--- Quote from: pbj on June 12, 2015, 09:31:26 am ---I, for one, demand more stories of triumphantly defeating minor setbacks and inconveniences. --- End quote --- After I lost my job, got divorced, and gave up the nice house I designed myself all in the same month, I collected unemployment for two years while the state paid my tuition at a university. For a couple of the semesters I scheduled all my classes on Tuesday and Thursday so I only had to go two days a week. The rest of the time I did whatever the hell I wanted and it was glorious. I was 28, but looked 22 and was in the best shape of my life living in a college town. They always say "if I could go back to then knowing what I know now". Well, I did it...and I did....and I did as many as I could. I blew through 28k in savings and severance pay to maintain my lifestyle. Although school was paid for I took out a student loan and bought a motorcycle. I had many great trips on it during my "retirement". That is how I beat depression (for a few years anyway). |

I also maintained my family situation throughout so my college experience was decidedly less fun than yours...aaaaand I don't ride motorbikes. All that said I'm also not depressed and am happy with my life so #muthafookingwinningbishes |
