I'm 33 and I'm getting there. I have a house, a lovely wife, two kids, one car (don't need a second).
The career is finally coming along since 2 years ago. Which is something I'm particularly happy with. I was on the verge of depression because of my shitty job. I worked very hard to change careers and I'm very proud of that. The livable wage is livable, but that's about it. The future looks financially birght though.
I have to say that I am very lucky with my parents. I've never had to hit absolute rock bottom, because my family was always there for me.
As for the house and the family, it is not something I consider "the life". The house is shared with my parents and was build by my great gandfather. It's a fantastic house, all things considered, but it's also a birth privilige, so I can't say It's something to brag about. Before I moved back here, I had bougt a small one family home in a small border town with the wife and kids and before that a small appartment with only the wife. The family is just the way I like it. It is also not something I care to brag about or even share about. It just my family and I love them and that is enough.
So basically I'm all about the new and rising career change these days. I also don't care much for how others live or what they think about my life. I just try to live my life the way I (and mine) like it best.
