I think for one think my goals are different than they were when I was 18, 19, and 20. It's like when you are 5 and Mom says you have to wait a whole year for Christmas to come again that it seems like forever. Now Christmas marches in WAY to soon all over again. Time relative to what you've lived gets shorter and so your goals extend further into the future. You knwo yourself better, You know where your going, and you know where you came from. It's a comforting stage to be in. I'm glad to be the age I am (29). I have a child who is beautiful, growing healthy and learning fast. I have a college degree to be proud of, abeit the degree took me 6 1/2 years to get when it's only a 4 year degree, but because of the struggle it means more to me. I know I can do what I truely want to do. I'm married, settled, have my own business and we're enjoying life. We don't have a lot of money and we do have some debt but for now we both have work and it's a good place to be.
