Upon seeing pics that EB posted of himself in this thread, I had thought that EB was an undergrad college student until he revealed that he was in his early thirties. You've got good genetics, EB.
Thanks. Though i'm closer to mid thirties.
I was getting the impression that many thought money is freely given to me. And that i'm some young, rich guy, who hasn't really worked for money. Nooooo. In my early twenties, i was young, confused, very insecure, and broke. Trying hard to fit in.
Awe, I apologize if I gave you that impression. That wasn't my intent. I didn't think that you had money given to you. I was just remarking in general, on how wonderful it was for you to have these opportunities at such a young age. Most people wait until retirement to travel, because of time constraints, kids, etc. The fact that you are able to do so now, even in your 30's, is a wonderful thing. My sister has been to Europe twice - once in her 30's and again in her 40's. She never had any kids and makes over $100,000 a year keeping the servers up and running for a major cell phone company. Her expenses are low, due to not having to raise kids so she has money to burn. You've never said whether or not you have children. I just assumed that you didn't because we never hear you mention them or see them in pictures.
I've never been out of the country except to Canada, when I was 30 and that was just for a weekend excursion. I have three kids at home and am always damn near broke. Traveling abroad is a pipe dream for me at this point in my life. Again, I apologize if it seemed like I was judging you.
