[QUOTE="Wystan, post: 2893271, member: 21422"] Okay, here is my 2 cents, due to inflation, you now owe me a nickel.... 1. I am 32, overweight, in possession of a house that I owe a LOT of money on (welcome to NJ where the small small small houses are 300-400K) 2. I make less than my friends, give more away to charity, and have more debt hanging over me 3. I never went to college, couldn't afford it at the time 4. I am married, my wife also never went to college, couldn't afford it or the time. 5. I have worked a bunch of dead end jobs, then moved on to a help desk, now I work with Information Security. I have no degree so little job security if they feel they need a piece of paper to show competance. Now the good news: 1. I am healthy, (except one disease that has no known cause or cure), my wife works and gets paid pretty well, (but the debt is still there). But we realize that money only buys things, it does not teach us to be happy with what we have. 2. I have a loving wife and great friends. 3. I get $120 a month allowance (not including 4-5 books a month (reading books, not RPG)) 4. My answer to stress? Prayer (when I remember), friends, laughing. You need to learn that there are some things that you have to do every week and some that can be left for every other/every third week. Sweeping - Every week, dusting - Every 2, dishes - daily, ect. Then you need to set aside a night to get together with friends and Play. RPG, Magic, Munchkin, B-Movie Night (Shaun of the Dead is good for this, as is Remo Williams), lan Party.... Etc.... If you live near Northern NJ my group gets together on Tuesday nights, send me an e-mail. william (that dot thing) wcurtiskpmg (that a in a circle thing) gmail (that dot thingie again) com. We game D&D most weeks, but some weeks are things like poker, pool....ect. (PS I am the youngest right now at 32... :)) [/QUOTE]
