I was 2 years into my marriage, things were good, living in the first house I bought, that was cool.

Honestly in retrospect, I didn't know much about life back then, I was optomistic but had no idea what the future would hold. In a lot of ways I'm happier now, but not optomistic anymore, it's more like strategic about my future. I miss being optomistic and thinking things would work out. Now I don't think anything will work out unless I make it work out.

That makes me feel hopeful, how old are you now to not be optimistic ?

Life makes plans for you you never would have expected.

I'm 51, don't get me wrong I'm still excited about my future, but I don't believe the second half of your post, life doesn't make plans for you, you need to make the plans yourself. If you float along and see what life has in store for you, you will miss your opportunity to make your path. I didn't get that at 29, like a little but not really.

I think it’s half and half. Yes you make plans,
But also life makes plans for you. To be fair, at 51 you could live till 91 and that is another 40 years of life

Again? I'm 29 right now.

It's a good age though. The thought of turning 30 makes me sick to my stomach (srs). Even though not much will change, it feels massive.

We’re in this together

It’s a cold, bleak looking future. I got your back, hopefully you got mine.

29 was a good year for me. Finally made decent scratch to do things, lived with my wife and we had a strong network of friends still. We moved a couple years later so its been less friends but overall still dope.

Life has no plans for me that are good bro.

I have one exception, when I was 29, I had a horrible job at a hospital in their finance team, I just wanted out desperately. I was ready to take a job as an assistant controller at some art supply company, and the ceo was a jew, he mocked me in the interview for going to Notre Dame because it's a Catholic School. "Oh how the mighty have fallen, now you want a job from me". I took the other job at some weird healthcare company because the cfo went to Northwestern and the controller went to University of Chicago and I wanted to go to one of those to grad schools so having a recommendation from an alumni was important. Ended up going to Booth and it made my career.

If I want good shit in my life I need to go get it.

I would not be happy being 29 in 2026, however being 29 again in the 90's would be a different story.

Are we talking about time travel or just regaining youth?
