I'm a slacker. I've gotten nowhere in my life as yet, I work at the postal services, I'm single, I don't go out... I'm very laid back, and if I see how others my age do, I wonder why. What do you think is best, personally: my life as a slacker or their "house-garden-tree" life with wife and kids ?

Yes, I'm a slacker and I work, I hate it and it's only a low-level government job...

It really depends on the person. But you also have to thing of the future and whether you will be happy with being alone when you are older. I don't think that either of these are necessarily a personality, but a choice of how to live. If you are happy being alone and think you will continue to be happy in the future then why change? But eventually you may regret not trying to have connection with someone because that conncetion may be the one thing you are looking for and you didn't even know it.

Living the slacker life is fine. Not much stress, not much worries, not much responsibilities. All sounds good. You might see people your age marrying and having children now, but you need patience. Wait another 25 years and look at those same people. Those who married wisely are still together, but those who married foolishly ended up divorced and unhappy family life. As a slacker, you will observe these twists and turns life takes for those married with children. The bottom line is life is tough. As a slacker you don't want to get caught up in the rat race.

Different ppl want different things. I loved being single because I could basically go and do as I pleased. Now that I have a child, I can't do that as much but I love my daughter so much and wouldn't giver her up for anything. Also some things are better with 2 ppl and it's kinda nice to rely on them once in a while. I sometimes miss having a guy around that will hold me when I want to be held or go out when I want to go out. Those ppl getting married and having kids will sometimes want to be single again when their lives get hectic. Do what you want to do with your life. Take this opportunity to grow and learn as much as you can. Then, when you're ready to settle down, you'll really be ready...emotionally, physically and financially.

What's best for you may not be what is best for everyone else. The people your age that are married with kids are living that life because they want it and are (hopefully) prepared for it. It doesn't make you any less of a person because you don't fit the typical description of someone your age. And who's to say what is typical and normal anyway?

I happen to know a lot of people who would've been better off if they never met. Or had kids. Or both.
I've met people who have cashed out their 401K's and traveled the world. Or still do.
Grass ain't greener. You do what is right for you, not try to fit some fabricated societal-mold. But if you feel you're missing out, then make your mark in this world before you kick the bucket. Win a surfing contest, donate bone marrow, patent and idea, join a band, I dunno, something.

I would have said you were about equal;
but you gave just enough away to say that you are not as good
as them.
But dont worry too much-just look at the "heights" you can
reach.

Whichever is best for you.
Once you have kids, you'll miss the days that you had a care-free schdule.

Whichever suits the individual concerned.
If one is satisfied with his/her lifestyle, who's to question it?
