I'm gonna go with no on the car and 9-5, and rebalance the scale a bit...

I'm gunna say no on the house too and I better get actual sleep, not just naps.

I'd prefer a 2500 sq ft shop in the mountains with living quarters, but the middle class house is what I've got. About to irritate some of the neighbors with a 24x32 shop though. Also, sometimes a nap in a hammock beside a creek is just what the doctor ordered.

I need a parking spot and maybe a portable shed. Drive Houston to Edmonton back and forth

And thus... the beauty of going your own way...

Yes - to make this accurate the need to add "married" between "an" and "adult".

i’d rather have my life .. taking public transit in a medium sized city, living alone in a quiet old lovely sparse apartment, working as a scientist, and sleeping 8-14 hours per day

Reliable high mileage transport, ok, but rather have a truck for projects.
Boring house in suburbs, no, but definitely a house in the country with privacy, no neighbors close by, and enough land to garden, cut firewood, hunt, fish, etc. Big plus for garage, workshops to be self sufficient
9-5 jobs can suck or be tolerable, choose wisely. STEM for the win.
Naps are a great thing

I could do without the home and I like my truck so for now no mid range car for me. I do like my job though.and it never hurts to nap every now and then, especially what with not having to deal with a nagging girlfriend.

As long as I can remember I've always wanted this. Instability is for psychopaths and women.

The only one I agree with is the nap lol.
The car I want is versatile. Likely a pick up truck because I value utility of the vehicle more than the look. I personally hate sedans. Either I have a motorcycle (TRUE fuel efficiency) or I have a pick up truck for luggage/deliveries/orders/etc or both.
No ways in hell do I want to leave near people. I want a farm/homestead and want my nearest neighbour to be just out of shouting range (people bring unnecessary drama) and I want self sufficiency. Honestly what does a neighborhood actually bring for you in this digitalised world? We may as well be physically separated.
I certainly want my adrenaline rush and excitement but I know that isn't something that comes for free and must be balanced with stability.
IDEALLY I never want to work again and go full off-grid but that means I need to work harder than a 9-5 work week.

I have an eh car, live a stable life in a luxe flat where many a nap has been taken as there is no woman to bitch at me to get up!

Thank you for saying "neighborhood" instead of "community"!!!
Communists love to manipulate our language into using theirs.
I don't live in a community as we don't fucking commune. We each live our separate lives, drive to our separate employers, and manage separate plots of land. We WILL however, let each other know, via email (the beauty of technology), if a skunk comes waltzing down the block.
Use the word "neighorhood", not "community"!

I have these things because no women. Also great hobbies. And i got them after recovering from a really low dark place.
