anyone who says, "you're only 22, don't worry too much" probably isn't accomplishing much of significance.

you should have anxiety about establishing yourself... you're a grown man. no one is going to coddle you being a black man the way your other millenial counterparts are.

for me, your 20s is all about setting the baseline for power moves and stability into your 30s... most my nikkas in their mid-20s are already clearing six figures :dame:

elevate your mind and elevate your circle if you're serious.

I agree. You gotta use your 20s to hustle and put yourself in a position where you're living stable in your 30s and up. It's easier to take risks and make moves while you're young. :manny:

I feel like I'm wasting mines too.

I was just asking my sister how is it that people my age can afford trips to Greece & etc? :why: What am I doing wrong?
I had this thought the other day. WTF do these CACs be doing?

People I went to HS with are STUNTING

Vacations monthly, living in ridiculously expensive cities all while having mediocre degrees

yup. You gotta start grinding while you're young. I'm the same age as OP and have developed the worse anxiety about my future. Gotta grind now because lord knows Connor, Fernado and Ling-Ling are

I felt the same way my final semester of college. All those years of knowing exactly where I'd be in the next 6 months (back in the classroom) and then suddenly than certainty was gone. Felt like staring into an abyss cause I didn't have a job lined up prior to graduation. I ain't know where I'd be. Things turned out fukkin marvelous though :blessed:

Yeah college makes you too comfortable. Once you get out into the real world you have to forge your own path. That's when a lot of young people start to falter. :francis:

I watch black girl vloggers on youtube and these girls are going on vacations, "baecations," & living it up on white sanded beaches.

I be legit baffled by this too. I see people even younger than me stunting

I get excited when I can muster up enough money to ball out at California Pizza Kitchen & Forever 21.com . I've never been on a vacation before.

:leostare: I hate my life.

Im 29, focus on education/career/life passion. Women should be last in your priority. Always use a condom, getting the wrong woman pregnant is long life L that is hard to come back from.
I think about this everyday.....especially after I left one go.....

The Truth
20 blew by
21 blew by

Now I'm 22 and I feel like I should be doing more but Idk what :francis:

Don't wanna wake up and be 30 and look back like wtf did I even spend them doing? :mjcry:
You only 22:what:



Man shut your youngass up.... You haven't even been old enough to do shyt, travel the world, or even experience the different shyt in your own city to act like you wasted anything :martin:

30 isnt even that old. You can still enjoy shyt as much then as you do when you're 20.


You better do it now before you're 40 with debt, kids, and regrets

Or it could be that their CAC parents are providing their children with finical support. There was thread on here that stated how CACs, Chinese, Indian, parents are letting their grown children live under their roofs and pay their rent, school, etc. While they build their wealth and pass it down to their children. While black children are kicked out of their parent's household at an early age to build for themselves.

Just focus on yourself and find what you want to do in life.
