The debtor is always slave to the lender. Buy a house. This is your home base. Build. Become self sustainable in as many ways as possible. After you pay off all your debt, after you have spent time building your business on the side, after you have a house, then you can put the money you aren't putting into investments (usually 15% of income) into doing your business full time. Now you have a home base, an investment portfolio, a sustainable lifestyle, a business that you are in control of that you enjoy, and a new path.

Within this time get a wife. Have kids. When you die, so do all your gay memories you have. If you're just a single fukking ******* your whole life thinking your "the most interesting man in the world," you'll die alone. You're memories and life will never be remembered. But if you do something along the lines of what I posted above, when you die, your memories and stories will live through your kids, your home and assets will be passed down and help out your family, your knowledge and business will be passed down, and the cycle will continue. Your life would actual be worth a damn rather than being a basement dwelling masturbator that whines on forums doing nothing productive for himself or anyone else, and dies alone with no soul ultimately wasting the potential of life your parents gifted you.
I'm so happy your back here and posting srs. This is the type of wholesome content we need on the misc.

Cheers bro.
Awesome pics. Great size. Look thick. Solid. Tight. Keep us all posted on your continued progress with any new progress pics or vid clips. Show us what you got man. Wanna see how freakin' huge, solid, thick and tight you can get. Thanks for the motivation.

Anything you want, set new goals and places to go. Concert and bars is not all there is to life. It's OK to be lost sit down and write out what you want to do and attack the list. I read books, entertainment, keep up with politics, read about space discoveries/science. I want to live to see what is to come what we as humans discover, I am learning instruments, love to read, entertainment dont' mind watching movies and tv shows every now and then. All I know is I want to live I could care less about what other's are doing compared to me by age. Life is not a book you dn't do this and this and this ... step 1 concerrts and bars ok now i'm 30 what is step 2 guys? no man that is not life.

If anything you can dedicate the rest of your time to helping unfortunate people if there is truely nothing you desire or want to do. There is kids with cancer, people suffering with no legs, arms, etc. That could use your help, perhaps some story telling, motivation /friend. Charity work to help people who are hungry, etc.
I just want to share the knowledge I have obtained throughout my life and hopefully change someone's life.

but to answer your question I've managed to make it this far without crippling student loan debt, or a child so I count myself ahead of the pack. I'm 8 years into my career, making the 6 figures which is cool but trying to life max.

Instead of looking to become a wage slave all my life, I've buckled down and acquired some high end certifications, and I'm going to put an entrepreneur spin on my IT skills to become a consultant. Done properly I can charge between $150 to $250 an hour. It's all about optimal work life balance. I like snowboarding, riding horses and speaking french so i sprinkle all of that in on the side.

Snowboard vacation twice a year, try to ride horses whenever i can, and the french part is daily since i'm apart of a French Alliance group.

20's is all about degeneracy, being reckless and being young enough to recover from your mistakes. 30's is about taking the career that you (hopefully) began to develop in your 20's and becoming the head honcho at it WHILST also pursuing the things that you find fun. And I mean the things you truly enjoy doing. not just the chit that involves sl00ts

A lot of people talk about self employed consulting. How do you get started in it? Learn as much knowledge as possible then get your name out for clients?

Great read.

Truth be told though, some of us don't give a damn about legacy or passing on our memories. We just want to punch our very own ticket in the best way possible and maybe leave a footprint or two somewhere.

Unpopular opinion: men were not made to live that long. You were supposed to fuk bishes, spread your seed while you were in your prime and then die in a war or trying to hunt a mammoth for your tribe.

Now you gotta live in an age where none of that is needed and your life is prolonged just so you can slave away staring at a computer screen for much longer.

This thread made me realize that worse than having a goal/dream and failing dozens of times is having no goals to begin with. Or such low tier degenerative goals such as the OP's "bars, music festivals, drinking, and recreational drugs" as they don't even count. Still can't believe how many people consider going to different bars and doing drugs an accomplishment? Hedonism will leave you unfulfilled in the end OP, as you've experienced. Try the opposite, do something selfless beyond yourself, something bigger than yourself. Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.

THIS

I honestly think a lot of my malaise is from not shipping off to war.

I believe to some extent that suicide for older men who have already fathered kids (or failed to do so) is a natural part of the life cycle.

Not at all. I love to play sports, exercise, travel, chase storms, go to metal concerts, go to sporting events, ride wave runners etc

If i had friends i would literally be outside all day unless it was super cold or hot out srs

I am not naive anymore and have experienced everything so i feel empty that is all
Obviously you haven't done everything...I'm sure there are even superficial experience you haven't done yet, but you sure haven't tried building a home/family.

Not that I'm judging, just pointing it out, I'm in the same boat. 39 never married, no kids...not something I brag about just the way life has unfolded so far. I'd like it, but if it doesn't happen there are still other things I enjoy and find fulfilling. If you have nothing to get excited about in your life, that's something that needs fixing, whether it's a girl, a dog, a hobby, or whatever. There's no wrong answer, only you know what moves you.
