If I was younger, I'd join the Air Force, actually I would've done it long time ago, but now it's too late for that.
I expect to make "big" money at some point? sure, otherwise what's the point. Once I buy a house for my parents, I can live a really simple life with a decent salary. But right now I sure have to pay bills, and I'm single, so just my income. But like me, a few million people out there so it is what it is.
