    No, but I have a financial goal I'd like to hit before I get to 30. Highschool girls stay the same age, if that makes you feel any better.

    I'd like to, but my slower metabolism is not letting me.

    Wow, I don't know whether to be offended or just laugh at you guys.

    I turned 30 last October and even though I don't look a day over 22, as far as accomplishing stuff in life, don't waste the energy pondering where you AREN'T.

    Do your thing and stay happy as we are only here once. I do admit that I have started my third decade with alot of thought as to who I am and where I am in Life. The fact of the matter is, it doesn't matter. It is a great thing to have and set goals, yet even better to achieve them.

    The most successfull relationship I have ever been in has just ended. So now I am 30, need to start fresh all over again. I will be leaving our home with a computer, and a mountain bike. I don't even get to keep the dog I trained. As hard as life can be, there is only one way....forward.

    My main goal in life is to have as much fun as possible. (while making sound decisions) I have learned that getting caught up in the things that make you sad, mad or negative in general, only contribute to your demise earlier than need be.

    all I have to say to you is its never too late to make a push forward.

    I screwed around intil I was 27. I saw most of my friends leaving me in the dust.

    Once you get some focus (and hard work), it doesn't take long to see some positive growth.


    that siad...It sounds like to need to get out and explore the world a bit. If at 24 you are worried about aging, you don't have a very wide perspective.

    Well, all I can say is definitely have your fun before you become "responsible", once you get a real job, it's much harder to take off for 3-6 months at a time to see the world. Once you get a mortgage, you'll find working and saving are more priority. And once you have kids...say good bye to disposable income and free time!

    I figure there are really two periods in your life when you can be carefree, your 20's and retirement. You just have to decide when you want to have your fun. Obviously if you work through your 20's and conserve, you'll have a better retirement. The question is, will you enjoy a ferrari at age 65 more or livin it up in your mid 20's with chicks around the same?

    Haha...I only wish I was just 30, let alone 24.

    Of course I can't complain, the ladies still think I look 20 something.

    Age is just a state of mind. I am 37 when I look in the mirror I have a few more miles than I did when I was 20. But age is very unimportant, you can be successful at any age, with everything.... life, goals, financial, education. You just have to be persistant and go after your goals. Don't hold yourself back, don't let others hold you back.

    The best advice I ever heard was from Warren Buffet.

    I quote:

    You should select the right heroes and surround yourself around successful people. Smart people, confident people, etc.. It will eventually rub off on you.

    Sounds like you just need to change the way you think to give yourself some more motivation and inspiration in order to get more out of your life.

    24 is young. You have a lot of time to achieve success on all levels. To feel better right away, stop comparing yourself toothers. Instead of being jealous of why others have cars, houses, good careers etc. Ask yourself what is it that you aren't doing that they are? Ahhh...just go pick up a self help book.
