At sckool, you thought you would be a billionare
After skool, you thought you would have the prettiest girl, the highest paid job, the best suits, biggest house and car.
You reach 35, you have a bag for a belly, no money, broke, a all washed up drunk, wearing the same clothes you wore last year.
But what really gets you is when you look at all your fancy friends in their fancy cars and big shot houses. It really bites you dont it?

LIFE IS WHAT YOU MAKE IT.
IT IS NOT TOO LATE TO CHANGE, YOU JUST HAVE TO RECOGNIZE THE PROBLEM.

well frankie, stop thinking in those terms. i never thought i would be a billionare.how many people does that happen too.the prettiest mate, does that matter?who is to say,who is the prettiest, is it not in the eye of the beholder. the highest paid job,well come on , who wants to be the president? the best suits,would you really like to be in a stuffy suit all day? the biggest house and car, who wants to live in the biggest house if its not a home filled with love? and for the biggest car, who could afford the gas? when you get past the 35 and reach maybe 50 or 55, you will realize it just does not matter,you can not take it with you,what you have tried to reach with those ideas, really does not matter. just try to live your life with what you have and try to be happy.

Look on the bright side. You have no financial considerations or need to find a place to park. You don't have to go shopping for paint at the weekend. You don't need a big wardrobe but you obviouly have plenty of food with a belly like that and can get drunk without anyone hassling you and you don't need to remember anniversaries. You are so lucky.

No. You sound like you really need some help! You need to think about the things you have now, and not compare yourself to others.
I'm 37, have two wonderful children, and a lovely husband. Nothing else matters - the cars, houses etc. You need to get some perspective on life.

life is what you make it, you can't sit around expecting all the good stuff to fall into your lap,
I guess if you are still wearing last years clothes you havent exactly been makeing an effort to improve your life, only you can make it better,
Get off your **** and sort it out,
On the other side of it, its very easy to look at other people and think they have it all, but the reality is there are not many people who are truly happy with their life, even rich married people have their problems,
some friends of mine had it all money cars kids holidays twice a year both a good looking couple, the truth was he had a gambling problem and she was seeing another man to console her misery!

Hi,
no it should not, cause everything has it time and season. Believe in the power that belongs to God and ask it will be given unto you. There is this saying "You cry, you donot have shoes, untill you meet a man that has not feet".
God bless

It's all in the attitude. It's never too late to change...you just have to want change. Start reading some books on the subject and go about changing your lifestyle. It's all about what you want out of life and going after it...just like your fancy friends did, and one day you will have a bigshot house too!

This appears to be classic Transference. You need to get back in touch with the things that give you reasons to get up every morning and be grateful for what you have in your life, not what you lack.

Sounds like you should have made better choices, chosen better friends and gotten more education. And get a second job, make friends that have improved their status, find out how they did it and where best to invest your money regularly, however small.

I think we all make our own decisions and have to live with the consequences. I wouldn't change anything about my life. Its sad that you seem so bitter about yours.

Actually, I just wanted a decent life for myself. Not the best life, but at least SOMETHING. I worked hard, endured other people's unending hate towards me, graduated from college with good grades, interned for no pay, and haven't gotten a damn thing for my efforts. NOT A DAMN THING! So yes, I am bitter and have every right to be!
And no, life is NOT what you make it. It's what OTHERS MAKE IT FOR YOU! And others have made my life HELL for 24, going on 25 years!!!!!!!!
