I've pretty much given up hoping for a career as a millionaire playboy. I don't think I can stay up that late any more.
My past is littered with goals derailed by finances -- books I never wrote, adventures not pursued, opportunities backburnered, relationships . . . Like the song says, "Life got in the way."
What I don't have is a lot of regrets. We make our choices based on our circumstances; then we make the best of those choices. Nobody can have it all, do it all, be it all. Such really is life.
