if you are 30 years old, you are older than most pro athletes

Your bday is in 1994 or 1993. So is the guy on the NFL team making 5 million a year

As a kid, we would aspire to be like them at that age

And now? We are older than them with nothing to show

No, that was you. I aspired to be an engineer as a kid.
When it comes your time to die, be not like those whose hearts are filled with the fear of death, so that when their time comes they weep and pray for a little more time to live their lives over again in a different way. Sing your death song and die like a hero going home.

I never aspired to be a pro at anything, since I was aware that I lacked the talent.

Also, good on them for making 5 million - I hope they spend it wisely.

Lets be honest, they won't.

Most will go broke by 40 and the next time you see them they're starring in T-Mobile and car insurance commercials that air after some daytime soap opera

If they spend it wisely and remain grounded and humble, that won't be an issue.

Just like the people who win the lottery and the ruin their life - there's defiantely the smart person who just buys a few houses, invests the rest and continues working (for themselves or an employer).

They're the exception, not the norm.

To be honest, I don't blame the ones that splurge their millions down the drain. They were never taught about money management, took the easiest classes imaginable in HS/College just to stay in good academic standing so they can continue to practice football and were suddenly given $1million/year at the age of 21 which is more money than they've ever seen in their life and they probably believe it would be impossible to spend it all...until they do. If I was in their shoes and given that much money at such a young age i'd probably waste it on stupid frivolous chit too.

You don't have to be educated to be good with money, you just need to be grounded and humble and you'll naturally make the right decision.

So many mfs out here spending money they DON'T have, what you think they gon do with money they DO have? Fr fr

Focusing on such things is bad for the psyche and mental health OP. Das not it mane.

Heart throb Harrison Ford didn't make it big till he was around 34, srs, when he got the Star Wars: A New Hope role for Han solo (which happened by chance because he was a builder for a construction project for George Lucas' friend). Prior to that he was in side acting roles, working as a carpenter to pay the bills to afford the CoL with his wife + 2 kids at the time.

If you're feeling like you've wasted too much of your time, just be like Harrison Ford. Keep aspiring for more success, keep dreaming, and do things (like eating healthy and exercising) to assist with your own prosperity.

Yeah or accept that you're not going to be rich and famous and live your life as best as you can anyway. Sh!t liike acting and modelling are side gigs for 99% of poeple.

As they say, don't quit your day job..

Should be thinking about finalising the tour srs

Nothing good happens after 30 srs only exceptional cases

Your body starts to accumulate to much toxins that affect health

You’ve done all the good experiences nothing is new & exciting anymore

With the changes in society you start to realise how your not impressed with anything

Obviously if your IQ >80 its great
