Sorry, no one gets it that easy lol. You have to live it and see where you end up twenty years later. Helps to have some kind of plan though, at least then you feel like you're working toward that ideal position. It doesn't change much either, even when you do get there. There are good things about being young, and being older. Just enjoy the journey and realise that once your youth has passed you'll probably wish you could get it back. Though having said that I consider myself pretty lucky in that I don't feel or look too much different now than I did in my twenties and there are definitely parts of being that age I don't miss.

Figure out where you want to be and start taking those steps now and you'll find yourself thinking life is pretty good as you slowly make progress.

That's the thing, man. I know what it is I want to do. Figuring out a cohesive plan and sticking to it is the hard part.
