When you get older, you feel like the days and weeks go by faster than ever, and I can only picture it getting much worse as I get even older.
While I have no major regrets, there are things I already will never be able to accomplish because I messed up, did not plan something as good as I should have or just was not aware of at the time. That is just all part of life, and I am sure we will all be fine in the end.
complete control over expenses is something that could work against you though.
True, though I'd take that over my parents giving me money and then giving me flack when I buy useless stuff like SEGA PC happy meal toys and Sewer Shark.
If my mother ever gave me shit for buying Sewer Shark, I'd pop her right in the Goddamn mouth. :x
