Do you have a life strategy? If so, what is it? Mine is to: 1. Go through life making enough money to pay the bills and buy some toys once in a while. I will not worship the dollar and spend my life chasing it. 2. Never let my children nor grandchild go hungry or without a roof over their heads. This will instill the importance of family to them so they will keep that value after I'm gone. 3. Treat everyone as a friend until they give me reason not to. Hate is a heavy burden to carry, the more you carry, the more it will bog you down. 4. Make a difference in the lives of people around me. Wealth is not measured by the amount of earthly goods you amass while you are here, but by how long and how fondly you are remembered after you are gone. 5. To stop and pay attention to my natural surroundings to learn or notice something new each time. God put many amazing things on this earth for us to enjoy, but too many people are to wrapped up in other things to stop and enjoy them.
First thing that comes to mind.... is to be a good provider, father, husband, and friend and not to die with a penny in my pocket! Life is to short and you can't take it with you! Enjoy everyday if it were my last! Work less and play more.
Actually, these two strategies seem similar in many ways. Just explained in more detail in one post. I'd agree with both and am still working on it.
Working hard to be the best Christian, husband, son, father, brother, friend, neighbor, carpenter I can be. That's all. Lol
I'm working harder/smarter now so that I can be retired by 45, not thinking about what to do for retirement at 45. That said, I'm holding off on speeding through life too fast in the traditional sense. I want to enjoy my 20s. Many my age are already married or looking hard into it as well as talking about kids. I hope to hold off til around 30 on kids. I want to see areas of the world and enjoy some experiences that would be difficult/impossible with kids. I want kids, but I want them when it is right. I never plan on living an extravagant life as far as material things go (luxury vehicles, expensive clothing, etc) but I don't want to live simply either. We are given the gift of life to enjoy it to the fullest while here, not get through it.
Waiting till 30 to get married and have kids is one of the best decisions you will ever make! My Dad always used to tell me that a man truly doesnt know what they want in life till at least 30. I waited and glad that I did! Course still not sure what I want lol but can guarantee if I'd have married or had kids in my 20's I'd have become another bad statistic.
