So I am hanging out with a buddy last night who is in the same line of work as me. We are actually going to be working together for the next 2 years in a foreign country.

Long story short: He is 34 and just got married to a hot and smart South American chick he met at grad school. I like her and think they are happy...

But as we get back to his place because I was too loaded to drive, we start talking about our lives. (she happens to back in her home country right now) I am 35 and had a brief marriage in my mid 20s that cost me a bit but taught me and saved me from so much more. I would not consider myself full-blown MGTOW, but there are some really desirable points in it to which I adhere.

Anyway he goes on to tell me that she has 150K in Grad School loans and he is paying $1200 a month on her loan right now. She is not working because of our unique work situation so it is not all her fault but DAMN!

I am doing whatever the fuck I want today and just could not get over this. Wanted to share.

Stay strong my friends.
