ha ha ha well I have had my own internet based business for about 10 years. Its at the point where I don't really need to do anything now as the business takes care of itself lol, so when I retire at 40 I will still be getting a very good income from it, though only one thing missing a good looking woman lol,

Oh no, you always struck me as a happy go lucky person, I hope things get better for you. You need to sit your hubby down and have a good talk, I know it sounds easier said than done

Well, I'm contented with what I achieved to this moment of my life. I am not dreaming of fancy things in my life but I am happy with my relationship with my hubby, my family, brother and sister and my parents. Though, we have no lots of money but we are still glad with what we have. Am thankful to the Lord.

Hi Missybear, I am happy with what i am and what i have now but not totally what i want to be same with you. I am happy because i am with my family, we live together in a safe apartment, my husband and i have regular jobs and enjoying our sidelines too...but we are hoping the soon we will be able to buy our dream house and car. but we are blessed and thankful for what we have right now. a new house--our dream house and new car- our dream car are bonuses for doing our best to be good with our jobs and in taking care of our kids!

I am working on my little house on the beach, hard to figure it out what exact beach should I choose...too many choices. California is too expensive so is Hawaii, I am not sure about Florida...maybe Italy or Spain...by the time I made my mind...the only place I will afford is Greenland... HUGS

I am not happy now. I was not the person I have wanted to be. I had planed to do many things and complete some of them. But the progress is too slow. I can't wait to finish them as early as possible. I think they are very important and urgent.

Hi, good for you, you find a really place for you life, living at the beach is really great, it's my dream house, I live in a big city, but I don't like here, it always has heavy traffic, and the living condition is really crowd, I don't like this situation here, I want to move to a small city, and have my own house there, that would be great.

I won't be thirty until next year, but I think that I am right where I want to be at this point in my life and actually beyond where I intended to be in many ways. I'd always said that I would have had my children by the time that I was 30 years old and I've done that, I have a wonderful 7-year-old daughter and a great 3-year-old son. I also always knew that I eventually wanted to have a home of my own and my husband and I accomplished that goal last year in February. Now, my main thing that I want to accomplish with my life is I want to be out of debt.

I need to work on the debt issue myself. It sounds like you're doing great

I am happy in my marriage, but thats about it. I am not working at all and the college I had thought I graduated from decided that I need three more classes in order to get my degree. I need to look into financial aid so I can finish those three courses. I am upset about the whole ordeal because I had worked so hard to finish. I am wondering if I have not been hired anywhere because I had said that I gradauted college when in fact I never received my degree. I need to find a way to make money so I can help with the household.

That's upsetting I'm sure. I hope you get it soon so you can get a job. Good Luck.

hi,missybear The people who took part in the discussion appeared to be happiness, and wish you always happy. At this point, I'm living a big city where the environment is very bad.I don't know where I want be and how I would be.Here I must struggle for the house, the car all the time, not what the end is. To survive better,I try my best to study and work hard to improve my ability.So I can say:I am on the road of seeking happiness.

Now I am living where I want to be, doing a living by myself, and with a great partner by my side. Of course there are still things that I want to accomplish, but having gone this far is a great accomplishment for me, and that motivates me to go the way up.

Hi there missy bear. I think all of us believe in improvement of our life and probably would want more than we have, we strive for perfection even when we are happy, but that is a good thing if it's not extreme. I am 22 years old, i have a girlfriend and we are steady for 2 years and 2 months now (will have 2 months on 8th of December), i have finished college with no failed exams, i have 2 savings accounts and some stashed away money at my grandma. What i don't have is a job at the moment, or a drivings license and this are my next objectives to solve in the nearby future. I guess i am satisfied :) PS: I am healthy and so are my parents and my loved one, so I am grateful for this.

You sound like a person that knows what they want in live, that's great. Being healthy is always a bonus in live.

Hi missy! I'm glad to hear that you are where you want to be in your life! And it sounds pretty good to me! I am alot older than you and don't think I will ever be where I really want to be! But, I am happy enough with where I am, I guess! Things definitely haven't turned out too great for me, but then they could always be much worse so I am greatful for what I have!

I never really pictured myself with a bunch of kids and the house with the white picket fence, so I guess I got what I need. Still hoping for the house on the beach though

I'm ok with where I'm at at this point. I am not settled though. There are still some things that I want to accomplish and do. I don't know if I will ever be exactly where I want to be but I am hoping that I will.
