I don't just expect to be living the high life. At this point, I don't have a realistic plan or idea to exponentially increase my quality of life. Everyone expects that one day something will happen that will make them able to live their dreams but the reality is significant upward movement in society is rare.

Happiness is relative. Sure, I might find walking around the park and feeding birds to be a hoot when I'm older but some how I think I'll look back on all the crazy crap I did in my 20's and 30's and know that I had a lot more fun then, so I'm going to take my chances and enjoy my youth to its full potential, even if it costs my 10 years in my late 70's and 80's.

(Just want to highlight, moderation is key again. Don't want to die when I'm 40).
