Again, you are a kid in college. Your only commitment is going to class and you are ready to "drop everything"

Went to a game Tuesday. I'm not even a diehard MLB fan or anything but sitting on a blanket on the grass with a cold drink in 75 degree sunshine filled weather watching baseball.....it was a good afternoon.

And seriously...you have no idea how difficult nursing school can be at times as well.


I found my prereqs at LSU to be easier than when I actually attended nursing school.

frick no. I love my job, but the beauty of our economic system is that you don't have to work forever. I'm shooting for early retirement in my 40s through saving, debt aversion, and investment. I'll then play guitars and learn how to sail and shite.

I would enjoy not having to work. I would settle down and raise a family. I'd travel a lot so i could show my so the world. I would go to lots of concerts and work on my music and focus hard on forming a band to play my songs.

I retired at 56, been at it for several years now. I enjoy doing whatever I feel like, for example being on this board at 3AM with no reason to wake up early. I did a lot of vacation traveling while I was still working, and while I can afford to just take off and leave the country, the desire is not as big as it once was. We do a major trip about every other year, but it is great to take a lot of mini vacation trips 4-5 days whenever we feel like it. I had several different careers, and never let them become my identity so leaving the working world was not a big adjustment. I did try a little consulting work thinking that since I didn't really have to do it it would be more fun and less stressful, but I quickly learned working sucks even when you don't have to do it. My only real purpose in life at this time is being a major irritant to my friends that still have to work. Most of them have always made a lot more money than me, but I used a tried and true recipe for early retirement. Keep debt to a minimum, live below your means, invest as much as you can for as long as you can.

I'd hunt, fish, and workout mostly. I would also enjoy watching movies at night and cooking with my old lady and throw in a little more time with my dogs as well.

I would be a Corsican, Black Hawaiian, Painted Desert, American Blackbelly Barbado sheep and Axis, Fallow, whitetail deer breeder and sell hunts as well. Good thing I started last year purchasing these animals while I had a job.
