1/4 of a century gone.

'Age is nothing but a number', so the saying goes but what does it really mean. I turned 25 the other day and although I don't look older than I did 2 years ago, I still feel old . It must be my mental state of mind cause the -day just made me reflect on the life I have lived and the achievements gained  and I thought, wow have got such a long way to go!!!! No car, No house, No boyfriend, No actual savings to my name, .So I have decided to make the next 5 years count and have a big-do when I turn 30. But how do I go about acquiring all this material things that may suddenly make life better.......................what to do?
