Between around 2000 and 2014 I was essentially doing 1.5 to 2 jobs for less than what I should've been paid for one. Used to joke that when I was only two weeks behind that meant I was actually on schedule.
I'm still feeling the aftershocks of that even now; though they're down to slight rumbles rather than earthquakes.
These days, there's so much I want to do that I have a hard time paring things down to what I need to do. And too often the jumble of this that or that other just causes a traffic jam in my brain and I turn off and don't focus on the essentials.
As they say, the struggle is real. I think I'm making progress, but . . . I've been wrong before. Plus side, you're working on figuring this stuff out a good decade or so before I started, so you've got a good sporting chance! :)
You're neighborhood sounds delightful. I hate the cookie-cutter sameness of subdivisions and HOAs. Give me color and life and individuality; not some freaking WASP wet dream of dreary beige sameness.
Hell yes to reaching a place with slight rumbles rather than earthquakes!
People talk about different seasons or chapters of life but I’ve always sort of thought of it like the tide instead. Or maybe a pendulum. Things come in waves and then ultimately course correct, back and forth.

For the most part anyway…
I guess we’ll keep finding out.
