Not getting married until 30 is fine. Most guys arent mature enough anyway. But I would question my life's goals if one of them was a car. But that's just me.

If you put 16 months of work into something and nothing had worked out, but you got a letter from yourself two months in the future saying it was all going to come together at month 18, would you keep going? Of course you would.

Keep going.

-Figure out early what is important; you cannot do this early enough
-Dont spend so much money on liquor. I could have bought a brand new SUV by now
-Pick a few things and do them well and stick with them, quit chasing random crap
-Select a career you love regardless of the money, cause you never know when you will be kicked to the curb, unless you want to be self-employed.
-You treat people like crap, you will get treated like crap. Expect it, and no cryin
-Eat right.
-Whats outside (aesthetic) is important, but whats more important is who you are inside (no whiteknight, just reality, deal with it)
-Insecure people always have to have someone/something else to blame. Dont be that guy.

(More later, and BTW no amount of rage on your part will change the validity of my words):
I'm turning 20 soon.

Thanks for the advice, gramps

I should have picked a better major in school (Auto CAD). Advice = Pick something that has a lot of upside potential. The market is saturated right now with a lot of good people out of work. Otherwise life is REALLY goodScreenwriting is going really well, its just such a sloooooowwwww process.

10/10 thread brah srs. Got you on rc.

Right now I feel so trapped. Left my home country when I was very young, forgot my native language by half. Also wasted 6 years in college and going for at least one more, in a sht major I never wanted (translation). Now feel like college is an obstacle to my life. I wanted to be a military personnel whole my life; but never believed in myself that I would make it there. Now I do, but feeling like I'm kinda late. I'll be like 26-27 when I join military if everything goes according to the plan. First I have to finish school, relearn german all again and settle in germany again. Felt too stressed right now, and if I dont make it, I will end up a FA 9-5 office boy with no hobbies and no time.

Didnt want to bother you with my problems, just wanted to share.
