Has someone or some circumstance ever stifled your advancement in life, what has been your biggest road block?

[Ben487]

My Boss or superiors have been the road block

My police record has been the road block

My Wife or Children have been the road block

Regulations or regulators have been the road block

Money has been the road block

My health has been the road block

I would say my biggest obstacles, are the doctors who mismanaged my health for reputation and income reasons, the parents who damaged my mental health when I was a child and stunted my growth capacity, and the dishonest and corrupt church attendees who spread malicious lies about me and fed me with false information about the Christian faith so that I resented God for years thinking I had been taken advantage of and robbed.

Myself and money. I set out about 6 years ago to pursue my passion. I needed a shop and a ass load of tools. So I bought a house in the country that had a nice shop. Worked an ass load of overtime to buy tools. $50,000 worth so far. I was hyper focused for the first few years but all that overtime took a toll. I'm burned out and can barley stand going to my job. I still need about 20,000 to 30,000 dollars worth of tools and don't have the motivation anymore to put in the overtime to get there. Add in a string of bad luck that cost a lot of money. A tree fell on my shop. My water line broke. My bathroom flooded. It seems like it's always one step forward 2 steps back anymore. I'll get to my goal eventually but it'd be great to get a string of good luck for once.

life just happens sometimes...

I would not say a full block though... just bumps on the road, that sometimes were a bit of an Everest

Most of these road blocks are self-inflicted. Nobody gets in my way.

I had to drop out of college twice because I did not have the money to continue. It took me 15 years to finish college.
