I'm in this picture and I don't like it.

I hope this is a wakeup call.

I had this call when I turned 30, and spent a long couple of years to finally get my shit together. Im nearing 40, got a family, retirement fund and feeling like I see a finish line.

My buddy is the same age, and he's still living paycheck to paycheck with roommates and recently asked me what a IRA was. I'm pretty sure I'm his retirement.

You can see the finish line at nearing 40? Man that's a sad thought....what's the point of life if you can see the end already?

It only seems sad without comprehension, reading - specifically.
