IR?

You're doing that business with your right? Are you planning to expand that job or something in the next couple of years?
International Relations.


I'm currently doing business now with my father. We work together. I have other plans in my head but before attempting anything I have to wait for the market and economical situation to at least return back to normal.

    I'm afraid you'll wait a lot as I don't see the exit from this.

    Are you planning to get married any time soon?

    Yeah I know. There's nothing wrong with getting rich but some people are really obsessed with it.
    You become obsessed with it without even noticing.

    Having a family nowadays is pretty much costly. Having your house, having your kids sent to the best educational schools, your needs, your wife's needs, financing and helping both your parents when they become old etc.

    Before, life was cheap, now it's not. Therefore you have people obsessed with it and you can't blame them.

    Yep, raising a kid cost €300,000.

    My parents are going straight into a home though. :seven:

    I don't really blame them but I think it's some sort of sickness.

    You can do all that with a decent amount of money. The way you described it, it sounds like a pretty much perfect life. I see why would you want it though, many people would. But IMO it was always pricy, some things changed but it's always the same story.

    You're right. It will take time to get out of this economical crisis.


    I'll only marry when I see myself ready psychologically and most importantly financially. If I'm not fully secured financially then I can't make this step.

    I'm very realistic btw, If I want to have a family I want them to have the best of it.

    The ugliest thing in this world IMO is the need of people when you know they wont or can't help you.

    True.

    However, during your father's time or my father's time things were a lot easier before. Making money before was easier than nowadays. They weren't obsessed before and life didn't seem costly but now people are obsessed somehow.

    dusan i'm guessing u r at that stage we all go thru when u feel u r not accomplishing anything and you'd rather have a plan for the next coming 5 years coming yr way. well while its a good idea u need to be very realistic and if u accomplish 50% of those targets u should be very happy and satisfied bec sadly life never sticks to your plan :D

    as for me well in the next 5 years:

    1- graduate from pharmacy ( my ticket out of this night mare)
    2- head back to my parents and work for a pharmacutical company ( hopefully novartis!!)
    3- start saving up for a masters degree hopefully abroad ( preferably canada bec thats where i want to spend the rest of my adult life)
    4- make up for all the chances i missed out to travel to different places.
    5- being totally independent from my parents ( probably the toughest one after graduating pharmacy due to the close family ties in the arab world where a guy does'nt leave home unless its to another chicks house :D ) but will do my best and i have an understanding with my mum who calls the shots in the family ( oh yes she is Castro :D)


    marriage, getting a house, are not in the plans for the coming 5 years unless i meet the chick in my avatar then to hell with the plan :D:p
