I pretty much lost my only shot, right? Do I just give up on money at this point and stop living in a nice neighborhood and pretending, and just move to some impoverished area and try to be happier?

I think you're doing pretty good. Doctors are soulless and greed-driven people.

Thanks anon, first replies of kindness are rare these days.

sounds like you had multiple "shots" and you messed them all up.

your life is gonna suck until theres lots of excess money floating around. happens every 10-20 years. save up, maybe start a business, and position yourself for that

Yes I suppose I messed up all my shots, that's true.

>>56026220
I knew someone would say this but why the fuck is all I can think about escaping the wage cage if my life is so great? I'm not saying I don't have some great things, my kids are incredible for example. But it's weird to think about that for the next 40-50 years I'm just going to be some depressed shell of a human putting on a face for my kids until they're like 30 and see the world for what it really is and hopefully are in a better financial position than I am.

I'm 24, permastuck in wealth because I live in a country with 2 boomers per one of me and all my money is being stolen in taxes, will never own anything, will never have kids either, by the time I maybe have some wealth my nation will have been replaced by Indians and I am become a turd in clown world
Hopefully you feel better now. Now shut the fuck up and stop complaining before I decide that 600 dollars for a handgun and the nearest boomer household ripe for the picking is cheaper than a 130 year mortgage

That's where you fucked up.
You're supposed to go all in and die in poverty just like every other artist before you.

Mechanical engineer here, worse off than you and supporting a family and it’s stressful. I can’t drop out of working for 8 years to study medicine since my family depends on me so all I can do is carry on and tell my kids to do better than me. Even a physician assistant who sucks doctor cock all day makes 2x what I make. My midwit sister in law with rich parents is one. I’m gonna tell my kids they need to become doctors when they grow up. If they succeed I can maybe retire if they buy my groceries and pay my utility bills otherwise it’s over.

wife issue lmao
you always have time, but man, waiting almost 20 years to reconsider your life is too much
even I'm in a hurry with the fact that I'm about to turn 30 and I'm still squeezing as much as I can out of every duck race
