Completely feel that, during the early grinding stage in life, I desperately needed a timeline goal to know when the grind can end lol.

Based off the last 5 girls I talked to this weekend. We're aged 24-27
- $50K - Admin / Marketing at start up
- $60K - Highschool Teacher
- $70K - Senior in Logistics
- $75K - Recruiting/HR @ Big 5 bank
- $120K - Pharmacy + OT
- $110K - Senior Bus Analyst in a F500

Listing it out made me realize the guys make so much more. All but 1, their partners make 1.5-4x them as SMB owner, amazon, dropbox, IB, manager in big 4.

At my current stage with my SO, our HHI is close to $220K, but I think we'll hit 300K+ when we are 30. I have 0 desire to grow via employment anymore because I don't think I want $8K/month payments to upgrade to a TH or Duplex. As bad as it sounds, rather work less hours and wait for sweet inheritance.

I'd say keep it up but man it must be so hard with kids lol. I fell on and off when my work became less remote. My motivation these days are discipline, seeing improvement to my sports, and recently approval from new peers. I feel like it's a disservice to be tall and not reach the pinnacle of what my body is capable of at least once in my life.
