Is it true by 30yo, your life is more or less set already?

[Loratadine10mg]

I went uni to get FCH in engineering, then later went into Oil & Gas, and back to uni/ but because Im overaged, even though I make way more than my peers for the last 2years, my savings is quite just like my peers with just a bachelor degree, and nowhere near the bz owners without degree.

Most of my saving comes from my Nvidia stocks.

My 5 figure salary is useless considering the cost and time it takes to reach. (For example 4 years bachelors no income, nearly 100k education expenses, 2 years army no income etc etc).. and with those degenerative woke liberals constantly protesting about the gender wage gap, i dont think wages are allowed to rise any faster in the coming decades, especially if you are in the so called privileged gender they always wants to peck on for free cookie.

it is quite evident working on a small business model at a younger age will lead to a more financial state by the time you reach 30s.

Around me, most other bachelors degree in the 30s still making 5-6k a month..
Those social science even lesser. And the uni fee keeps increasing lol. Funny thing is, during uni days, some people from bio science was giving me the irk for choosing engineering.

All in all, the endless rising tuition fee, and 4 years of income gap for a poorly acknowledged certificate is a killer for many youth when you don't understand why they are here for the cert.. unlike the older days where being a degree just alone means something.. since so few people can qualify for uni education..

I did relate back why reading a degree can equate to sending your child to financial doom, but guess some boomer just cannot relate it in any sense. so good luck. some people are doom to be losers gen after gen. lmao

We should all jump banwagoon to stocks ans shares and ONG

Career wise? No , you can still afford to jump around but make sure you have the skill set to manage people soon
If you are single , you will find that you are repeated your life at 40ish while those married and have children have embarked on their next phase(s) of life
Btw single and left right hand not counted

[enimen]

To be rich, every year of work achievement is precious. Life is a game of snake and ladders. Need to spend every year hitting work targets and don't get caught in setbacks that will bring you back down to zero

I realised a pattern. Many people I deemed "successful", by 30yo they already kinda set for life already.

They either belong to 1 or more of these categories:

1. Born rich, have a parents who are doing well and can guide them. Or just be ASK/ASB shake leg.

2. Normal family, but results quite good, so go through the typical gov job route or careers that requires good academic qualifications.

3. Normal family, results so so, but good at work, managed to take up more portfolio and by mid 30s already director level.

4. Normal family, results so so, work also so so, marry a rich man.

5. Normal family, but since campus or army days already a lot friends, end up at least 1 of their contact bring them up together and huat together.

It's almost impossible if you are an average joe and without any of those, you will get any much significantly better. Basically if you are not lucky enough to breakthrough by 30yo, you can kiss goodbye to a "successful" life and just admit you are nothing but a behkan waiting for end time already.

And I belong to #6 the behkan nothing but wasting Earth's resources. In 1 month time is 2025 and I'll be 30yo. I achieve nothing and will continue achieve nothing but just continue slog very hard just for the pathetic survival and remain in the lowest tier of Maslow's hierarchy - Physiological needs

I once was young and naive and believe that if I just work a bit harder, and each time, I'm dealt with the worst cards, I encourage myself that just try a bit harder, I'll get out of the tunnel eventually.

But as time passes, I came to my conclusion, everything is kinda set. And unless a special miracle happens, my life is just gonna be like this. I will never be able to breakthrough significantly more than what was already destined for my behkan suay life.

In before yet another depressing thread.

Just wanna see how everyone feel about their life so far?

You know, there are some guys, they are single, and they can't get girls. And they whine, oh, girls only like AMDK, rich guys, tall guys, Korean oppa, etc. Problem is girls. Also because of AWARE and Women's Charter and gender equality. And because gahmen make them do NS.

That's why they are single. Nothing to do with them. It's the fault of women and society and gahmen. It is because life is UNFAIR.

Then you ask them, ok, so do you really want to get a girl, or do you just want to whine? Because life IS unfair. So too bad, suck it up, buttercup.

But no matter how bad things are, you can always make it better. Maybe you won't get that supermodel, but you can improve on your right hand.

And you know what, they never answer. They just ignore the question and continue whining about how life is unfair.

Because doing anything is just too hard, whining is easier.

I bet guys like that really impress you, huh?

(one of these guys might even be in this thread!)

Well anyway you have a different problem. You can't get (enough) money. Also your family life kinda sucks.

But it's not so different.

The same question applies to you: do you actually want to do something about your situation? Or do you just want to whine?

If all you want to do is whine, great. More power to you.

If you do want to do something about it, then... What have you done to make your situation better, today? Posting on edmw doesn't count, btw.
