In my 40s:
- Bought a home last year, still not paid off.
- home isn’t far from the beach but, due to the previous tsunamis, there’s not much to do there near where I live.
- make more than 6 figures (but not in USD and not 6 figures in USD after conversion).
- I am the chef. And the gardener.
- Fuck tesla (I have a kei car (going somewhere with wife or buying farm supplies), motorcycle, and pedal-assist ebikes)

Almost through my 40’s and I’ve:
- Had three decent careers that each abruptly laid me off without warning.
- Had a home and lost it.
- Had a car and lost it.
- Had parents and siblings and lost them
- Had health and lost it.
- Had good credit and lost it.
- Had tens of thousands in savings and spent it on family members with cancer. (They died anyway.)
- Had a drinking problem and lost it, so hey score one!
