Your biggest achievement in the last 10 years

First goal was to equal my age in wage or better it, I've been doing that for the past 10 years and now I'm earning double my age in wage.

I'd rather have money than kids.
 
So far I think FF has put a fair few of us to shame, well, me for sure :)

With the exception of I get around and mame :D
 
Not being diagnosed with chronic depression, pretty easy to do actually, just don't go to a doctor / psycologist, therefore they can't diagnose you!

Do I qualify as emo yet?

Meeting a very nice woman that is now my girlfriend, finishing uni + getting a first class dissertation which is freely available at the university library, getting a decent job.
 
My wife and I leaving our lives and family in South Africa as we had no future there. It was hard but we had to man up and do it as we couldn't let the opportunity pass. That was over 5 years ago and this year we acquired our Indefinite Leave to Remain (we can live here forever) and next year we become eligible to apply for dual citizenship and get a british passport.

I know that many of our friends and family thought we wouldn't hack it and would return, but we kept positive and that's history now. Since we have been here I have managed to pay off all the money I owed my parents (they basically looked after us for 5 years since I left school and I owe my awesome parents a lot - they both in their 70's now and at the time I felt ashamed sponging off pensioners, let alone them being my folks)

Last year my eldest brother (45, I'm 29) passed away unexpectedly. This event kicked me up the backside and I realised I'm really abusing my health as in he was fit as a fiddle and I'm getting wasted every Friday night playing WoW :rolleyes: smoking etc. So after 12 years of smoking and 2 years of WoW I quit! and now only drink socially instead of at home just for laughs.

Rome wasn't built in a day so next decade I will be looking to get back into shape and starting up waterpolo again :)
 
Build dozens of houses/flats/extensions.
