I didn't care until about 25 when I realized I hated working 40 hours per week. I don't particularly care about having a huge house or lambo (not that I'd turn them down). But I do want to have the financial freedom and security to quit my job and know there's a roof over my head and food on the table. Everything else is just icing.

I believed the "work hard and you will get promoted" meme to get more money.
Then you realise it's people who have high social skills who use them to charm their way to pay rises or promotions while not doing the "work hard" part.
I am a sperg with low social skills so realised a 9 to 5 isn't for me and I'm not going to get anywhere, I have to find another way.

There is more to life than what you're living.
You take a chance and face the wind.
An open road and a road that's hidden
A brand new life around the bend.

There were times when I lost a dream or two.
Found the trail, and at the end was you.
There's a path you take and a path not taken
The choice is up to you my friend.

Nights are long but you might awaken
To a brand new life,
Brand new life,
Brand new life around the bend.

hate to break it to you but the cough is here to stay so travelling will be a thing of the past, and if covid wasn't enough they will scream jet fuel and how dare you. Not trying to fuck it up for you anon but the world is not what it used to be, take it from an old fart. I have a huge bucket list place across the globe I want to see but am starting to rethink it and focus on living cost of town, passive house and growing my own food and a county life.

Oh wow I'll be able able to watch YouTube in a slightly bigger house and not have to ration medications.

If you haven't done what you want to do by 60 you might as well rope. 60+ is just a little bonus if you've already lived a good life. Never expect to live that long, it will light a fire under your ass and get you to do now what you know you should be doing.

I work on a team with just one other person and they have done close to nothing since the beginning of November and I've done all the work they won't do. I have told my manager and they act like they care, but nothing is done. Makes me feel like such a fucking faggot for putting up with such nonsense. Id tell my boss I'm gonna be like her and just not do anything but I know that'll end up with me getting let go while this bitch just continues to do nothing.

Its unbelievable. I have been an office wagie for 6 years and its already making me want to just slum it as some low level paid security guard working a comfy nightshift.

[Anonymous No.25141700]

I'm a good deal younger than you and still feel like i was late. At the end of the day, i think thats how most people are. Regardless, that fact that you've realized your mistake is what matters, if you at least take steps toturn things around now you'll be very glad you did when you hit 40. We're gonna make it, anon

This is exactly why I got into crypto. Not only is it interesting from a technological standpoint, but at 31 the only chance I have to make up lost time financially-speaking is to invest in a highly volatile, mostly unregulated, fast growing market and hope I can find gems to pull off 3x 5x 10x enough times to make it before 35. Otherwise it's literally over.

100% this. I never cared about money because early on I identified the system for what it is i.e. a Rothschild financial pyramid scheme predicated on fiat currency, fractional reserve banking, and compound interest. The masses get enslaved by debt while the real wealth/resources get funneled into the possession of the 1%.

I still haven't lost hope that i can turn my life around, sure i won't be a doctor or anything but right now getting any job, even a security guard/delivering for (((amazon))) is a step in the right direction.

But i'm still holding out hope that i can prove them wrong.

Awesome man. If you're open to transportation services/jobs then I advise you to consider a career as a truck driver. I make 120k before taxes, full benefits, home every night. It's one of the better/more ideal jobs in the industry (aside from being a successful owner operator/fleet operator). You can get your CDL after a couple months in school. There are plenty of entry level jobs that will allow you to earn 60 to 80k per year and have you home every week, if not every night. I would recommend port drayage/intermodal work. That's where I started with no prior experience. I was home every night and averaging around $1500 per week after my training period.

I can barely park my small volksvagen, i don't want to kill people with a truck if i ever passed. Anyways truck drivers is not good in bongland due to a number of reasons, i can see how it would be a fairly decent job in America though. If i could go back, i'd probably try and get a degree in Medicine and eventually become a doctor, oh well time to move on and hope the future holds something good for me and i can get some sense of accomplishment and satisfaction. I don't even bother comparing myself to my peers anymore, they're light years ahead and i'll never catch up, i don't even care about having a huge house, a lambo etc, i just want something i'm passionate about and don't wake up monday morning dreading to go to it, i don't have any hobbies/interests so that's the difficult part of finding a purpose/career. I envy those who had their path set out in their teen years by themselves or their parents, being 25 and not knowing what to do with your life is not a good feeling. This is what happens when you're a brainlet and your single mother barely managed to put food on the table whilst you were supposed to study and become something with no guidance, you end up a retard with no future.
