[quote=John McClane]Just deleted like 90% of my Amazon wishlists. Maybe that'll stop me from buying shit.[/quote]

[quote=John McClane]I just want to own the ground under my feet. Maybe then I will have a better sense of security and attachment to the area.[/quote]

[quote=John McClane]And I don't want much: 1000 sqft at most.[/quote]

[quote=John McClane]Like the housing market is beautiful right now in our area, but I certainly can't afford anything. By the time I am able to buy a house it ain't going to be cheap. Gunna need to find me a dilapidated building out in the shticks. Raze it and rebuild.[/quote]

[quote=John McClane]My biggest worry is that one day I will be priced out of my own hometown, and I have to prepare for that eventuality now. I don't ever want to leave here. For anything in the world.[/quote]

[quote=John McClane][quote=doubledenim][font=century gothic]Time to start that taco truck.[/font][/quote]That's a sure fire path to obesity and an early heart attack. Sign me up!

[quote=Torgo]I saw that you're a musician and photographer.  Any interest in making a career of either?[/quote]That is the plan. Well, in an ideal world it is the plan. Both fields are so heavily saturated that I don't feel it is wise to invest heavily in those areas. I feel I have a better handle on processing large amounts of information better and quicker than applying it, so maybe I just need to try my hand at consulting. I'll never stop being creative, but a dude gotta eat. Taco truck!

[quote=Austruck]You are SO young. At your age I was in far worse straits... and frankly, now in middle age, I'm living my best life. I am happy, content, and feel fulfilled 99% of the time. (That other 1% is when the internet goes down.)  :D[/quote]Yeah, in the grand scheme of things I am just now getting my sea legs, but the problem with aging is keeping that fire lit. I am happier now than I was ten years ago or rather the things I need to make myself happy are so simple that it just seems that way.[/quote]

[quote=Austruck][quote=John McClane]I am so burnt out right now. It's looking more and more like I may be stuck at a 9-5 the rest of my life. :bawling:

At least I believe in the work my job entails. Not nearly as soul crushing as my last job.[/quote]

[quote=Chypmunk]All food trucks should be operated randomly imo ;)[/quote]

[quote=ynwtf]funny you say that. I've caught myself fantasizing about owning and operating a food truck randomly for a few years now.[/quote]
