And yes - I think that it's all a part of life evolution - at this stage in the game, we're all hustling, we're all trying to MAKE SOMETHING of ourselves, we're all trying to get ahead, which is what it is, but is also what leads to so many Gen Y folk focusing on competing and hoarding information for themselves. Once you hit a certain point in your life (and this is why I tend to associate with people older than I am) - you've "made it" so to speak, or at least enough so that you can focus more on just doing what YOU do and being successful with that, rather than focusing on what the rest of the world is doing. We're all going to be successful in our own ways, there's no sense of becoming successful at the expense of others...but again, I think it's just a part of the transition we go through in our twenties.

In (many) cases - this is the impression I'm getting - Not that you should do what YOU want and follow YOUR passions, but that you should follow in the path of other "Location Independents" out there who are traveling the world and living out of a suitcase. I'm sure it's great and all, but it's not for everyone - and that's the mantra many have to break - that by living a more traditional life, you're not "settling" or selling yourself short.

As you said, things are going to improve, we're going to "make it" to wherever we want to be in life with hard work. Sure we'll stumble and fall plenty of times, but we'll get what we want if we keep picking ourself up and trying that much harder the next go around. That, and yes, we all could stand to ENJOY life a little more often. That is, after the all, the whole point of living...

remember you’ve got ideas and energy, and enough time to take risks. the old bastards may say “no” to you re: $$ , but NEVER let them take away your passion or belief in yourself. guard that with your life. and you will succeed.
