What holding you back to enjoy your life

I was so envy those people who can go around the globe, and see the real world. I also admire those people who has been to almost 50 of states, and they see everything and enjoy every bit of it. When I look back at myself, I literally never been to many places. I never been to new york, and I never been to California, and many more places, and to see the nice sunset on the beach, and to see beautiful scenery of grand canyon. I am over 30 years old, and so much I miss in my life. When I got old, would I be energetic and passionate about it too? I wish that I would pay off my debt earlier, and go on a trip even though it is on myself.

I also have never been to lots of places. I don;t regret it though. I have to live within my means. Some of those people have enough money to be able to travel like that. As I get older, the less I feel like going anywhere. I am not a plane person, so for me it would be very stressful. I live my life according to what I can afford.

Two things that keep me from enjoying my life, and they are "time" and "money". I like going to beautiful relaxing places in different countries for holidays and relaxation. I couldn't do that as often as I wish to. My job keeps me so busy all the year round, leaving very little time to relax. And, of course, when I do get some time, I don't have the financial means !

There are several things holding me back from enjoying life. One is my weight and depression and anxiety and two is the disrespect from my daughter and three, is the lack of funds and time, with working seven days a week.

Hey, we are facing the same situation. How much i hope I have the opportunity to travel around the world! But be realistic, I have a debt to pay, and still saving money for further education. Maybe travel abroad is too expensive for me, but it's okay sometimes to enjoy a short trip to near places. Or make a plan, go to two places a year! Start saving tomorrow, cut all the unnecessary cost. You are still young enough to see the world. Good luck~

Not enough money and have to work, work and work to gain more. Maybe we will be able to enjoy our lives after retirement hopefully.

Financial restraints and debt keeps me from enjoying my life too. I guess if you have money, all good things will follow. If you have money, you can have medical checkups and buy medicines for example. I know it, I've been there with enough money and in need now..
