Whats the age cutoff for being a permanent fuckup in life?

Im 22 and I STILL live at home. I even go to the store with my mom. I feel like if i dont become financially independent soon, I'll always be a loser to my family.

im 31 and i still do the same things as you. at this point my mom is so old that i cherish time with her instead of thinking im a loser. but yeah at a certain point i accepted im loser, around 27. the thing is the stress of it kills you, so you need to learn how not to worry and turn that energy into being productive. wish you all the luck man

You found this board, you're doing fine.

Save your money and learn to invest (just buy link lol) and you'll come out swinging on top. I have friends who scoff at me for living with my parents while they're busy living the "independent life". Lo and behold I'm about to retire next year at 28 while they have all the excuses in the world why they won't put $10 into investments.

Also realize that the world is vastly different from 20 years ago. It's harder to find jobs, our general wages are lower, our generation is all around poorer to the point where we're killing off industries. The American dream of a house with 2 cars and a picket fence is not going to be achieved with the strategies used from way back then. You have to be creative and the first step is learning how to make money outside of working more hours.

I quit my fucking job at 24 to move back in with my folks because my mother nearly fucking died and my dad was crippled and needed help. I spent just over 2 years neeting it up taking care of them before moving across the country for a job. Finna move back home because you know what I've learned? Fuck the world, love your parents, because unless they're b00mer-prime they love you more than anything. Pussy and a nice apartment are worth less than the love of your parents, because they are the only two people who have the POSSIBILITY of ever TRULY loving you.

Get rich with crypto to prove you don't need to be a cuck that is "financially independent" and rub it in their fat fucking faces.

christ, i turned my life around at 34 in 2009 at the height of the recession when nobody could get a job. Got into tech/software. I had $0 and have $450K and a paid off house. Anyone who can read, is willing to spend a lot of time and has the luxury to living at home where everything is provided for can earn a decent income if I did.

Yeah I'm at the same stage i dont give a fuck anymore what people say, my mum died and i dont think my dad has much longer left, he cant really afford the house by himself and i get a cheap place to stay.

I remember looking at a reddit thread asking about a guy who lived at home and they were savage lol, like "woa girl big red flag! he probably doesnt even know how to use a wachine machine!" I lived with a friend for a year and he was condescending about it as well, acted like a big shot and bragged to me about living on his own since 16, he ended up borrowing money off me all the time and would drive his car around with the oil light on and didn't know how to fix it.

This so much if you have good parents. It’s like they’re not going to be around forever but they will always want to be a part of your life, we have meant so muck to them. I could care less about partying or fucking roasties anymore. When I get to the point where I want kids my wife if I need one won’t be determining how the fuck I live and where I live. Gotta make it first for that part, but always putting my parents first, children second I’m good. I love spending time with my parents, they actually want to be good friends to you and they aren’t as flaky as the other people in my life.

33 years old software engineer here in a company with lots of young people.
After I started working the next 8 years went by really fast as if it was only a dream, and I used most of my energy and time for work while getting only the same salary as my under-performing colleagues.

Almost all of my colleagues got married and had kids in the last 5 years at the same time.
It feels like I completely missed out on something as a virgin and don't fit in with these people who certainly can't imagine me trading shiny rocks after work.

But most of them give me the feeling of following a predefined program without any independent thought.
They really love their wage slaving, but life should be more than this.

I still don't know what I want to do in my life, but I hope that Link will free me from this perpetual repeating work cycle.
One thing which steered me to try to change my life a bit was having dreams of my death and imagining my regrets at that time.

I don't think following the program of NPCs and their definition of success can make us happy.
Maybe what we need is something that we ignored all our life like remembering our childhood dreams and trying to realize them.

I was not a gambler and until a few years years ago the idea of taking a risk without a 100% result guarantee made me sick.
I preferred to plan everything and have a few backup plans for all the possible worst case scenarios.
However I started learning trading to try to cure myself of this condition.
That's how I ended up taking the biggest risk of my life until now which was to bet 3 years of what I could spare from my wage and take my first loan to go almost all in Link despite a success rate which I estimated at only 40% at the time.
It seems that if you want to get big results in life you need to be willing to take immense risks, but I was prepared to lose this bet because 4chan was the place which gave me the most fun memories in my life, and even losing it all on memes would be worth it.
