When you reach the age of self awareness and can survive on your own in the world.


If it weren’t for my wife I couldn’t survive! So still a tittie baby!

I did find self awareness around 11 when I found an old Penthouse Magazine along a RR Track dump one afternoon!

I couldn't wait to leave home. I left as soon as Uncle Sam agreed to let me move in with him just after turning 18. Never looked back. It sure helped me to grow up. Now that I'm retired and living where I do I'm the happiest I've been. It's a simple life...I don't have everything I want, but I have far more than I need. Fair enough...

At age 18, I figured. The justice system, courts, DA’s office doesn’t consider you a hapless juvenile any more. Able to join the military, if you can qualify. After I withdrew from college at 19, moved into an apartment ($145. monthly rent), got full time employment. Had a lot to learn about money management, impulse control, record keeping (bank loan papers, tax forms), thinking ahead, planning, saving money.

I started driving at 7

Had my first pickup at 12 and a 5 mile radius to drive it.

Married and a father at 17 He just turned 40 a few months ago and hes been Army for 22 of those years

My third marriage is now in its 16th year

Ive been employed ALL of those years except since being laid off a year ago.

And I still try to not claim myself as an adult. But shat happens.
