Or you can be a slacker, not make any money, and your kids can live in a shitty apartment in the ghetto. I'm sure they'll understand.
That's basically where we're headed anyways.
I think you got to spend too much online if this is the mental attitude you have. There's tons of opportunity and good jobs and unemployment is crazy low right now. Like I said, get yourself a skill or a trade and there's a shit pile of money to be made and as much work as you're willing to do. I mean it took me and most of my friends into our forties to really accumulate anything, but I feel like the people on here think they should be rich or that every boomer was rich in their thirties. That's very bizarre and a big disconnect from the reality that it actually was for many
Or you can bust your ass and live in an apartment in the ghetto because no one wants to pay a living wage anymore.
Get a skill that pays well. Only takes a few years.
Just jump off the ladder and start over! Surely this time things will work out for you!
Went through three distinct careers in my work time. Needed to stay up with the times.
So have I. Every move has been to something that I was assured would have great pay. My current job has taken me the furthest after several promotions. It's still not paying enough to do what I want. I'm too old to start at the bottom again on another false promise.
Yeah unfortunately once you hit a certain age your stuck as nobody will hire old guys unfortunately
