It’s unironically 100% fine to not care about money in your 20s as long as you’re acquiring EDUCATION and EXPERIENCE. In your 20s, you’ll be entry level in your career and not making much cash - it really doesn’t matter what you do with it. Later in your career, you can literally make in a month what would’ve taken you a year of saving. As long as you’re working in a promising field and/or studying something worthwhile, you should just enjoy your small amount of money while you’re young.

Your 20s are the most important years to snowball your money later in life for compounding purposes. Having $100k invested in your 20s vs your 30s is a drastic life changing difference assuming you don't just lose it all, but having all that money does warp your worldview

I once cared about money. I was 10 and had gotten a "new millenia scratchcard" back in the end of 1999. I won roughly $1k on it and wanted to invest it. My communist dad said "no, stay out of the stock market. it's a scam. do something fun instead" and he dragged me to several toy stores and forced me to spend it all.

Also: When I was like 5-6 years old and was visiting my grandma in Poland I once, on an early morning walk with her, found several hundred GBP laying on the ground, and no other person in sight. My mom laid her hands on the sterlings. She tells me she bought me clothes and toys and stuff, I have no recollection of that.

I was lucky with money as a kid. Today I have no luck with either money or women.
Oh well.. I have patience, I hope I'll make it some day with my 100k LINKs

one thing that has always been so distant it feels unreal to me is all the high paying jobs. the most i could ever hope for is about 35k if I continue to devote time to learning and building a (full stack) web dev portfolio. those other jobs you see people flaunting on biz look completely unattainable to someone like me who didn't have the rich parents/friends to lead me to it, or to share what course to graduate in to get them. im really thankful I eventually checked out biz at 26 rather than 36 but God I can't shake off the inferiority syndrome that tells me I'll never make it. being poor really is a mentality
