Does anyone have time to socialize anymore? Between working 50 hour weeks and raising two kids and balancing all of their activities, I can't tell you the last time I spoke to a friend outside of the office much less grab lunch or something.

I haven't had a social life in over 10 years. Someday I hope to to make some friends and get out a little more, but that's not in the cards for me anytime soon

This is why I took a 50% pay cut now that my kids are grown. Lunch date today, and girlfriend weekend for Mom Prom on my birthday this weekend. It’s only a 30% take home cut because my last 50% was taxed so highly federal, state, OASDI, Medicare, convenience spending to survive, etc.
