doing something productive just doesn't quite fit in. (And yes i HAVE to watch tv, do you really want me to have nothing to live for?!) I guess it all comes down to the fact that either I am not as cool and great and smart and talented as i thought, OR, life has really let me down. And quite honestly i choose to believe that life has let me down....because if i go down the other road...well, lets just say i should have stayed in iowa and worked at the BP, at least then i would still get to eat dinner at my mom and dad's. :)
