What's yalls goals for the year? Mine is, work, get money, catch another yote, and get me a girl  As some have alluded to, when your goals are in competition with each other, its hard to get them done. The secret to achieving your goals is figuring out how to align them with each other. So... There's some young girls on this board who are into trapping. If you catch one of them, she'll help you catch the yote, which might leave you with enough time to work & get money. oh, and also +1 on the suggestion to keep God first.

PF you need to work more. According to your post basically you're telling him to not be like you which I'd agree with. You're an unhappy guy who does little other than work and at a job you probably don't care for. Sounds like you have good kids and a wife who's basically a saint. IMO your post proves she could do better. After you keel over or pass on she most likely will. So keep that life insurance paid up and the retirement maxed out for her, she's earned it. There's no doubt about that.
I do agree with saving for retirement and maxing out your retirement contributions. It's also obvious to pick the right woman who has similar interests but also let her have some freedom to do things she wants to do. It's rare in my experience when two people who are jammed up each others butts that a relationship lasts. It happens but not that often. Don't get hung up on the girl thing either. It's the least of your concerns trust me on that. If they ever want to play head games run don't walk away.
To the OP I agree with the ones on here that tell you to try different things as far as jobs go. When you find one you like you'll know. What you like right now or in the next few years may not be what you're going to be doing when you're 25, 30 or even 40. Learn as much as you can. If your interested you can look at the military. I honestly wish I'd have done that. It's an option that you can look into. They have great training programs and many make a career out of it.
Also and this is important too. Learn to spot a dead end job. The ones that don't pay that well and have little advancement in pay, benefits or enjoyment. Always keep looking if you find yourself in one and don't be afraid to take a chance and try something else. Weigh your options don't make rash decisions. I'm not telling you to become a job hopper, not in any way but also don't be a doormat. You will make mistakes in life and in choices we all have.
I'm thinking most of us here would love to know then what we know now. Good luck kid. Your wrong badger. My money is she won’t wait until he keels over. Read the tea leaves

Yote....what did he say ? Did not feel like reading a novel ... I agree with trapdog that you just gotta read it. But basically that his wife is washed up and past her prime while he's just getting to his prime and that she's not allowed to speak to a male other than him and his sons. For starters....

I started reading it a little, skimmed a few words after and could clearly see it was all stupid hogwash.

If we're giving a young fella unsolicited relationship advice..
1) most people get the relationships they deserve. Your default assumption should be to ignore the explanations people give for their failed relationships and assume they earned it. 2) NEVER take relationship advice from someone who isn't extremely happy with their spouse Trusting the advice of someone unhappy with their spouse is like taking investment advice from someone who's bankrupt. Sure they'll know there's problems, but its doubtful they understand their role in it. They'll teach you to make excuses and explanations instead of teaching how to succeed. 3) you should have extremely high standards for anyone you'd consider dating. 4) anyone you'd consider dating should have extremely high standards for you. 5) if you don't abide by #3 or #4, you're going to have bad relationships, as you deserve (see #1) 6) when you marry is not nearly as important as who you marry. Like, not even close.
I got married at 19 (wife was 18). That was 27 years ago. It was the best personal, spiritual, and financial decision I've ever made.

Thanks. I started reading it a little, skimmed a few words after and could clearly see it was all stupid hogwash. [/quote] Haha, same here….. In the end we probably all just got a bit of wolf in us. Priorities being breeding, food & territory, but not always in that order…but life will generally revolve around those 3….its in our DNA…lol
