Without going into too much detail…
- 21
- Dropped out of Uni (ie. I’ve started falling behind ‘the pack’)
- Still living with my parents (have lived alone for periods)
- Frustrated, have been repeating the same mistakes and life is currently going in a loop.
- Not fully settled on a specific career
- Thinking of a couple of nuclear options I could try to move things on.
I want to know if I have reason to stress or if I should just give it time and enjoy the ride. Seeing as any sort of renewed degree-pursuing will eat up another several years starting anew from square one.
Edit: Thanks for all of this life advice everyone. It is genuinely really reassuring
Two kids. I live in Canada and have a disability so I don’t have to pay for school, which I know is a big advantage. I paid for my first diploma myself, though, without any loans or grants. I worked through high school and of course after and saved the money. I also got married (and had no wedding) and we used the gift money to pay for school. Had our first kid while living with my grandmother and paying her mortgage for her. I was 30 when I finally moved out into my own place. Before that we lived with my grandmother, before that my inlaws, and before that with my dad.
I took the long road but I have a house now and that mortgage is my only debt.
