I have done alot of travelling, throughout the U.S., Canada, Europe, Asia & Africa.

We were conditioned to do it backwards, I'll explain below.
Looking at how the majority of Americans are struggling
I met this dude when I was working at 19.
I think I was moving in with a roommate or something and he was like "That's good man, good for you. Just take your time, live your life. Don't worry about chasing p*ssy or conquering the world. Don't worry about having kids or setting down. Right now, your young, you really do have the rest of your life ahead of you. You dobt realize how fast it's gonna go, but just chill, do you, do what you want to do then when your thirty worry about the other shyt. Worst thing that's gonna happen is your gonna get some chick pregnant, get married, get divorced, then spend the rest of your life trying to make sure your kid or kids are happy and fulfilled all the while trying to fulfill yourself and do the stuff you want to do or haven't done."
We had many talks and examples.

Because we live in a hyper consumerist and superficial society, a climate where social media promotes a level of material excess that most of your 30 year old peers can’t afford. If they severed their use of social media and humbled themselves, they would be a lot healthier and happier. Unless you use Instagram for business purposes, which I do, it will poison your mind and lead you to question your worth - and even when you’re utilizing it to market your business, you must still be vigilant and fend off the attitudes and behaviors use of it in any form will encourage. When you’re 35 or 45 and working a thankless security job when you used to be the man a decade or two ago, in a world where likes and followers are seen as markers of success, you really will start wondering if you should commit that.
Traveling on international trips that are just 5-10 days often don't feel as impactful as you're really just a tourist. You see some cool stuff and then dip. When you integrate there that's when you get more at of it, in my opinion.
Like someone else said, you reap in your 30s what you sow in your 20s. People that put more of an emphasis on social life and partying over education and career stability, and make irresponsible choice after irresponsible choice start to pay the long toll on those shyt choices. Having kids when they barely have the means to cover their own finances is no question most of their biggest regrets. No real career. struggling financially even if they happened to dodge the kid during your early 20s life altering bullet. if they did have a kid it’s even worse. Infinitely worse if they fukked around and had more than one kid. Honestly it just sounds depressing. Working dead end Or entry level jobs just to cover your day to day expenses and no energy to focus on better yourself and no time to try and better your education for a career move.
Yep. Mainstream culture has pushed your 20's as a time to live it up, but if you don't build a solid foundation, you're gonna be playing catch up in your 30s. I understand that people will get to where they get to, but I'd prefer to get there early rather than late.
If these people are depressed now in their 30s, if they don't change their trajectory then it'll be even worse in their 40s and 50s when the physical energy starts to fade.
Social media wasn’t even around when I was in college. You still had your folks who either didn’t bother with school, or who used it as a means to only party and chase p*ssy, rather than also get educated and network. I had friends who wouldn’t even sacrifice the social life for one night, too worried about what bar or house party to hit after the game rather than go study for the final. Decided what degree to try and get based on whether the classes were offered later in the day rather than early morning so they could sleep off the bender from the day prior. Inevitable end up failing out/dropping out, or fukked some broad drunk and didn’t strap up and lil Johnny’s due in 9 months and they are forced to get a job to take care of him and end up being drowned the next 18 years. Rinse and repeat for tens of thousands of folks over the years. Now in their 30s it hits hard they will be stuck in that life for untold years on end, all for a couple years of bad decisions and they realize they fukked up, big time
Bills & responsibility?
The devil always comes for his due.
The key to living past your 20s is not to peak in your 20s.
Your 30s is mostly paying for the wages on sins committed in your 20s.
No truer words have been spoken
Whenever you have that kid and you’re not ready it goes out
