I read the OP twice trying to avoid falling into the massive chasm of the question. Ooops. I'm currently in freefall like a confused cartoon character in a bottomless pit. I think you sound like another soul-searching Young White American that has more money than sense. But I'm an asshole that has spent most of his adult life suffering for money. Nobody can tell you what to do with your life. The prepackaged plans that your parents, friends, girlfriend, the media, etc. push on you are good but they're also not the end. My understanding of what you do with your youth is toil and suffer so that you can gradually become more comfortable as you age. By the time I'm dead, I'll be happy. We spend all our youth on education and preparation for life. We accumulate huge amounts of debt. Somebody clue me in how you have a real life and plan for the future. My life has been nothing but running and crawling to the next goal. I wish I didn't invest in relationships (they fail), I wish I could just take a year off and feel like I wasn't losing out on $100k.
Blegch.
