have to say, no 1/4 life crisis here. i pretty much knew what i wanted to do career wise since highschool. and i am pretty much doing it. done with grad school. might go back later on for another masters. married and own a house. not having kids any time soon but they are somewhere in the future. i guess the real reason why i am in the situation i am in is my obsessive-compulsive issues. my life has been planned out for quite some time now, of course with minor changes (for example, the groom that got to stand across from me at my wedding.... ehehe j/k).

After reading some of the replies I'm more appreciative that there is an amount of chaos and unpredictability in my major decisions right now.

im pretty much in the same boat.

im very content with where my life is. i have a great job, a great house, a great girl, i live in a great area, i have great friends, great family.

im not trying to gloat or anything....because i sympathize with people who are going through tough times, but dont let it get you down. things can always get better. i feel im where im at because ive worked hard for it. ive never really taken anything for granted, and ive never expected hand outs from anyone. ive certainly had rought moments in my life, but i never dwelled on them...i just moved on.

You know it's weird, I felt so much "older" 2 years ago than I do now. I guess I just started to realize that everything happens in its own timing and that is ok. I am just trying to enjoy each day. I am thinking more about stability and maybe buying a house in the next year or two..but that is all exciting to me and really doesn't freak me out. I am enjoying the change.

I can't say I have as many problems as other people here, since I have zero debt. I live rent-free too but that's because I still live with my parents since I can't afford my own place. I can't work enough hours to afford an apartment because my curriculum is structured so that I have to take 12 hours, and that plus the homework takes up too much time to hold a job. On top of that I often bitch about being single but I really have no idea what I'd do with a girlfriend if I had one. I worry that I'll never get married because I don't want kids and women can't shut off that damn biological clock long enough to realize what a pain in the ass kids are. I also feel like I pissed away 5 years of my life on a business degree I'll never use.
