[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't come from money at all. But my 20s were still carefree and I saved up and traveled. I traveled on a shoestring budget. At one point, I traveled the world for a year on $12000. Backpacks, hostels, local ground transportation - one of the best years of my life.

That's the only thing I really miss about my 20s - I traveled the world basically for free. I studied abroad for a whole year and then got fellowships for two years after college and then did yet another internship abroad in graduate school. I had stipends the whole time which converted VERY well into local currency. It was great. Now, I still travel, but only once a year and that's stretching my budget/PTO.

But I'm in my early 30s and still as carefree and youthful as my 20s - even moreso, since I'm not so much an emotional basketcase & care less about what others think of me. And I'm neither rich nor do I love my job - I just don't let shit get to me. I'm healthy (and still skinny) and I love my friends and family and manage good work/life balance and live within my means. I check work stress at the door when I clock out. I still love to do the same goofy, silly things I did ten years ago. Except the college-style drinking and partying has been replaced with a casual glass of wine with good friends and neighbors and real conversation. My partner and I don't have kids, so there's that...[/quote]
