Anyone having trouble keeping up with life??

[MGTOW@50Participant 225]

I’m 50 now. I suppose that means I’ve made enough mistakes to have learned a few things. Seems to me I’ve been happiest when I had the fewest things to concern myself with.

During my first divorce I went on a 500 mile hike to clear my head. All I had was what I carried and I was pretty damn happy.

When I came back I fell back into the hunt for female companionship. The sex was great but it came with lots of baggage; single mom’s kids to deal with, “loaning” money to the GF, pressure to make a commitment, woman’s roller coaster emotions.

I was searching for a unicorn. When you have that mindset you’re bound to find one. Remarried. Bad idea. Now going through 2nd divorce. No longer debt-free.

Here’s my plan:

I’m continuing to simplify my life. Getting rid of financial commitments that are unnecessary that were somehow ‘must-haves’ when I had a wife with access to my resources.

Pay off debt and save money.

Do things with my time that I enjoy. Do things with my sons that we enjoy.

Filter out the BS that adds no value to my life.

Exercise more. It’s healthy and focuses the brain.

Nice. Minimalism really works for men, I find.

Otherwise, I’m going to call it quits just like everyone else my age did

Don’t do that! I know pain’s a bitch and makes one not feel like living when i’t’s searing every thought in your head and the only thing you’re thinking about but it comes and goes, resist it and keep on moving forward! How do you think vets feel after loosing their arms and legs then compete to become champions with artificial limbs? The loose allot of weight with those extremities and that makes the rest of them able to go faster!

Those guys are my heroes right up there with Evil Knievel!

Not exactly…i feel more like i am stuck or trapped in one spot if anything.

All i do is work. Obviously i don’t date anymore. I don’t have friends. When i am not at work I’m at home. I have some hobbies, but nothing really gives me a sense of purpose.

I still live in this s~~~ty town in the middle of nowhere. I moved here for the sole purpose of staying close to my gf at the time…so stupid. 3.5 years, and it didnt even last 3 more months. Lesson learned.

All i am doing is working and trying to get my affairs in order. I want to find a way out of the matrix, and i want to get far away from here. First, i have to pay off my loans.

To be honest, i don’t see a point or a reason to do any of this. Maybe it’s just because i refuse to give up…but there really isn’t anything worth trying or working hard for anymore, it seems. Or if there is, i am trying like hell to find it, but it’s nowhere in sight.

I have recently been toying with the idea of unplugging completely. No news, no new movies (older stuff only), nothing. If I have the internet at all in the future it may be just to play online games and be social while doing so with friends from around the world. The past 10 years I have not paid for T.V. in any form. I do not text, rarely use my cell phone at all. It is just a cheap burner phone that costs almost nothing. Skype and other platforms for communication with gaming friends, costs nothing…

Life is easy to keep up with if you control what it demands from you. Fine tune the demands to the level that you can deal with and it can get simple pretty damn quick. Find work that you like and do the best to avoid bulls~~~. For me this means having only a few close friends. Most people are dumbf~~~s and assholes anyhow, just throw them on the garbage pile and keep the good ones, no need to deal with other peoples bulls~~~.

@x11, your struggle is pretty common among men who are trying to keep appearances.

You may be trying to drag things along that don’t serve you any purpose. I’m still married, but if not would thrive on half of my income.

Consider what’s important to you. You mentioned 80 and insolvent. Check out the headlines, millionaires under 70 die every day. Live today for today, but make sure you are only buying into what you want to own.

@ever5, check into rubbertramp roundup. It should be in January in Quartzite, AZ. Get that van finished, and hit the road.

I failed to realize in my youth that I was the prize. I was going to work. I was going to earn. Little did I realize that due to feminism, that no longer meant I had to share. Road soon, Desert after.
