For my INITIAL lack of success, sure.

So I went to college burned out and thinking I’d be fine just skimming by the rest of my life and am only just now at the end of my 20’s realizing I’ll be broke and perpetually in debt if I don’t stop collecting paychecks and start building real income.

Nah, my parents were both boomers and they spent our whole lives being financially focused and responsible despite making lower middle class money. My dad had to become the head of his family at about 30 or so when his dad passed and his brothers just started drifting through life, my mom was in a family of 8 who, despite being relatively well off, had to be very careful about spending.
All in all I lucked out big time with ky boomer parents, the most extravagant thing they ever bought was my dad’s motorcycle, which he maintained fairly well and sold after about 10 years of joyriding. Glad they’re doing well and they’re even willing to pay off my college loans since we all agree it was basically a massive waste of time that I could have spent doing something practical.

I hate you so much, I want to physically assault people like you

I was an A student, i was in AP classes, I wanted to be an architect. I worked so hard because my parents were junkies, I hated them and I wanted to make it even from a young age, my dad left and I found my mom dead when I came home from school at 14. My drunk aunt and uncle couldnt be bothered to take me to school often enough so I eventually had to drop out, abandoning everything I worked for. I moved out at 17 and got a job as a line cook at olive garden and daydreamed about what my life could have been. I learned Calculus, I took AP Bio, I was able to build a robot and code it's functions in C. I was probably one of the select few students who kept the lights on at that inner city dump. Every day I panned up some shrimp scampi I stared into the fire, thinking why me, why would God hate me like this? There isn't a god, because no god would ever allow this.

Eventually I swallowed any bit of negativity I had and started saving money like mad. I said I can do this, I can make my life better, I just have to want it.

Now I'm 30 and in 2 years I should finish my degree, and hopefully yearn to get into robotics. But this journey was not easy, in fact it was more difficult than 95% of the people I converse with on a daily basis are even capable of comprehending. I personally paid for my community college classes, out of pocket, no loans, because the loans are for the real deal, the university. The level of effort the past 13 years have taken is something people cannot even understand in conversation. I've been off and on homeless and sometimes I don't have a car and have to walk. The thing I have going for me is this life of hardship and struggle. Even if you get your shit together, don't bother, because when I get into that interview room, they'll remember me, they won't remember your fucking name.

I can never tell my parents how much I make or what my credit score is or they'll shit bricks, and it's not impressive at all. They just seem me as some "dumb naive kid"

Never finished college, never saved for retirement. Constantly buying lottery tickets, bills and bills that could fill up trash bags.

they definitely didn't sabotage me with any malicious intent, i just clearly have really lazy, pathetic parents that never had any ambition themselves

so when it came to growing up, there was no support or encouragement to pursue anything myself; even talking to them about anything i like they barely pay attention, just the kind of people that are incapable of having any conversation with that isn't about whatever boring shit happened at work; dinner times were always dead silent as a result

having no guidance or support made me a bit of a late bloomer, i ended up going to college only a few years ago and i'm almost 30; i realised that i definitely didn't want to live like them though, no excuses, no scrolling through bullshit on my phone all day and feeling sorry for myself "oh i don't feel like it today, i've worked hard enough lately!" none of that bullshit, i only get older by the minute and then i'm dead, why sit around doing fuck all?

i know for a fact that if i have children i'll be ensuring they pursue something, and try multiple things in efforts to find something that may really stick with them and give them purpose; i don't care if it inconveniences me or costs money, if i ever have children i will make sure their youth is full of creative exploration

i wouldn't say my parents are evil or that i hate them for what they did, but i know that they are a burden due to their own laziness and cutting them out is a necessity; otherwise they'll only continue asking for money
