God damn I need to stop having roommates/sharing a place soon I'm too old for that shit.

Shit, I'm 26. Married. Own a condo (well...own a mortgage on a condo). Own my car outright (2008 focus in the house). Just bought an expedit for my records. Got a great job and no debt.

While I do miss days of staying out until 3am and waking up five minutes before class, then sitting through class in a bathrobe, I'm much better off now.
