Who the heck are you guys?

38. Work for a Fortune 100. Married, no kids. Don't have a specific career path. In my opinion, the corporate world is simply too dynamic to make a long term plan and see it through. Big companies merge, get bought, outsource, etc. My only plan is to do what I can to stay ahead of the curve and try to move forward.

32, work for a large commercial insurance firm, have the same career path goals as Zod (i.e., don't consider any situation stable & live for the minute), single, renting a home in Sarasota, FL (basically gave up saving to do so, but an 11 mile daily rountrip excluding major highway time is a billion times better than an 80 mile daily rountrip on an incredibly dangerous highway, plus the quality of life is also a billion times better).

I'll still find ways to buy plenty of cd's and journey as many times as possible to as many metal festivals I can attend (best way to catch up with good friends and I've had some of the best times of my life at places like Heathen Crusade, BW/BK, ProgPower & Wacken). AsModEe, while it may not be your thing, all I can say is, I can't imagine life being as fulfilling without having all the amazing experiences I've had at one-off shows and major festivals. Too many great memories to count.

Well... let's see. This year we're going to Puerto Rico for a week, Chicago for five days, Europe for sixteen days (London, Amsterdam and Germany (Wacken)) and Atlanta for five days (ProgPower). Next year, probably Slovenia for a week (with a stop over in Prague) and two weeks in Hawaii, plus a few smaller trips, if all goes well. We go to nice restaurants whenever we please and our social calendar is as complex or as simple as we wish it to be. Our lives are our own and money isn't a concern. Oh yeah, we'll retire when we're 55 and spend the rest of our days in the Caribbean in flip flops, smoking Cuban cigars (<---well, I'll be smoking Cuban cigars, not the wife).
Any other questions?

Hey, I have a lot of respect for people who want to raise kids and do that whole propegating the species thing. I know some folks who have kids and couldn't be happier (JK for one). In the end, that's what it's about (whatever makes you happy). I also know a lot of folks, with kids, who look like they wish they had it to do all over again. Regardless, I'm always surprised when people look at us like we have two heads when we say we don't have or want kids. It's not as if we were offered "cake or death" and chose death.

My name is David and I'll be 20 in 8 days. I work in the Kitchen of a small fine dining restaurant. I make between $70 and $100 dollars a week and am going to a community college using money I inherited, but I took this semester off to look for a higher paying job.I live with my parents for the time being, until I land myself that higher paying job. This week was the first time I have but a paycheck in the bank in a long time. Most of my money goes to music, food and gas.
