I am under the assumption that I should have the following:
  1. A high-paying job or business (bringing in at least $75,000/year)
  2. A house
  3. A serious relationship
  4. A moderate level of fame
Is this realistic?

By 25? Man nah.

By 25 you just need to have:

No criminal history.
A college education or an intermediate level of skill in an acquired trade.
Should at least be making $35k (imo).
Hopefully no children out of wedlock.
A Roth IRA.
Ambition.

are these things possible ? yeah.. but very rare.. by 25 you should have a stable job, possibly your career. A house? this aint the 70s.. a house at 25 is possible but its extremely rare and if you live in NY or California even rarer

a serious relationship - that depends on the person..

fame :dahell:

I would say:

- you should have been out on your own for at least 1 year not including college if you chose to go, I mean paying rent and bills with a roommate or dolo
- you should have at least been in 1 serious adult relationship where you and the other person can learn to rely on each other outside of just the physical and emotional needs of your adolescent relationships
- you should have been able to save up enough money to either get a decent car, take an amazing trip, pay off a huge bill, or follow a true passion


the rest is really up to you and where you feel your life will take you (school, trade, etc) but I think everyone should be able to survive on their own, save a decent amount of money and spend it on themselves, and also be involved in an adult relationship with all the drama and baggage that comes with it.

1) the average household income is about 50K, Give or take a few thousand. If you making 35-40 at 25 your doing just fine. If you making 70k+ at 25 .......:salute:.......You ahead of the game

2) A lot of people will never own their own property. At 25, if you own your own property........once again......you ahead of the game. A lot of people have full time jobs, living at home with their parents to save money. At 25, if you live on your own, ( whether you own or rent) your doing fine.

3) At 25, I damn sure wasn't looking for no serious relationship. As long as your not socially awkward, and have some interaction with females you good.

4) :martin: Fame is a double edged sword. For all the positives fame brings, it brings a lot of negatives. I'd rather be a rich nobody, than be broke with a name.

24 wit it :jawalrus:


But really holding up your age to some accomplishment barometer don't make sense to me. I think that's an American thing, lotta cultures overseas you just try to find a passion and follow it, and the pace it takes to get there is just the pace.

Over here people make goals at the age of 21 about where they wanna be at 25, then are :sadcam: when it isn't exactly what they expected.


But I do got my one friend who just turned 25 and he's on his like 7th year of finishing college, just for a bachelor's:wow:
