Well Chris,

I had met the woman I would marry and eventually father my twins.
I was working in telecom, had my BSEE and was considering getting my MBA (which I eventually got)
I was driving an Acura Integra (After having a new GTI in college, it was great to get something reliable; which I kept for 240K miles while contracting...)
I had been to Europe 3 times and was saving up for my first home which I bought a year later.
I had been saving in 401k plans for over 8 years but it was still rather small. That 20K is now worth over ~220/240K.

Recommendations:
-- Save for retirement (remember it is part of your total net worth)
-- Travel as much as you can
-- Buy a single detached home when it bottoms out in a few years.
-- Find the love of your life!! Maybe on a trip... ;-)
