I thought I'd be a millionaire by 30 too.

But I hit 30 last year and found that what I truly wanted to do was make music, write, and spend time with my family.

I don't advocate mediocrity, but everyone doesn't have to be a high achiever. It's okay to live a fulfilling life doing what you like, even if it doesn't make you rich or earn you Wikipedia entries.

Dang, new life goals...

> make music, write, and spend time with my family

But seriously, that sounds about right for me too. Maybe insert 'code' after 'write'.
