EPTNow things seem to be turning around since I was able to start my career last year after graduating in '10 and the area's economy is picking back up, but I think I'm a lot better off for having gone through it right before staring my adult life. I lived pretty comfortably my first 16 years, so going through 5 rough years of having to struggle to have any spending money at all was a great lesson. It kind of hit me when I saw a blog about impulsive spending a few days ago, and realized that even after almost a year of being financially comfortable again, I'm still only spending money on things I really want/need.

Feels like the next 1-2 years is really gonna make or break the rest of my life... hopefully it works out in the end! I'm in a similar but slightly worse situation now. Good to know I'm not alone. | ||

probably when I was told I would be judged the rest of my life by how I did on pointless tests on pointless material. Lost faith in humanity and what people value in this society is funny | ||

That was me and a lot of my friends a year or two ago. I would say we all have mediocre jobs, some better than others, but you learn, build up some experience and see what you like. When my dad passed away, life was pretty shitty. Life's ok now. | ||

Eventually, you either die or get bored of feeling sorry for yourself. I end up the latter, so I turned the corner. | ||

Right now I'm in a situation where I need to decide my next 3-4 years. It frightens me as such plans "failed" earlier before due to me getting along with the "life". | ||
