I grew up watching TV, movies, cartoons, & playing video games.

I want to keep doing all that stuff into adulthood, while maintaining my own, safe home.
I also want to find and be with that special someone forever, and do stuff together.
I also love cars, and want a collection of a few fun cars to drive, work on, & race.

To do all these things, I need to:
- Make a good living (already started a career)
- take care of my health (already eat well, just need to start physical activity)
- be more social to meet people (already joining recreational group classes)
- Take care of my finances (minimal debt, living somewhat frugal to save $$ already, but I could do better)

I have some fundamental rules to keep on track with my financial & health goals, & stay happy:
- Make the choice that makes for a good story; Make the choice that future-you WON'T regret!
- Plan ahead, but go with the flow when things go wrong, because things go wrong!
- Get people to like you, spread positivity in order for everyone to want to help you.
- Don't get married
- Don't have kids (at least not too early)
- Be with the person that makes YOU feel good about YOURSELF. That's the one.
- Stay connected with friends. It takes work, but reach out because people like being remembered.

If I were to achieve all the things I want, get a house, get my cars, have a lovely girlfriend, have solid finances & health, then I would just keep going. The key to life is to always have something to look forward to just keep working for it, and trying new things and solving problems. I'll just continue to do stuff, because there's always stuff to do to keep your mind occupied. Don't get bored with life. Find something.
