I'm 23 and sometimes still feel amazed how fast the teenage years went. It seems once you get out of high school time flies way too fast, and now that I've been done college for 2 years it goes even faster. I recently bought a house and still can't believe I made it up to this point in life. Will be nice once the house is ready and I move in and have it all to myself. I just hope I can at least enjoy a few more years of being single and stress free before a wife comes into play.

This year has been a blast but it's going by soooo fast.
I turned 45 back in March and like to feel 25 every day but you know you cannot beat the clock regardless of how much money you have or who you know...
I know the majority of posters on this forum are very young. Enjoy your youth! It's something you can never get back once it's gone!
Yes you can. Look at Cher.

Sadly, there is a reason for this.

Seriously, it seems like only yesterday her dad held a shotgun to my balls while I said, "I do."

there is some sort of phenomenon, im really surprised i don't see more discussion about it...
time accelerates as you age!
maybe less 'new' things for your brain? i dont know, but it sucks
Einstein already solved this one. The faster you go, the slower time goes. But when you get older and slower, time goes faster.

I'm turning 24 next week... I feel like I'm absolutely hemorrhaging time and youth
Most of my friends are 30 and getting married, having babies, etc. And to think that in just 5 years I'm kind of expected to be at that stage... it sucks. 5 years is approximately 5 seconds. I will never be able to reach their level of success in 5 years either

Success is being happy in life. Don't let anyone tell you any different.

Yes, and that's what I'm trying to reach. For me, happiness is composed of freedom and the youth/time to exercise such freedom. That takes money, enough money or passive income to not have to work. Most people don't have a choice whether or not to work or when to work. That's not freedom.
Just a few days ago I did a photography job for the founder of Infinity Ward (Call of Duty). Retired at 30. My brother in law was an extremely high ranking member of JEDEC in his 20's. He was jet-setting all over the world and having a global impact, a personal hand, in all the memory markets. Now he's the co-owner to the largest house staging company in California and possibly the entire United States. And that's just his bread and butter to cover the son he's expecting next week. He's got other business ideas that he's working on now and plans to retire very comfortably by 40. If he didn't have a kid and instead had my simple requirements for happiness, he could retire right this moment because his staging company already runs itself.

Congrads on the house. I'm having hard enough time securing a fixed rate mortgage.

Well, good luck finding your happiness. :beer:
I'm very fortunate in life. I used to be very poor, almost homeless. I told myself that I would be happy with a job that I liked, a roof over my head, food, and enough income to not literally worry myself sick at night.
I have those things now, and I really want for nothing. I feel really lucky.
