I am in the same boat as most. I got certified when I was 24, now 26. I have graduated with a degree in accounting and now pursuing a masters. With time and money being such a rare resource for myself and fiance who is also going through Physical Therapy School right now while I provide for both of us currently, things are tight. I have money saved for a rainy day along with putting some away for a down payment on a house which are my priorities right now.
I have all my gear but when I work full time and go to school full time, my weekends are spent in the books until I am done with school again. We are trying to pay our wedding off as soon as possible. The day of, we plan on having no debt related to the wedding and are on track with that goal.
We both try to get out and get a local dive in from time to time to break the monotony up a little but it doesn't always work that way. Plans change all the time because of prior obligations. We try to do things with both sides of our families, which most of mine is in Florida, but it keeps you busy. Once we are both done with school and have a much bigger disposable income and settled in where we would ultimately like to be, I see us getting into the sport a lot more because of less time and money issues.
