    What about AOL chat room ?! Haha

    Along with dial up. The obnoxious sound it made connecting and when someone picked up the phone you were knocked offline. Nooooooooooo! Oh, and downloads that took 12 years.

    Hi all! 30/Chicago here.

    How many of us 30 somethings own a home? I'm trying to buy a condo but with student loans it's not happening.

    At least I've lost 16 pounds this year! 19 to go!

    Homeowner here ✋
    We built it ourselves. Been living here for over 7 years now.

    I am still paying off my school debt, so I can own a home. Hopefully by the time I'm 40 I'll get to experience the joy of painting a wall! And putting a hole where ever my lil' heart desires!

    And does anyone remember that Dino show on TGIF?? I hated it but for some reason always left it on. What was after it? Maybe that's why I left it on....

    And those Moment of Truth movies....and Dateline's guess the date feature. Wow, the stuff that pops in one's head...

    I honestly feel like we are the last generation of common sense, yall! Idiocracy at it's finest bo'! I swear.

    I think you will find every generation thinks that.

    The previous generation ruined the world and the following generation are idiots who have it too easy.

    This is true. I remember growing up hearing my dad complain about folks.

    I'm a homeowner...but not because I could afford to buy it. I live in a SUPER SMALL town were 2 bedroom houses sell for about 15-20 grand. A little mill town. My dad and mom got remarried after being divorced for 20 years. When they got hitched again, they bought a bigger house and gave my sister and I their old ones. My dad gave me his bachelor pad as a wedding gift. I got very very lucky because with my student loan and hospital debt, it's preventing me from doing anything. The trouble I am having right now to get a car is ridiculous.

    It's small. Like almost 900 sq. ft. not including the porch. I love it. Perfect size for my husband and I. We even have an extra bedroom if someone needs to crash here.

    Maybe I am getting my imperial to metric conversions wrong but that does sound very small. Do you and your husband get on each others nerves a lot being in close proximity?

    Is it two storey?

    It's single but has huge ceilings. I've actually said if I ever get enough money, I wanna turn the attic into a loft. It's a decent size. My kitchen is huge. The downfall is my washer and dryer are in here. And we do pretty good together. He works a lot thought so that might be why. Lol.

    Honestly, the worst part about any of it is the town. It's small. One red light. A piggly wiggly and a Dollar General. If you need anything that doesn't involve those 2, you have to drive 20 minutes, at least.

    I own a home with my husband. But, I was also fine renting. If not for him, I probably would just rent the rest of my life. The responsibility of homeownership makes me a little queasy and anxious.

    Very good, lol, although it is summer for me!! I managed to cool down a bit fixing the swimming pool thingy (we call it a creepy crawly. I guess you guys across the pond call it a barracuda?). Still pretty hot though. Almost time to braai!!!

    One of us is living upside-down and back to front

    Step by step was awesome. I loved that show. And family matters.

    How is everyone today. And I'm also wondering what brought us 30 somethings to MFP?

    I myself have been an on and off again member since 2014. I'm just now finding success in my weight loss. Logged in 135 days in a row today. My main goals are to get to a healthy weight and better shape. I'll have to set better fitness goals later.

    My main goal is to look awesome so my ex can suck it!!

    Haha! Seriously though, I was diagnosed with insulin resistance and need to get my weight in check to reverse that. Plus I want to inspire my boys to stay fit and healthy

    I left mine on top of the microwave when I cooked something and after that it died like every day.

    Oh boy my favorite song on the radio just came on. Better hit record.

    And I didn't have a 2-in-1 so I held a tape recorder up to my alarm clock radio.
