I spent my 20's helping family, never had time for myself. now im 29, i wanted to be a musician or artist, but i think im too old. i've got crypto and stocks, never pursued what i wanted. had to turn down relationships and opportunities just to stay with family and help out.
what are things i can get into in my 30s that arent cringe for 30 year olds. i'll be able to go my own way december 2023.
>careers
>location
>any opportunity
I just feel like i dont have anything to look forward to. maybe move to NY or Hawaii idk

Why do you care whether anything is cringe or not? Why do people you don't even know matter whatsoever. literally. If your basing what you would do in YOUR life, because you think others are gonna find it cringe, you're unironically ngmi.
Do whatever the hell you truly want to do

do what u want man, i became an artist at 23, i did a little bit of school but i didnt have money to go to a really good one, so ive been living with my grandma for a few years painting full time, saving some money on the side. Going to europe next year for a few months to paint with my gf. Literally do whatever you want, everything you do will be hard though, nothing is easy that is rewarding.

OP you are a faggot you are not old. You want 30 to be old to justify your boring life. I'm going to get a college degree and do something with my 30's. Sure, my peers will retire earlier than me, but I traded with them. I took my 20's instead.

They be pretty much all dead if not for my sacrifice. And now I'm im stuck in this spot where i can't decide whether i would be better off just letting them fade away or saving them and remain a broke loser. If you wonder why was this up to me the rest of the family lives over seas and cares very little.

Yes you can.
Family is not a license to treat anyone like shit.
If they’re not treating you well, no matter who they are, cut them out of your life. Otherwise you’re just enabling their shitty behavior, and they’ll never stop until you’re dead in the ground.

Your family sucks ass and you can 100% leave them. You wouldn't baghold a dying shitcoin so why would you baghold your family. Taking credit cards out in their childs name is subhuman nigger-tier behaviour and if you haven't already gotten the fuck out after that then I can't see you doing it next year either. Just get steady income coming in and try to do music on the side and get the hell away from them as soon as you can. You owe them fucking nothing.

if your dad took out CC's in his name steal from him
unironically
I sacrificed alot for my family (my mom was very sick and is now dead). On my end I don't have any regrets, my parents have money so I was supported. I gave up my time for no ROI taking care of my mother and helping my dad with his business affairs.
While I feel resentment towards my siblings because they did nothing and only took from my parents, I made out well.
In your case you need to switch your frame of reference to only care about yourself anon.
It'd be one thing if they didn't treat you like shit, but they did.

here's the hard truth with OP's cry for attention in this thread. He's a useless, weak, spineless person who cannot stand up or think for himself.

None of this would've happened had you "man" up and do what YOU want to do. Ok you fucked up in the past, now what? Same shit is happening yet you ain't doing shit about it. You are destined to be a pushover it's in your blood.

Like your family, you and them will never learn and don't deserve any sympathy. 5 years later you will end up exactly where you are right now because you are quite useless. Mark my word

Thanks but my loss was also a happy moment, my mom was an addict who showed no sign of recovering. Alcohol ruined her body, though I believe the vax did her in (she died suddenly about a week or two later)
And for clairification when I say I made out well. I will get an equal inheritance from my parents that my siblings get. While not mad, its unfair that my siblings got to start their own life and build relationships and wealth while I did nothing but sacrifice and we will get rewarded the same. But I could've been born into the situation poor with no inheritance and I would've done the same. And there are millions of kids in the foster system who would kill for what I had.
With that said, at a minimum you owe your dad nothing. If he did what you say he was an outright bad father.
Further you owe your siblings nothing, while I appreciate the love you have for them, its time they started supporting themselves. IMO you should only support those still not passed college.
It doesn't seem any of my above advice will help with as you are looking for meaning.

I disagree with you. We don't know how OP was supporting his family. He could have a family member with needing assistance with end of life care or something dastic and he is heavily relied on. Leaving the situation would make him a nigger in my book, which if you say no then it is obvious what you are. Other than that I don't believe OP, he had free time in parts of his day which he could've honed a skill.

I think so, in my mind, my peers spent their best years slaving away at uni for 5 years and then immediately spent 40 hours per week working. All to what?

Sounds like you let this happend.

You can explain yourself a hundred ways, but ultimately what you suffer is determined by how your choices. Attachment is the issue here, become detached so you find out as an individual what is right and wrong and not be caught in the vice of other peoples drama.

You seem like a slightly airheaded day dreamer type, so get some discipline through training in life, it provides you with focus.
