    I’m engaged to my best friend, my future in laws are cool as hell, both my parents are alive and well, and my brothers and I get along really well. I’ve also got the cutest little nephew and hearing him laugh always makes my day. I might not make a ton of money, but I’ve got a damn good family and couldn’t be more thankful for them

      A solid, stable support system is a much bigger advantage than people give it credit for.

      Congratulations on your pending marriage!

    When I was in grade school we had a self-directed math program called Individually Prescribed Instruction or IPI. In the program you would take a pre-test and based on the results do a set of exercises. Then you took a post-test to close out that section. What I realized is that since the exercises are self directed we had unsupervised access to the exercises and the solutions. When given the pre-tests I would look up examples in the exercises with the solutions to figure out how to do the questions. I then proceeded to speed run the whole IPI curriculum. This gave me a leg up in math. I proceeded to get a 100% on my Algebra regents and just generally crush it in math. Ended up getting a uni degree in math and physics. This opened many doors for me later in life.

    My dad died back in 2016 when I was 25 so I got an early inheritance to invest at a good time.

        Facilities as in toilets?

        Nvm… That’s just what my dad says when he goes to the loo…

        Yes we have good public facilities, at least where I live. But on the other hand, I do live in one of the richest countries in the world, so would expect it to be good too.

    I don’t feel any part of me that itches to make posts like this on the internet, and I appreciate that advantage.

    I have known some wonderful people who have helped me to grow into a person I don’t entirely hate. Most of the time, I’m depressed, but I feel privileged to know people who remind me of things that are worth fighting for.

    I have relatively high intelligence, have a job that allows me to work at my own pace and combine it with study and other activities, I have good friends and a supportive, caring, active and housewifely partner, my mother is alive and well.

    Generally, a good set for a fulfilling life :)
