Ever feel you can't achieve or afford your dreams?

No.

I have a valid astronaut application in with NASA.

I call every 87-89 days to verify that my app is still on-hand.

Goals without action aren't goals, they're dreams.

Go get your dream, Big Guy. Take the risk.

Being content is for losers. I don't like achieving the goal as much as the process however hard it may be

I watched a whole season of that terrible show "the ghost whisperer" because of her fine arse!

If you can achieve your dreams, you didn't dream big enough.

I have to laugh, because 'achieve your dreams' is such bullshite. And this is coming from a guy that has had a great life.

We have had only 45 presidents in our countrys history, but millions dream of becoming that. There are only a handful of hall of fame athletes, but even more millions dream of that. Same could be said of any profession. In reality, what people 'dream' about gets short-circuited in almost every situation, and then a lesser 'dream' takes its place. And the chase continues (think about all the people that changed their majors)

You may dream of a fine car, or a big house, or a wealthy spouse, but eventually its never the one you 'dreamed' about. You settle on that dream car, or house, or spouse, or career for one you could obtain. It becomes a source of depression. And the few people that reach that ultimate goal, some do pretty shitty things to get & stay there. I would speculate that was an unwanted part of their dream. Resulting in suicides, criminal acts, addictions, and divorce, due to their 'shattered dreams'.

So I'm more of a 'find contentment' guy. Find the thing youre good at. Take every opportunity that comes your way, because youre gonna need a LOT of luck. Set realistic goals. And then build the best house you can afford, and drive a car that meets your needs & wallet, marry that person that finds you interesting, raise your kids to enjoy that life. Enjoy the journey. Don't live for outsiders expectations

And you will be far, far happier, than chasing a dream - that a million other people would just as soon cut your throat, in order to make sure you don't get it, instead of them

It's all vain. Once you get to the point where you can afford your dreams, you have to work so hard that you can't afford to take the time off from work to enjoy what you once dreamed.

I'm 50...feel like time is slipping by. " now or never crossroad"...attitude inside

Started a big house project without fully counting the costs..

Wife mad ...I put my family in a tough pickle..

Feeling down, mad, defeated...embarrassed

Achieve? No.
Afford? Absolutely.

It definitely sucks to see my fellow classmates taking trips to the beach, eating out every lunch together, and going to summer school in France while my wife and I couldn't afford a honeymoon and barely can afford to eat meat half the time when she works all the time.

No, I'm just tired of subsisting off of leftover cold dominos pizza when I'm mildly lactose intolerant.
