Not training, that can be part of it, but what else?
I want the whole shebang, big house, fast cars a familly, money in the bank,but with the family i want the marrige to be happy and the kids to think i rule! Having kids is easy ( i live in the west midlands ive seen the single mums :) ) being a good father isnt, thats gonna be a challenge, Memo to self " dont be like my dad" (he is a to55er we havnt spoke in many moons)
SO far i have a small house, a average car and a wife so im on my way, but its taken me 27 years to get here, id better get my skates on if im to get that 6litre audi A8 (£72000+ extras!)

Well, on the pratical side I'm only after health, wealth, and happiness for myself and my family. Definitely, like some kids one day too. I'd also like them to think that i rule.
On the not-so practical side, I want enough money to live in a 4 Br brownstone on the Upper West Side of Manhattan complete with my own study (for internet porn, music, and cigar smoking) that no one else is allowed in, my own home gym, and a sick home theater. In addition, I want to have an old school hotrod (any american model from the 50's, 60's, or maybe even the 70's will do) and a truck, both kept in the basement of my multi-million $$ townhouse.
Beyond that, I simply want to be able to travel the world to get more tattoos and about 5 more Norwegian Elkhounds.
When I was in college I got married. My wife and I wanted a huge house, lots of toys, and every oppertunity available for our kids.
I got very lucky and landed a great job making double what I thought I would. We have a huge house, lots of toys, and our son is starting life better than I did.
All of this comes at a cost. The cost is the amount of hours I work.
What I want from life is more time for my family. All the things in my garage don't do me much good when I am here at work 12 hours a day.
Be carefull what you wish for, you just might get it.
I re-read my post, sounds like I'm having a pity party. I didn't mean for it to.
I just think people should spend more time being thankfull for what they have and not wishing for what they do not.

I hope your home cinema get well Blacklab :D
To be content with a job that I enjoy, stay healthy and injury free, have a good home life, be secure financially and find the love of a good womanmy ultimate goal would be to beat my clinical depression and never go down the path of self-destruction ever again
quite humble goals but very hard to achieve in this day and age
