Today is my 27th birthday. My new focus on my finances has been making me think about my long-term goals. I'm not where I thought I would be at 27. I was expecting to be at the point where I was financially secure. I never imagined I'd go to grad school and end up with so much educational debt. I also thought I'd be close to the point where I could afford kids. I'm so nowhere near that point. It's kind of scary. I'm really going to need to figure out how to get some extra income coming in. If I could do that, I would put it all into savings and investments. It's just a question of how. I'll be making $3,000 more a year at my new job, but I'll also have expenses I don't have at this job. I'll have to pay my own health insurance premiums, for one (my current agency pays employee premiums). A second job may be a possibility, but I at least have to get settled with the new job first - I don't want to overload myself.
Eh, quarter-life crises suck.

I am ten days older than you are! Happy Birthday!
Happy Birthday! I know what you mean - I'm 28 and that seems so old to me - I thought I'd be married, have a big house and a kid by now. Nope nope and definitely nope. Just be thankful for everything you have achieved and enjoy!
