You won’t own a house at 40.

You won’t own a house at 40. Or a cabin by the lake. You won’t be a multi-millionaire. Most of the plans you had for life won’t have happened at 40. Sorry. You will be a working man, making ends meet, hamster on the rotating wheel. Some days you will look over at your best friend who owns a house and feel some form of lingering failure. But you will soon learn that it’s a race and some people have longer legs, some started earlier, some have bigger lungs and that some cheat in the race and take shortcuts. You will also learn that looking over the fence keeps you from looking at your own little triumphs. And they are many, these triumphs; you are healthy and free from disease, you have a lucid mind that is productive, you have a vocation that you are lucky for and you have lovely children who love you and (hopefully) like you and you have at least five people you can call when shit hits the fan and they will come to your aid. Most importantly, you are here. And you have internet. You still have so much fight in you left and if God gives you more years you will still keep your best foot forward. - Bikozulu

All I can say is life is a marathon not a sprint. Some sprint at 25yrs and gas out at 30yrs others 30yrs and gas out at 40yrs whereas others just cruise throughout the marathon from 30yrs till they tap out.

Waturedio doesn’t understand the message Biko Zulu is trying to pass. You cant keep peeping at your neighbour’s pace and forget you’re still in the race. Keep your focus on the issues that matter to you i.e family, health n sound mind. Others are buying multi million mansions with no functional families. In life it’s just you and the ones that depend on you and never ever try compare your well being to someone else’s.

A friend of mine died at 38yrs with a kid of 11yrs. When others are getting married at that age. It was so important for him to start early since his life was short. Listen to your heart, be attentive to your instinct and live your life. Owning a house isn’t as important as having a place to stay, where you can call home. Saving doesn’t automatically guarantee you will become rich but spending your money caressly is a sure way of dying a poor man.

It is the reality for most of the population, all you saying for yourself are probably among the lucky percentage that has succeeded.
Stay humble, the one who provided you an take it away the same way he gave you.

Excellent post.
