Then 5+ years entering and establishing a career within the industry.

You are now 30+ years old, saving for a house while paying off the debt, too busy to effectively search for a lover. Life is all work and little love felt before the sedentary lifestyle and bad diet cause a heart disease that takes you at 53.

Or you survive until 84 and you have a chance at something else. Who knows!
