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

I got laid off from my first job out of college then was a neet for 7 months then I got a cooshy job by just lying. You can always just skip ahead

Those young professionals almost always come from money regardless so it's already a lost cause. But just remember half of them will get married and lose half of it in a divorce, or their siblings will get the inheritance etc. I have relatives sitting on a 7 figure inheritance and did jack shit their entire lives

I made the fatal mistake of believing that you could "do what you love and the money will follow". If I could go do it all over again I would just pick whatever makes the most money.

It's called putting in work, faggot.

>> No.55641625

So what's your point? Just give up making more money because you made it later, and suffer like the boomers in their 50s/60s working retail right now?
I travelled across Canada one summer and met many farmers and small business owners in their 50s raising a family with their 20-30s wife. They didnt get there by giving up.

And people wonder why I 125X leverage trade crypto..... you stupid fucking idiot, thats literally the only way for me to catch up


You'll find most people giving advice here are actually the people youre talking about OP, the ones who made it the normal way, so they tell us (the ones who fucked up in life) to follow their path, as if we can follow their fucking path

NO we fucking cant, we fucked up, so our only way of catching up is EXTREMELY HIGH RISK shit such as using massive leverage.

So yeah, basically. I am either going to make it leverage trading, or die trying. Simple fucking as.

The end result is me brutally mogging those who made it the normal way, or its just remaining as I have always been, a poorfag. Either way, its the only choice I have of making it.

I know man, it sucks. I'm almost 30 with no career. I've come to the point where I'm studying for some IT certs, and I'm just gonna boldface lie on my experience to get a better job and skip helpdesk/bitchwork to catch up to people my age.

I was smug in my early-mid 20s having a nice LINK stack, had 700k at one point, but lets see how holding those bags turned out..

that's what parenting is for
if you ended up on a bad 'trajectory' you had no parents, negro daycare pedo trannies would have made better parents than whatever you had

To be fair you didn't need to min-max to "make it" in the previous generations, thats a new thing now, how could they teach you about min-maxing when it wasn't even a requirement, they just existed and achieved what is considered "making it" today

>> No.55642069

>>55641385
Yeah, if you didn’t have a good trajectory, you have no obligation to anyone and should try making this world worse for abandoning you. This is the prevailing ethos

yeah it honestly helps to have a immigrant parent from Asia or someplace like Uruguay or Argentina.

They had to work hard to get here and start a career so they would die before letting you become a minimum wage loser.

American cracker parents don't give a fuck if their kids never figure out a trajectory unless they are some ultra wealthy WASP family

>>55642067
as far back as entering the work force in the early 90's you already needed to min max.

Without rich parents independent 90's couples needed a dual income of combined 150k+ and then saving most of it and living like peasants to build a decent living and inheritance for a kid

brother my parents don't own a house (may never will, unless I give them a down payment) and I was never in one school for more than 3 years. went to 4 high schools. don't give me that crap. I make 60K at 20 years old. granted my parents love me but my childhood was far from stable.

>> No.55642123

>>55642111
see this is what happens when people just shit out kids without decades of planning and a dual income. Even if OP and his parents love one another showing they are decent people there is some bitterness about his unstable childhood

>> No.55642145

>>55642123
what I'm saying is that the "bad trajectory" is mostly the kid's fault. maybe you need loving parents with tough love, cause that's what I had, but ultimately it's in the hands of the individual. I saw a bunch of middle income people who had more money than my family do nothing with their lives thus far and just complain and play vidya all day.

>If you were not on a good life “trajectory” in your late teens/early 20’s it becomes 10x harder to make it.
FUD. You could've been put on an even gayer trajectory by circumstance. Imagining the alternatives you could've taken is retarded if it's not for educational. Nothing would ever have worked out perfectly the way you imagine them.
> 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
Fuck other people they are just gayer version of me. Disadvantages are the worthiest challenges. If reincarnation is real and we get to pick then i'm choosing strife over leisure every time. Rolling for deafness and blindness so i don't have to hear faggots like you or read their gay posts.
>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.
Just do better if you're going for the career route. Better to businessmaxx and make other 30yo faggots like you compete for my approval. Unless you're getting paid a shit ton wfh or some shit. In which case yami.
>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 i'll still overtake them with less effort and greater speed than you previously thought was possible. Watch me faggot.
>compound interest means they probably are sitting on a huge nest egg by this time.
No, you're clearly sitting on a huge fucking dildo you massive faggot OP. It's clearly a squirter and you filled the tube with hot sauce and that's why you're so fucking butthurt.
>Holy shit life is so gay
No, that's just your reflection.
Life is awesome because i make it so.
