I've got a few friends like this, and I wouldn't trade them for the world. I'd also never betray their trust intentionally.

It's incredible to have people who will be there for you like that, and if you open yourself up to no one, you will never have that, or at least you'll take it for granted.

True, you're less likely to be hurt or betrayed if you keep everyone at a distance. But I wouldn't want to go through life like that. It's your philosophy, and if it suits you, then I'm happy for you. But it won't suit everyone. I wouldn't want to live my life like that. Not saying my way is better, just different.

. Better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all. The pragmatism of, "I'll go it alone" sounds fine, but in practice, won't work for most. Without trust, you will limited in life. Mountain climbing, camping, hunting are safer with a buddy. Even hold the ladder requires trust.

Keeping your finances separate, as above, is excellent advise.

It's like that movie, Whatever Works lol In the end, as long as you're happy with how you live your life, then that's all that matters. Life is too short to waste it on people that don't deserve your time and also on cars that suck lol

I'm the kind of person that values friendship and I think having a partner in life that you trust and that deep down truly cares about you is better than being alone. That may be tough to find these days but I think it's out there. Even then I think you always need to have an exit strategy in case things don't work out as planned.

One thing's for sure, no one's ever going to take away my car lol Eff that

Did the love thing when I was younger and dumber, back in highschool and early on in college. Got it out of my system and ready to get down to the business of being successful.

I mean fully trust. I trust people to different degrees.

I have some very good, very close friends, for example, but I wouldn't trust ANY of them to drive my car. However, I have no problem handing them a firearm at the range. I know you may think that is backwards, but I trust that they are not prone to shooting me as much as they are prone to giving the car a little gas in a corner when noone is around if I let them borrow it. They are all good people, but sometimes temptation and all that...

Im 31...
and I was doing pretty good at 22, I was actually making about 45k a year... and cost of living was low where I was..

I am more accomplished NOW in the sense that Im doing something I am proud of, and enjoy. oh, and I have a Nismo lol

:edit: it's not about being less accomplished, its more about being less responsible... maybe... I had less worries back then..

I understand the less worries part. Sortof. However, when I was 22 I was broke, in college, and worried about how I was going to make rent. So we were in 2 different places.

When I am 31, I hope to have purchased or built a home, and found a place I want to settle down, and be about my business. Right now I live comfortably and want for nothing, but I don't have a home. I live in an appartment in a town I hate, but ironically work at a place I totally love and have an awesome boss. That really frustrates me to no end. I want a good environment AND a good work place.

25 and can't wait for 35? I am also 25 but I honestly don't want to get any older, LOL! I dread the day when I am 35.

I myself just put off the whole dating/relationship game and wanted to become financially stable before trying to find someone. I finally got a house and my 370z and am finally in a good position but now I find myself making every little excuse to not date... I need to try to find someone before I run out of time, LOL.

As for the car thing I think a beater might be a good idea but reliability can always be a problem.

Before my 370z I leased a non-turbo Subaru Impreza (2006) for around $200/month. It was severely lacking in power compared to the 370Z but it actually handles very well for a 15-16k car.

I ended up just buying it at the end of the lease and my dad bought half of it and its kind of both of our 'spare' car and it is stored in his garage. Its not a bad car. When my dad's 350z had engine failure he was using my subaru and was pretty happy with its performance (it has decent power and handles well). Its no comparison to the Versa that my sister drives.

i'm in the same boat as this though i'm 21 and the house is scheduled for 25 glad to see i'm not the only one doing it although you do get lonely sometimes

I used to think "oh, when I make money/have stuff, I will date".

Now that I kindof do, I want to date even less. I've "made it" through the worst part of life (excluding end-stage), and now I feel like I deserve to enjoy myself and kick back and focus on my career and what it has allowed me to get for myself.

Run out of time? I'm not worried about it. I don't need anyone to muck life up. All my co-workers keep trying to get me interested in these girls they know, etc. etc., and it just looks like a recipe for failure.

If any tucker-maxisms occur, I will be sure to post it in OT, though, lmao

That's what friends are for. Grab a movie, go to the range, cruise around, just hang out at the house. You don't need a relationship to not be lonely. Why does everyone seem to think if you don't have an SO, you are automatically lonely? Hell, I bought a cat for those times at 3am when I am bored and noone is awake. I continue to post on this forum even though I bought a 'vette. It's entertaining and lot of cool members here (even the guy with a mustang : P ).

To paraphrase " The Who" I hope I die before I grow up. Dude , I'm 54 and having the time of my life, don't worry about the number.My Z helps me to remember that " ...believe it or not, there's life after high school-Hall and Oates-
