18 and I feel much older. Paying for college without parental help has stressed me out. Not to mention on constantly seeing kids blow their parents money on food, clothes, ect. makes me jealous. Hell, half these kids would be homeless if their parents said, "You're on your own." Oh ya also wondering if I'll be able to get job after college due to the economic state. The glories of adulthood!

I've experienced that living on a low budget can have great value in later life on multiple levels. Makes you appreciate the situation once you're better off. Plus being able to economise is a good trait to have. You see things different from others who were silverspoon fed.

Yeah I definitely agree. I enjoy living on my own much more than when I lived at home. Way more fun and much more freedom. However, the stress level definitely goes up and now I have to worry about financials, ect. Thank god for financial aid though!

This is a great point. Personally, I've been a little lucky in life for various reasons, but this reminds me of something I heard about being rich. It's pretty basic, really, but I think it's good to know that there are two ways of being rich: getting more money and spending less money. I guess there could be combinations of those two factors, but I think it's useful to know. In particular, it's easy to get stuck on always wanting to get more money, but I'm not sure if attention is always paid to spending less money.

I think this applies to happiness and satisfaction in life, too. You can want more good things to happen to you, or you can learn to be satisfied with your situation.

I feel that this is why ascetic people can have some happiness from abstaining from the pleasures of life. It's kind of interesting.

If "Boris == young" is true, then I suppose the dialog could be translated as:

OP: How old are you?
Boris: i am young.

Conversely, if "Boris == old" is true, then you could translate as:

OP: How old are you?
Boris: i am old.

---

For the sake of this posting, let's suppose that "Kirby == (bored && trolling)" is true.

I am Kirby.

57.
My wife is 16 years younger than me, 41.
We look younger, don't we?

Both of us feel like highschool lovers.

As I learned how to play go at the age of 6, amazingly half a century has already passed, without really making me very strong.
But I love go very much.
I love go-loving people very much and I enjoy talking with them, preferably on the net.

No need to feel embarrassed. Go is a game that connects people(s) and generations. Whenever I play at tournaments I see children from age around 6 up to pensioners in their 70s. My children are in your age and they play go, too.
