Well, since you asked: Cars, Babes, $
After 22 years in NYC I have decided its time to fully enjoy my passions at 44.
When you write down on a list what you absolutely love to do & how often you actually do them...it becomes clear.
For me, its:
-Cars: seat time/days --in NYC its best case (1 day/weekend x 12 summer weekends) = 12 days v. 356 in Cali
-Blondes: Tall, skinny, Platinum blondes with small waists, big boobs, perfect butts are all over Cali..usually in bikinis; case closed.
-Fun: See above: again 12 weeks tops to enjoy top down (cars or babes) v. 52 weeks
-Lifestyle: Cali is really geared to relaxation..they sell Liquor in super-markets!! Cuervo mixers come in Mango, Strawberry, Light!
-Food: Mexican, Cali, Persian (whole supermarkets...12 Kebab choices!)
You have to really know deep down what you like & makes you happy; then give yourself permission to enjoy and never look back.
I actually smile when I see a nice car; Monterrey/Pebble Weekend is like paradise; driving my Hertz Vette to dinner at Chart House on Cannery Row was best meal I have ever had.
Grass may be greener and risks are there; but hay if Im not taking risks at 44, I never am.
I am realizing $ is actually only good when you can enjoy it....
