My life is at a crossroads as I struggle to transform between two men.  The first man was a free-wheeling bachelor, living paycheck-to-paycheck, taking off to the mountains on adventures, and not answering to anyone else (except a boss).  The man I want to become is a grown-up adult.  A family man who is settled down and financial stable, with long term goals, one who is moving up in his career, making investments, but still 'having' fun but in a less reckless scope.

I have been bouncing around jobs in the construction management field for years.  I have a lot of potential for higher advancement in management, but I do not apply myself.  Many of these jobs have had little supervision from above, causing me to 'slack off' often and waste precious hours when I could be working on my career.  I want to change this.

While I have been investing into 401k and also paying a mortgage on a condo, I have never been able to build up a solid savings account.  I tend to spend my money on material things such as snowboards, guns, trucks, motorcycles, and going out to eat.  Granted, I look for a value and buy nearly everything used, but I feel like my spending habits are still out of control of my savings habits.  I want to be able to save up a large sum of money to eventually use to invest in a good idea in the future and make even more money investing.

I am not overweight but I don't feel like I am in shape, either.  Over many years of learning from friends and family, I have all the exercise and nutritional information at my fingertips to use, however I do not apply them.  I have always had trouble waking up in the morning, and I am always very tired after work.  I want to improve my health and lifestyle by becoming a 'morning person', taking time to have a good breakfast before leaving for work.  I also want to motivate myself to exercise every night.  I have enjoyed weight training in the past but it is a primarily solo activity.  I am thinking of joining a boxing gym for the supporting network of fellow trainees.
