I just turned twenty five, where should I be in my life currently

[old_timer]

it's hard to list where someone should be at 25 because we have no idea where you started from or what your abilities are-
but in general, here are a few small ideas of how to build from 25 up to 30 years old

1. friends/associates - for anyone to be around me, they need to have some basic stability and some kind of goals
2. career - start taking it seriously, but the plan to move forward depends on the specifics
3. women - don't date reckless women
4. health - start eating right, working out to stay fit
5. reputation - keep a clean cut appearance, don't always let everyone know what you are thinking, be careful with your word (promises)
6. finances - try to save 15% worth of gross pay each year (a lot depends on the specifics)
7. self-defense - evaluate risks, be ready for top 3-5 or so most anticipated threats (which could mean anything from how to use a firearm to being ready for a hurricane, etc.)
8. self-improvement - set aside 2-3 hrs/wk to keep growing (it can be spiritual, or reading a book each month on different subjects, etc.)

whether you are a civil engineer or stock shelves for a living, those eight ideas basically apply

this is only my opinion

Your own place, a car and a descent job.

As far as the job like dude said before me you must at least be entry level in your career or currently in college aiming toward getting a degree for your career.

I'd say you should be just about entering a point in life where you understand that you will proceed through life at the pace that is comfortable for you, and you will own/save/invest according to what you think is right for you, rather than what people who don't know you or your situation tell you

It's trite and corny but you should be right the fukk where you are.

Your 20's are for figuring out who the fukk you are. As long as you're making some progress, have goals, and are living your life, you're doing just fine.

The simple fact that you are the type of person that would even say "I'm 25, where should I be?" means that you're ahead of the curve. People that aren't shyt at 25 don't ask these types of questions.

I over worried at 25 and it actually set me back. Just work hard, play hard, and the less permanent and possible negative life-altering decisions that you can make, the better.
