A Benz, an expensive oversized house with rooms you only set foot in once a year a year, a respectable job you hate and an attractive wife you don't really love

The US government ordained milestones are: 18 you can smoke, 21 you can drink, 25 you can lower your car insurance rate, then retire at 65.

The mainstay as I was told in BP land was graduate college (bachelors then masters), get a job, get a house, get a car, get a wife, have kids, get them to college, and retire.

Truth is life benchmarks vary from person to person. Even in the middle of one's track can a significant life event or a reassessment of one's personal values can force that person into a new track.

My tip to you is to focus on your values. Are they intrinsic or extrinsic? Do you find happiness in things/people or the doing of things/people? Are you about the results or the pursuit? Are the struggles you have now to accomplish your goals one you want to have and do they correlate with your core values? Do you even know what those values are?

Ultimately, don't get derailed. Thats death. If you do, let it be your say.

Set your own goals. Mine are to finish University, get a good job, buy my own shit without borrowing money and then fuck Asian girls until I'm too old to get an erection.

My daily and life goals: love God, love people, grow my business to extreme heights, eat healthy food (as many organic whole, raw fruits and veggies as possible), avoid the SAD/western diet, invest heavily, work out regularly, be friendly, outgoing, talkative, complimentary, optimistic, bold, giving, alive. Make silly amounts of money. Avoid debt. Have fun. Be the best I can be.
