Hardest Things In Life

One of the hardest things in life is having to face the truth of reality. We often dream of the perfect world and perfect life that we'd all like to live. But life is not as simple as a dream that we can all just wake up from. It's a path that we must all walk. We often have aspirations of what our lives will be like 5, 10 or even 20 years down the road, but what good is that when we can't even get past a year without asking ourselves the question of how probable our expectations are. Plans are really a great tool, mentally but not on paper. So I was doing my financial play. I'm supposed to plan my entire life, making assumptions along the way. So I got to the part that I'm supposed to plan when I'm going to get married. I think to myself, I don't really know and can't really say when I'm currently single. Then, I have to plan my retirement. Of course, the logical answer is as early as possible but the question that follow is will I have enough. There are just too many factors out there that may deter a plan that planning for the distant future may become meaningless.
