Life is nothing but problems. Moving non stop trying to find a stable job etc. At some point you make it work but the problems never stop. I bought my house at 24 and have been fixing it ever since then. had I known what I know now at 36 I never would have baught this house I woulda held out and got something better but since I was never consoled by my parents I let the realtor really steer me which was so far the biggest mistake in my life, but at least I can recover for this. Just gotta put some work into it and sell it. But don’t buy 50+ year old houses. All Im really just saying was at the time I was nieve and easily convinced. I’ve since learned a lot more and become stronger but since I’m shit I bought a house I shouldn’t have cause the industry took advantage of a 24 year old boy

If you're looking for career related stories; I didn't have my first "adult", successful job till I was in my early 30's. Getting married far too young got me stuck working retail 48 hours a week through my 20's. Supported my wife while she went to school for years and years, raised our daughter mostly by myself since the wife was never around. I did all the housework, all the cooking, all the yard work - so she could focus on her education, so "we" could have a better life eventually.

She finally graduated, got a job in her field, and then within a year had the talk with me. Fucking bitch. She didn't have any passion left for us, yada yada, and we split. I suspect she had cheated on me as well, but don't give a fuck really at this point.

I finally got the chance to go back to school. Worked full time while going to school full time, sacrificed everything else to finish fast. Missed out on holidays/weekends/nights with my family and friends, but finally got out of retail and have been working in various IT roles now for 17 years.

Honestly, there is a mindset that you should be successful and settled into life in your early 20's, but that's rarely the case (for the few men who pulled that off, kudos). You really start to piece it together around 30, around when you have enough life experience to make sense of the world. My only advice is to not rush, take things one step at a time and learn everything you can.
