I've been happily married for over 23 years to a woman I still call my best friend. I have a nice house with a mortgage payment so low it's lower than most car payments. I have two healthy adult kids who still love me. I have a career that I've had for over 20 years and will retire in about ten with a decent pension. I'm a weapons instructor with free access to a gun range and ammunition. My cars are all paid for. I get to do whatever I want, whenever I want. I may not be the best, but I'm happier than most.
