Struggling is exhausting

[MarathonerDude]

I know I'm young for this thread cut off but I just feel like I need reply here and I want to hear peoples opinions on this.


Where r u at compared to where u wanted to be at 18?
I always wanted to be a collegiate runner and party nonstop while getting my BA in engineering and make 100k a year (lol at my idiot self for thinking that)
Dwelling
I live with my parents right now in the suburbs and I hate every second of it. I got in a fight with my mom because I pay for the bills around the house and they still consider me a child and expect me to be home at 11pm. I'm 23 years old.
Job
I work for a local city govt making 30k a year. I'm set with my medical insurance and pension. It can be stressful and a fun job at times but I feel like I need to do more with my life. I always wanted to be a medical researcher looking up cures for disabilites or develop life like prosthetics for disabled people. Thats my dream job
Money
I make about 1k every two weeks.
Savings
No savings. Just 2k in my checking account
Emotional health
I hate living with my parents. I feel depressed for not every finishing school. I don't think I'll ever do.
Psychical health
At times I'm happy because after work and being away from everything I can sit and play my drums be at peace
Family
I love them but seriously being alone would be the best thing for me. I'm an introvert.

Am I doing ok? Do you guys think I should look into moving out for starters?

[patsfan313]

Dwelling- 2 bedroom apt in a decent neighborhood, would like to be located in a wealthier one though. Not ready to own a house nor do I want to at this point. Def would like to be in a wealthier area though

Job- Student. Didnt expect that one at 18. Joined the military after a semester of college. Out now. I have never been a great student, but faurk, I wish I was past this point.

Money- Current income is defiantly not what I expected, nor will it be sustainable for any amount of time. Def not happy with this aspect of my life.

Savings- Have a lot in liquid assets, although I cringe every time I have to pull from my savings for living expenses

Emotional health- Bad, I was pretty happy throughout childhood and during my teenage years. Not sure how I got to the point I'm at now

Psychical health- So far so good

Family- Happily married, which I didn't see coming. I have lost a lot of close relatives, and only really have my Mother and Grandfather (who has been like a father ever since my Dad passed away). My Grandfather is 88 and in good health for his age, but not sure how long he has left. My mother is in good shape, but has a rare type of incurable lymphoma. Decent prognosis ATM.

So yeah, overall life is not how I pictured it would be.

[Werehusky]

When I was 18 I just wanted to be deployed, was an Infantryman at the time. Now I'm on the path to becoming a plastic surgeon or mohs surgeon. I guess my dad was right, I would grow up to be a surgeon like him.

Savings: Good
Mental HEalth: Good (only care about myself though)
Physical Heath: Good from the one good lung I have left and sorta messed up right tibia thanks to my time in the Army.
Family: We arn't close my twin brother committed suicide in 2009, Haven't talked to dad in 6+ months. Sister is a Doctor and I only say happy birthday to her. We are all extremely independent and like to be alone.

[IQover100]

Dwelling: parents house

Job: unemployed

Money: negative $90k

Savings: none

Emotional health: depressed

Psychical health: okay i guess

Family: my dad is the only family member i see anymore

[YasiinBey]

Everything is great. I just don't talk to my family

i can see this being me. once i graduate and leave my parents are not gonna here a single word from me

[PeppersGhost]

everything is pretty good

except physical: skinny as fuk and weak. no time for gym now cuz of 2 jobs where im on my feet running a lot

and financial is chit: made 30k last year, on track to about 40k this year cuz of 2 jobs. and still 20k in debt.

[hiimnotcool]

dwelling: 3 bed 2 bath apartment in a nice area of the pacific northwest
job: dont have one. on VA and Social security disability
money: not a whole lot but i cant complain since i dont work. $2,150 a month.
savings: none
emotional health: not very good a lot of the times. a lot of anxiety/panic attacks/depression
physical health: its decent. a little overweight for my liking but that's nothing some discipline cant fix. at 18 i was 140 pounds so being 220 now is a huge difference.
family: got a girlfriend of 4 years and 2 little kids. 2 year old daughter and 6 month old son. it's legit. she has her own business so that helps financially.

