holy fuck its possible to turn it around get your license first then wage slaveI’m 25 years old.
I know this sounds brutal, but I’m trying to be honest about where I’m at.
- No driver’s license.
- No car.
- No savings.
- Never had a job.
- Never had a girlfriend.
- I’m basically a NEET.
- Still living with my parents.
I feel like I’ve fallen behind everyone my age. Most people I know have at least a few of those things sorted out, while I basically have none of them.
Lately I’ve been trying to turn things around. I’ve started lifting consistently, applying for jobs, tracking my finances, and trying to build better habits. So I’m not just sitting around doing nothing anymore. But sometimes I look at my situation as a whole and think, “Damn… am I just cooked?”
Has anyone here been in a similar position in their mid-20s and actually managed to turn their life around?
I’m not looking for fake motivation or sugarcoating. I just want honest opinions. Is this still recoverable if I keep improving, or have I fallen too far behind compared to everyone else?
