If you were not on a good life “trajectory” in your late teens/early 20’s it becomes 10x harder to make it. If you didn’t make the right choice to study something lucrative and pursue high paying career paths from 18-25 then you are at such a huge disadvantage vs other people, even if you manage to start over in your 30’s and overcome life’s inertia you will still be late 30’s by the time you start a new career that pays better. By that time someone who started earning big bucks as a 22 year old software engineer or 26 year old big law associate is way ahead of you and compound interest means they probably are sitting on a huge nest egg by this time. Holy shit life is so gay
