Exceeded all my expectations. Thought I would be an incel, living in an apartment, making $50k, overweight, and playing video games all day.
I'm married with a kid and a house. In better shape than just about everyone I know and make over $100k. I also work a lot of hours and don't have a lot of free time to relax, spend time with friends, or pursue hobbies, but no one leads a perfect life.

Yeah I've had an amazing career, beautiful teen and I continued to play tennis after college. I had a ton of fun with my daughter when she was young and now I'm having fun at NFL games and with my adventure club.
Make It a Great Day! Just call me Dusty. It's a Clown 🤡 World out there.

Yes, and then some.
At the same time, if you asked me at 30 if I'm where I thought I would be at 40, I would have laughed and not believed it.
I started drinking heavy duty OJ around 31 years old, and it really screwed me up mentally. It caused me a combination of severe anxiety and an overwhelming urge to improve myself at the same time.
That led me to break up with my girlfriend, sell my house, and move to Colombia to learn Spanish and figure out the next chapter of my life. ded fkn srs.
Fast forward 7 years, I'm married, stable job, two kids, and doing ok but life is really hard. There is very little free time to do anything and I really feel trapped. I have made some really stupid decisions regarding finances(horrible investments in real estate) that I seriously regret, and am currently working through getting out of it.
TL;DR I thought life would be easier during your 30s. Life just seems to get more complicated as you get older.Misc Entrepreneur Crew

I thought I’d be retired by now, focusing on hobbies, dating around, and collecting cars. I didn’t get that stuff, but what I do have is a better understanding of what I value.
I've been seeing the past in one eye and the present in the other. So, I thought I could only see patches of reality, never the whole picture. I felt like I was watching a dream I could never wake up from. Before I knew it, the dream was over.

Doing so much better than teenaged me could’ve hoped for. Teenage me was looking forward to being a washed up junior hockey player working the rigs. Did that for a few years and smartened up
Now I’ve got a beautiful wife and home, amazing, healthy and smart kids and a job that pays enough that I’m not struggling and I çan give my kids the life I didn’t get growing up*Onterrible crew*
