What are you most proud of?

[hobie1dog]

Interested in hearing what you are particularly proud of? Pride not being in the boastful, arrogant type, nor supporting the Illusion of Superiority, but just the feel good type. It can be family, certain long sought after material acquisitions, etc.

 

[unclearthur]

My three daughters. Simple easy answer.

Bit iffy on the sane though but hey! i wont tell them if you won't.

I'm with Arthur on this one... My two daughters and my grandson.

As for material... I have to go with a two-fer...

My MBA and my Fat Boy I was allowed to acquire for that accomplishment.

Im most proud of the fact that I kicked my alcohol habit when I started dating my current girlfriend. It was bad for a while, but with her help she pulled me out of a bad situation. It was also a blessing because after I kicked the alcohol habit, I started working on my pipe and tobacco collection, which I have to say I am also very proud of. ::

Congrats,Matchstickman!
For myself - easy - my three daughters. All in their 20's, all college grads (3 different schools!), all have got good jobs that can't be off-shored, all home-owners. 1 married, 1 engaged, and 1 - only been with this guy for 5 or 6 years. One of these days she'll decide she's ready to get married. No grandkids - but when two aren't married, that's a good thing! :D ::

For me (sorry if this seems just arrogant) I would say my position in life. I am 26, turn 27 tomorrow and I am mostly ashamed of my generation as I feel it is full of lazy self entitled slobs who don't want to work for anything and feel they are owed everything. I my short time here, I just bought a brand new $160k house in June, bought 2 new cars this past weekend and my wife is pregnant.
I have done all this with just me and my wife. No help from our parents or anyone else. That is what I am most proud of. I don't feel there are many in my generation willing to work for the things they want in life.

My wife, my daughter and myself. I've worked hard to not let being proud turn to being prideful.

I am proud of my 3 kids for coming from a rough situation and then kicking it in the jewels by succeeding at being awesome human beings. I am proud of my husband for being a great father to his children, and finding a job he loves and doing it extremely well. Materially, I'm rather fond of my extensive library and that my love of reading is rubbing off on everyone in my house.

[hobie1dog]

I thought this would be a nice thread....good responses everyone.

I'm most proud on my three children, oldest (son) is a fireman, second (son) is a police officer, and my youngest (daughter) is going to college to become a veterinarian. Just couldn't ask for more.

 

[marmal4de]

I just bought a brand new $160k house

You can own a home for 160k? My piece of shit duplex cost more than double that!?

 

[sherlock]

I am proud of my wife and the baby in her belly. I am proud that after having 20+ surgeries and years of being in and out of the hospitals that I will finally (I am 27) be graduating from college, the first in my family. I am proud to say that I have done no of this alone and I am proud to be an American.

 

[dhizzy]

My three little girls, ages 2, 4, 6 and my wife who is a stay at home that puts up with all of our crap!

 

[maduroman]

my 8 years service to my country as a grunt....

 

[eaglerico]

@marmal4de lol. Yeah. I live in Houston. For $160K I got a 2,500sf 2 story, 4 bedroom 2.5 bath brick house with a game room, office and garage. It has a covered attached back patio that covers the width of the house as well as a front covered attached patio on the front that covers the width minus the garage. All brand new and built to my specifications.
Housing in Houston and most of Texas is much more affordable then the majority of the US.

I am proudest of my three sons, all launched and making their way with integrity in a challenging world, my amazing wife of 28 years and our first grandson.
