Please answer this question for me. I have no idea. But I feel very sure that I am far behind those who are the same age as myself. So what should you have accomplished? What have you accomplished?

Well, i was working, earning, spending and having fun. I got everything that i wanted with my money and noe i am 31, i have a son, loving husband, my very own house,a car, a bike and no job! I left my career to take care of my son and i sometimes wish i could go back to work and be independent like i was before. but again, who would take of my son if i start working?

I am glad that you have accomplished everything you had wanted by the age of 30. It is quite rare to find somebody who is content with their lives at the present moment. I can already envision you accomplishing other goals after your son has become self-sufficient enough for you to branch out. Thank you for your response.

I'm halfway there but by the time i'm already 30 years old i want to have my very own car. My dream car if possible . A car i earned with my own blood and sweat. I want to be able to afford and make a compound of houses that i will put for rent and the half of the money 1/4 would be for my parents, another 1/4 would be for my grandparents and half will go my savings. When i have saved enough i will by my own house.

I understand what you mean about earning a car of your own. I was so excited when I paid off my car. I hope you reach your goals. And hopefully, you live in an area where the cost of living is not so high. Thank you for your response.

I have quite a way to go before I am 30, but what I envision where I will be by that age is with a significant other. I hope to find someone that I will want to spend my future with, hopefully someone I can spend the rest of my life with. It would also be nice to either be married and maybe have a child or engaged by that time. I mean, anything can happen in the future. It doesn't matter what others think. If you feel okay where you are right now, then just go with the flow. If you don't feel satisfied, do something different. Do something you wouldn't do normally, but stay safe still and don't be reckless. Don't let other peoples' opinions or their actions affect you. I know that you probably are feeling like you're not quite up to par with a lot of the people that are your age, but there really is no race. Do what you feel is most comfortable but don't force it on yourself because you think you should be doing this or that by a certain age. Anyway, I hope that helped a bit =]

I've noticed that what you wish to accomplish is to be married and have kids, which is an admirable goal, but that's never been a goal of mine. Thank you for your concern but I am quite careful in that aspect. I don't feel as though I am behind people in ways that you think. I am more concerned with lack of experiences, I guess. I feel that I should have experienced more of life. I've been too cautious up until now and I feel as though I had missed out on a lot of things. Thank you very much for your response. It did help a bit. =)
