Made my bed, and now I must sleep in it.

Yes, it took courage and a level of maturity to state the problem.

Having said that.........
I have never been a poor man but, have never been rich either.
I learned very early in life that you can't live beyound your means otherwise, you will never be happy.

My biggest problem was not thinking ahead, not seeing the "big picture."

I have NEVER missed a single monthly payment on anything, cars or otherwise. The Lord has blessed me with steady jobs and with good health over the years, and I have always met my monthly obligations. I am still current on all of my bills.

I just didn't think about the fact that at some point in my life I would want to retire and would have to be able to live on a lower income.

The "future" gets here awfully fast, my friends, and we need to be prepared for it.

I would not advise anyone to sacrifice everything for the future, because we have to have a little fun along the way. We have to strike a balance, but I went too far in the direction of having fun today at the expense of future financial soundness.
