With age comes responsibilities and with responsibilities come sacrifices. And as I grow older [and wiser I might add] I realize all of the sacrifices that I make whether knowingly or unknowingly. There are bills to be paid, students loans to be paid off, the essentials and necessities of everyday living and then some. Oh, and do not have a child or children, because the sacrifices increase 10-fold. The major thing I've noticed among my peers would be the sacrifice of face to face social lives. Many of us count meetings or the typical grab a bit to eat during lunch or after work as a social outing. We simply do not have the time between work, the gym, and running errands to do some of the things we used to do without some in depth planning. And the way most of our budgets and accounts are set up, forget the clubs, being in bed is really where it's at.
With the recent events in my life I find myself really focusing on paying off my student loans, saving for a car, and building my brand. My wallet is tighter than ever, my friend circle has now been formed into a triangle, and my living habits can probably be graded under what I experienced in college. That may seem shitty as hell, but it's the truth. I've somewhat become a hermit, but the increase in other things in my life is amazing I must admit. To be honest, ever now and then I may splurge a bit and eat out, hit a lounge or bar with associates, or even book a flight for a trip across the map. You have to treat yourself on occasion, but that comes after the sacrifices and progress has been made.
Have you noticed an increase or even decrease in the amount of sacrifices you have made whether you had to for an immediate reason or you've chosen to do so for a future goal? Feel free to share sacrifices and or tips you have gone through that has lead to success or lessons in adulthood.
