Death is the only certainty in life, right? Well, other than taxes.
I'm in my mid-20's. I've got financial stability. I've got an IRA, of all things. I'm planning on living for at least 60 more years, I hope, but tomorrow always brings a risk that terrible stuff could happen. Have I lived my life to the fullest so far? Probably not, but I'm reasonably happy with it. I just need to do everything I can to live the life I want. It's my own psyche that's preventing me with being satisfied with my life state right now. I have enough in savings, and yet if I die tomorrow... how can I say I really lived? It's this balance between living life to its fullest now and making sure I don't piss away my future that I constantly struggle with.
Most of what I want to do before I die will involve traveling. I really, really want to see every corner of this world before I move on.
