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!

Yeah, I got laid off multiple times, lived out of my car, and have a bunch of health problems. The drinking problems also came because of the former (and mental healthcare in the US) and caused/worsened some of the former. Hang in there!
