Saw this question posted 8 years ago, and loved some of the responses. Would love to see what people have to say about it now.

Copying from the post: things you avoid while persevering?

Work related: I have an addiction to food and shelter.

Relationship related: former marriage: I didn’t want to be seen as a failure even though I knew I was the only person in it for the right reason. Within four years I said “fuck it. I can start over”. Current marriage early on: I thought it was worth it and we got through it. I couldn’t imagine my life without my wife.

Financial from both my first divorce and overdoing it before the real estate crash: it’s only numbers. I never doubted I would eventually recover even though it took 8 years.
