Which phase of life are you at right now?

[Hollow]

I think I'm in that phase where I know that each decision I take right now will effect my life in a big way. All the wrong decisions I take now will become my regrets when I'm 35-40+

 

[niky]

Then don't hesitate. Just do it.

Those memories I look fondly back on are those where I took a chance, did something I wanted to do. Whether I failed or succeeded, those opportunities taken still remain fondly in my memory.

Beware, however... if we're talking business or occupational opportunities, you should focus and make sure that whatever you've started, you finish. It's more sensible than flying off leaving one half-done or half-realized and taking another one.

I'm at the point where I'm still taking risks, doing new things, and trying to build myself a life. It's a shorter one ahead, now that I'm 35, but I still have some fifty productive years left.

 

[Omnis]

I'm in the pupa stage.

/Harden.

 

[Eric Demory]

Things I say, will turn into a laughing matter with the immature ones. Screw that for a laugh. Anything you say, can quickly turn sideways. My life is different sadly. My stage: The Great Depression of '10. As of the edge of fourteen.

 

[Reims_]

I'm in the "Holy crap I have to think of something fast" era. Very similar to yours, Hollowxeyes.

Don't worry.
By 2012 it should all end with a bang.

 

[Keef]

I'm in exactly the same stage I was four years ago after I graduated highschool, starting college to get skills for life and career. Not that the last four years have been wasted, they were spent learning things about life that many college kids don't learn until they've spent those years out of school. I'm not sure who did it backwards but eventually I'll be in a good place, I hope.

 

[Speedy Samurai]

Regret. That's a stage right?

 

[Hollow]

I can think of something fast.. A Ferrari 458

Jking.. Well the only thing I find difficult right now is the fact that I have way too many options infront of me. Each leads to a different life and future. What most people are able to do is to narrow down their choices to one or two that they are happy with. I'm not able to do that for some reason.

 

[Rykon Zero]

I am in the stage of infinite potential. I am smart enough to do anything in the world, and I am at the crossroads to do choose the life I lead. I already know exactly what I am going to do, and I will have regret only that I couldn't help humanity more. My life, right now, is just fine. The life I see ahead of me... Perfect. I don't have to worry about making the right decision, because I know I'm making the right one. It's nice having the satisfaction that my life will go well.

 

[lbsf1]

I'm in the stage of life where I'm a rebelious teen and my life revolves on the point of whether I take life seriously or not now.

 

[nk4e]

I am in a stage where everything I that did work for comes out and I have to work hard for it.

 

[Steele_obsidion]

Myseld? Im at that stage where i got married plan on having children after school is done, but for now just need ot find a better job so i can actually AFFORD rent AND the BMW 3 series that i plan to buy sometime soon.

 

[Eric Demory]

You believe in that 🤬?!

 

[Mark T]

I'm 27 and I'm at the stage where I know I have to change my career to be happy in the future. I've been working in the same industry for 7 years and I'm no longer happy doing it. Hopefully in the next year I will see significant change in my career.

 

[Sureboss]

I'm at a stage where I'm going to go through some big changes, moving away from home, starting a career and in a few months getting a car. Can't say I really feel the pressure of it, if a choice I make doesn't work out, so be it. Why fret over choices? I back myself enough that any choice I do make will have been made with lots of thought. In the lucky position of being able to go back to another industry, or indeed combine two industries is quite lucky. I think at any stage of life it's just about thinking things through, you will make the right decision if you do so.

 

[Vince_Fiero]

First midlife crisis, that is why I hang out with younger people on

this actually means, I regret never to have done ????
what the heck, I go for it now!

 

[LizMcQueen]

I'm 27, I'm in a stage where I have everything, and right now I'm thinking about having a mini-me.

Kids plain R.O.C.K.. Nothing beats the feeling of having a kid.

 

[Aldo]

I'm at the stage where I have to think about what I want to do at uni but have no idea of what I want to actually do... Decision time is around October.
Also, I am working my butt off. School from 8:30 - 3:40 then I coach tennis from 4-6 which just leaves me feeling knackered. Then there is homework.
FML comes to mind...

 

[NLxAROSA]

Make that 45-50, and it's called midlife crisis, and it's normal: no matter what decisions you made, you will regret them.

But in the end you will not regret what you did, only what you neglected. So, do as niky says: just do it.

I'm 27, I'm in a stage where I have everything, and right now I'm thinking about having a mini-me.

Having kids is marvellous, and it's like looking in a mirror (not just looks ), they teach you more than you teach them.

Currently, I'm in a phase where I feel like I can take on the world, no matter what. Having two kids, a nice wife, and my own company has made me realise I am truly free. 👍

 

[Neal]

Sounds like a good place to be Liz

So true...I have heard it can sting a bit though

My advice for Uni would be to choose a subject you enjoy and find interesting, it's a long time to stay motivated doing something you couldn't care less about.

EDIT: My phase would be busy with a young family and looking forward to it multiplying. Better job would be good but current one is fine for now.

 

[Duke]

I'm entering the phase where my kids are entering self-sufficiency phase and the first one is about to go off to college, so I'm starting to do some of those things I had to put off for having kids. Although I look forward to less direct 24/7 responsibility for their wellbeing, I'm also starting to miss the interaction already.

On the upside, I seem to be getting an early start on my midlife crisis. Details to follow elsewhere.

 

[Sage]

Well, this month alone I moved to a new apartment, I’ll be finishing school next week, my parents cut all financial ties with me, I quit my undergrad lab work and my part-time biomedical marketing job, and I started my first salaried job (chemist at a nanotech company). So, um, yeah, that stage.

 

[Detroitbb]

Not sure what stage I'm currently in... maybe the 'I'm Ready For My Third International Move' stage. Or the 'My Son Is In 10th Grade And I Would Like Some More Kids Soon' stage.

Mostly though, I think the stage that most accurately fits for me is this: "I'm Sick Of Waiting For GT5"

 

[Small_Fryz]

Im in the phase where I'm setting myself up for my mid - late 20's which hopefully guarantee's a great 30's and beyond. Ive worked/working hard now to get a good start to life so I can do all the things I want to be able to do. That being said I still make sure I have a nice balance between work and play.

Almost identical here.

It already feels hectic, I feel the load I took was too much. French, Algebra, Honors English and Swim Class. I've got a fun life.
Except, now that I've seen my new High School, I feel I could make or break myself. I know I can be anything and I will. And I've got my motivation.

Don't worry Dad, you're about to look down and feel proud.

 

[Slick Rick]

Just graduated, should be looking for a real job kinda scared to do so and start real working life, not ready to leave further education yet. Content to work my part time job and be poor..... :/

 

[niky]

So true...I have heard it can sting a bit though

Drive kid to school, buy gas. Pick up kid from school, buy gas. Go to pediatrician, buy gas. Bring kid to grandparents, buy gas.

Of course, it's a character building exercise. If you can change a diaper full of poop with your bare hands, you can do anything. I don't miss doing it, though.

 

[Vince_Fiero]

Don't worry Dad, you're about to look down and feel proud.

I understood the age category was 13-14 years old, for me my dad had to look up at that age. Recent I admit, but still he had to look up.
I actually stopped growing at 14,5.
