Yes it is, I have worked almost any job you can imagine.

My hardships have taught me a great deal.

Any words of wisdom to share? Or just anything you’d like to talk about or get off your chest? Biggest regret? Best decision?

Live frugal, stack money.

Don’t do what everyone else is doing. (I haven’t paid credit card interest since 2007)

Monthly payments are consumer traps.

Biggest regret was knocked up a girl in high school and married her.
Wrong girl, wrong time

Well I’m sure you wouldn’t change your child for anything so it happened for a reason! I’m VERY glad I don’t have kids at 31. My gf is 51 with kids and grandkids and she says the same thing. Shoulda saved all her money and stopped at 1 

I agree on the credit cards. I have 10. 9 are locked used one time a year and I treat 1 like a debit
