Reply #6: Things are really, really tough for a lot of us right now [View All]

I'm stuck in the worst job in America (at least, until I find
another one) but I feel almost lucky compared to my friends and
family members who are unemployed in every corner of the country.
You sure have a number of problems at the moment, but you're
still very young! I **WISH** I were 31 again! There's a hell of
a lot of living ahead of you, and you should try to stop thinking
in terms of numbers and just be, and try to become what you want.
My impression is that a great many people are barely treading
water right now. Take your mind off your other issues and focus
on addressing just one. And drop that silly fixation on age! Once
a person reaches maturity, there's little point in counting
anymore anyway.
If I were you, I'd turn my attention to that kid. Just my two
cents' worth.
