Not get married, not have kids, job hop, take a high paying job in a high cost area to later switch to a low cost area, focus more on healthy living. That's probably most of it.



You really wish you didn't get married and have kids? Or is that depression talking, which you might need to get some help with? Do you love your family? And do they love you back? Most likely yes and yes? ;)


I do regret having kids and getting married. I love my family. Love isn’t the issue. I would much prefer my freedom.


Apparently, many people feel that way. ;) What's that old saying about a marriage being "something everyone not in one wants to get into, and everyone in one wants to get out of". ;) Yeah, one does lose a lot of freedom particularly once kids arrive, but then, it seems totally worth it to me. I'd be bored and lonely without my lovely family that's for sure (despite some pretty full-on over-and-above and restrictive caring responsibilities). I hope you can be happy :) I see frustration with your life in your posts sometimes, and just hope that people on here are saying helpful and kind things.
