I think holding a job and owning a car doesnt mean you have amounted to anything at all, you just described most of the Western civilization.
I'd like to think that amounting to something means more than that, thats just getting through life.
When your gone, will you be remembered for anything.
Our Prime Minister earns a paltry $350,000 a year, peanuts in the CEO world.
She'll be remembered in History long after Mercedes driving 9-5 ers are long gone. I bet very few people can name the guy that runs the bank you work for Trent, he probably earns $10,000,000 a year, yet everyone knows the PM, or Brendon Fevola, Jim Stynes.
Money and possesions sure as hell dont mean you have amounted to something, it just means you got a job. Just like your dad and grandad did. And your neighbour, and the guy who pays you. And the kid at Maccas you give your coin to.
Also $55,000 when you were 18, around 14 years ago, is worth over $250,000 now I reckon.
I hope to be remembered and to have influenced some people, good or bad, long after after I'm gone.
Just my 2 dracmas
I think what's missing here is kids. Once they come into the equation 3 days a week ain't going to cut it. That's if u want the best for them in life imo.they just rent, they both work 3 days.. they just drive a plain car, dont buy flashy expensive things just for show. they just live simply and have a great time doing it. they know they could double there income by working more and have more nicer things but there happiness with what they do is more important to them ... they work to live and be happy, not live to work
