I think life can be summed up in the following sentence:

"You start your life, fall in love, and get loans to please her."

Well, maybe it is not that cut and dry.  But let me give you an example of a life story that would fulfill this description.

When I turned 18, I decided I needed a car.  To get this car I got a unsecured loan from the bank.  I had been working at my job for the better part of two years and I had money in the bank.  So they had no problem lending the money to me.

At 21, I met the love of my life and the girl that would become my wife six years later.  At this point, the whole loans and love relationship started.  For example, she decided to buy a computer for me when I was 23 and she got a loan to do it.

Fast forward to our late 20s.  We now have a home (and a mortgage - a type of loan) and my wife wants to renovate our bathroom.  So we are going to get a secured homeowner loan to pay for it.  This way we can spread out our payments over the next twenty years or so.

So, if you look at my statement above, my life embodies that very well.
