Hello folks!

[Mugatti]

Hello everyone.

Below is a quick summary of my story. Please excuse my English, it's my second language.

- I'm 40, soon to be 41. Divorced ~6 years ago, no kids. Too old? Some would say probably, but I am used to late starts in my life and this doesn't really bother me much!

- I work for a large software company as a software engineering manager. I've been with this company for ~13 years! It pays relatively well. I have zero debt thanks to my salary. (But as you might guess, I don't want to sell my time anymore!)

- I have my own place, a one bedroom condo, my first "big" purchase. I got two small studio apartments in my home country that I rent out to students. Unfortunately, I also have "mid-life crisis car", a bimmer which I regret buying. All of these were purchased with cash.

- In fact, only time I was in debt was when I first moved to the US and got me a brand new Civic. Someone (who now I understand was very "scripted") convinced me to get a loan to "build my credit score". LOL! You can see that I don't like debt. Not sure if a positive or limiting quality of mine this one.

- Most people who know me think that I'm a success, while on the inside I'm not happy at all and feel like I'm failing in life. I think this is mainly due to not having any real control of my time.

- My relationship with my last girlfriend (which was the first serious one after my divorce) ended about 6 months ago, because I wasn't able to explain to her this at all. She wouldn't understand why I would worry. She lived paycheck to paycheck herself, and wouldn't understand why we weren't spending a ton on fancy restaurants and expensive vacations. Why I wouldn't buy a $1M house. Why I wouldn't get a fancier car (because according to her, I could afford it!)

- I'm currently reading Unscripted (at page 98) and I checked out some of the threads here.

- I hope I can stick around! I don't really do social media (never did facebook, quit snapchat last year, deleted twitter in January) or forums that much, but from what I can tell, there's a lot of really good information here, and I hope I can make use of it!

- I have some questions about my current project, but I should probably finish reading the book before asking them!

Thanks for reading and sorry for the long post!
