      I hope this is a wakeup call.

      I had this call when I turned 30, and spent a long couple of years to finally get my shit together. Im nearing 40, got a family, retirement fund and feeling like I see a finish line.

      My buddy is the same age, and he’s still living paycheck to paycheck with roommates and recently asked me what a IRA was. I’m pretty sure I’m his retirement.

        You can see the finish line at nearing 40? Man that’s a sad thought…what’s the point of life if you can see the end already?