How's life ?
I hate it, I'm bored and I don't care
what happens next. I expected myself
to do much better

Where r u at compared to where u wanted to be at 18?
- I'm not even close to achieving
anything I set out to do

Dwelling
- I still live at home and don't care. I
can't afford what I would want to buy
anyway. I won't be 30 and still living
at home. It's not like I'm swimming in
pussy so I see no reason to move out

Job
- I have the job I wanted at 18 but I
haven't gotten a promotion

Money
- I make $100,000 a year but after
taxes I take home half of that which
isn't a lot of money

Savings
- I only have $2,000 in by bank
account but I probably have about
$150,000 in my retirement. I don't
look though

Emotional health
- I guess I'm depressed because I
haven't achieved anything I set out to
do really

Psychical health
- I'm in great shape but I could be in
even better shape

Family
- no wife, no girlfriend and no kids. I
don't want any of those things. I get
along great with my dad and okay
with my mom.

Honestly right now moving out might not be a financially sound move but it could be the best move for you psychologically. Living on your own for the first time is a gestalt shift and the time alone gives you much more time for introspection and strategizing on your life's path.

On the other hand, it's not cheap without roommates and your parents won't be young forever. I think you'd find few Octogenarians who, on their death bed, wouldn't wish they had spent more of their youth with their parents. Perhaps sit down with your parents and establish new boundaries. I can almost guarantee that they'd be pained to see you go and will accommodate you accordingly.

[RuskiyMiscer]

28
Dwelling - Just bought a $1M+ house
Job - Principal Investing ($$$). Still get bored very easy and hate working for other peoples money. I look forward to starting my own business in 2 years.
Money - Good. Also day-trade a penny stock that is thinly traded. I am a market maker. $50k invested on average at a time and make around $20k a year. A lot of upside and downside but in a flat market I make about $20k a year.
Savings - After 25% down payment on house I have about $150k that I invest with
Emotional health - Good and getting better ALL THANKS TO MEDITATION.
Psychical health - Good (not great) and slightly getting better because of better work hours
Family - Married with 2 kids and 1 on the way
(MY ADDITION) Hair - Receding and thinning even though I think it stopped receding about 4 or 5 years ago and stopped thinning 1.5 years ago. The receding and thinning seems to happen in waves and I am currently just waiting for the next one.
(MY ADDITION) Overall - Generally good but still feel I spend way too much of my life at work which I generally find boring (see sig). I drink too much alcohol and always have it on my mind that I want to cut back. Never really get drunk but think 3 glasses of wine 3-5 days a week.

1 Million $ House, on $20K a year?

Thank you. I hear that a lot from older people that say that. And at the same time I just feel the need to leave the nest and not look back. I can't even workout or miss dinner without them arguing with me. It frustrates me to no end. But your right I'll have this talk and if they don't like it I'm leaving.

[lilbdabasedgod]

[smbrown3706]

[BigTimePlayer]

I'm 28

Dwelling: parents house

Job: Unemployed, quit my job in June since I was sick of being treated like ****

Money: making nothing atm

Savings: have about low 5 figures saved, don't know exact amount off hand

Emotional health: Really ****ed up

Psychical health: Pretty decent

Family: Get along fine with my family, but I have no girlfriend & am lonely as **** a lot of the time

[SoutheastBeast1]

Socially and emotionally plummeting

In grad school so still have potential to make it but feel behind most others my age

Physically I'm great. Clearly the best thing going for me

No gf

Still have a respectable shot at doing something really important (career wise) in my life given my current position

So like I said I still have potential but I work constantly atm which is kind of depressing

Have lost friends recently, and don't meet new people who are single (male or female) very often any more

Financially again not good currently but potential



In other words my life sucks and I'm ready to have a real career instead of jumping through hoops nonstop

[Imortalee]

Compared to 18, a complete flip and nothing i wanted then is now.

Dwelling
Moved from home to apt, to my owning a house

Job
Police dispatcher (going to police academy starting tomorrow)

Money
Pays the bills and higher than what I thought i'd be at this age

Savings
Enough for emergencies

Emotional health
100x better - No more anxiety or stressing over stupid ****.

Psychical health
No longer a fatass

Family
in good terms with my family and gfs family, on key to be engaged after police academy.

Goals we're unrealistic for the money i was making at 18 (plus i had no idea what to major in) then figured it out a couple years ago, then got hired as a dispatch and now going another direction. Least I got that paper tho. Doing what makes me happy and I feel a passion for.

What about you OP?
