Im 34...

The key is in doing things that make you feel better about yourself. This isn't a matter of money. You need to gain confidence.

Get good at something, anything. Don't be a sad sack, watching other people's accomplishments from the sidelines. Find something you can excel at, and ride that high. Could be a hobby, some new skill, whatever. Then, as your confidence builds, you can start facing new challenges and making progress elsewhere. Women, money, etc will all take care of itself, but you need to learn to love yourself first.

thanks anons

also this is a finance thread because im asking how to get rich. thanks jannies

bro 37 comes fast.
t. same but 37 now

I’d be willing to bet those friends that are doing better are actually in debt and their life is all a facade. I learned over the years the friends that are ‘doing well’ are doing it in appearance only and are highly leveraged to keep up the appearances. Don’t be surprised if your 200k is more than their entire networth.

Me neither. Couldn’t care less since 2020. Why give a shit about ClownWorld and everyone that still buys into it.

Guy has 200k and a roof over his head, still complaining like if he was begging on the street wtf. I have 1% of what you have and making a whiny bitch thread like you just did never ever crossed my mind, stop being a faggot

He can drop that into CHEESE and be rich ina little time

only 200k

Based Cheeser

Its all blessed; chill in it.

I'd say, before you give up. expand your horizons. that 200K in savings could compound and you'd live very well, in another country. Not bumming/NEET but working a part time or a creative job. But actually with intentions about participating in your life. Leading to: then you living your best life by exploring what is being yourself. This compounds and lets those around you find confidence to be themselves as well. Look into philosophy and psychology, value the lessons and insights. Thinkers have thought about topics more than you. This gives you a head start in your mental development, learning gives life. Go talk to a therapist as often as you need, you'll find your own schedule. Discuss your traumas, discover your limiting frameworks. ......brother, if we all do so, we asterisk humanity's history as before therapy & after therapy. Understand your ego: best explained as your childhood protection, hear it. But let it lose its control of your drive. You are growing and are no longer afraid of who you are.

Money comes and goes, don't measure your life by it. treat yourself, travel with it, grab that bands t-shirt you love. express yourself as a work of art. Value your time and relationships. Don't do nothing you're not "hell yeah" about. Figure out which books help fill your mental potholes. Find friends who help paint the path with you. Love yourself as #1 law.

& it wont get any easy. It's fucking scary to admit you have full control of your life. You rediscover your ephemeral timeline. Meditate, read Daoist poetry, learn about nature and art. Stretch out, deeeeeep stretches and massages seem to work to nut out forgotten traumas. I like to remind, the idiot badass humans who built pyramids and charted the stars. How wildly crazy that is for our smoothbrained lifestyles.

Mate, that's us here. That's the same brain.

Its all good mate, you're not so special nor you're not so lame.

Its all blessed; chill in it.

34 years old

still thinking about high school

yikes.

only 200k

I wanted to say something homophobic but good luck anon

Kek. I’m 29 and was thinking about how unpopular I was the other day. But thanks for reminding for me how pathetic that is.

you don't have to live life in any given way. marriage and kids are optional. and desu I personally don't want either of them. I just want to enjoy myself while I'm here and make ends meet while doing that

this is true

for me, I genuinely do enjoy when I have a female companion, but they are few and far between and I don’t really care about normalfag shit like marriage and cars and houses, I would like a waifu though

don't compare yourself to others. Compare yourself only to the yourself of the past.

It doesn't matter how slow you move, as long as you never stop.

Two of my classmates have died in car wrecks. Several others are in prison for meth.

I just turned 34 as well and still listening to my parents cuss each other out at the top of their lungs while hiding in my bedroom with $60k in crypto, ofc never had a gf, still virgin. I have no idea what went wrong, how did it turn out so bad?

you have the chance to turn that 60k in lifechanging money this bull run. then you can buy your own shit. i believe anon

I'm glad to hear it all worked out by the end of the post.
What triggers the seizures?
It's true. I was a very confident guy in highschool and good a bit after, but I worked some bad shit work jobs, it screwed my sleep habits and I let my social life drift away. I had a sad 5 years, but turned my life around entirely. Going to university, doing social activities through it like making a tv for the public access channel, making friends again. I re-found my spark, got a well paying, great conditions career with the degree and started a cute family.
I've got a few regrets like not just pursuing my passions as a career, but I'm happy and in those dark days I was pretty sure that was something of which I'd ceased to be capable.
This varies. To a degree it's just sour grapes, but there are some workmates I've got with higher up roles than me with mortgages and new cars or whatever that eat it all up. My wife and I have no expensive tastes, except maybe my PC and VR gaming. Otherwise it's second hand cars, home cooked meals etc.
Comfy post. Even if I'm anti therapy or the premise of retail therapy burning through savings.

ofc never had a gf, still virgin. I have no idea what went wrong

Did you ever ask a girl out in high school?

Buy LILY bros. Probably the only biz coin that is being ran correctly.

doesn't this attitude kinda fall apart as you get older and your body decays?

High school was shit, I was just trying to stay alive and away from my bullies, I was a fat and slow kid and wasn't popular at all.

Hiding in your bedroom like a child instead of going out into the world like a grown man isn’t going to help

But where am I supposed to go apart from work? Shit is expensive and every time I go out I bleed out hundreds of dollars and it makes me unhappy.

Go punch your dad. It'll make you a man.

I was just trying to stay alive and away from my bullies,

There is the crux of your problem. If you would have punched your bullies square in the face or at least kicked them in the balls, you would have realized they weren't shit. Your inability to tackle your problems head on is what has turned you into a 30 year old virgin.

I was a fat and slow kid and wasn't popular at all.

And what did you do about this? Nothing, I presume. I gained some weight in middle school and a couple kids made fun of me for it. So what did I do? Did I cry about it and avoid the problem? Play video games in the basement all day every day? No. I started working out and got ripped. I was the only boy in the beginning of high school who was shredded and had six-pack abs. I lost my virginity at 14 because of it. Don't shy away from your problems. Face them like a man. Not even trying to be an asshole, I just want you to realize that these problems are of your own design. Your own parents wouldn't have told you to start fucking as a teenager. But that's what pretty much everyone else you know in your life figured out they needed to do on their own, without their parents' guidance. Now your parents are probably getting into fights with each other because they have a manchild in his mid-30s mooching off them with no prospects at all. Grow some balls or end up being found dead next to their corpses by social workers in 20 years.

Do you work out? What about traveling somewhere now and then? Or try moving out of your parent’s house. Even if you get roommates you’ll at least some social interaction with peers

I just turned 34 as well and still listening to my parents cuss each other out at the top of their lungs

How the fuck are they not divorced after what I'm guessing is 34+ straight years of arguing like that?

I took the home gym pill and all in on crypto pill.
It sounds bad but I have been spending time in the last decade putting in effort to get me out of this rut. Went from NEET to min wage retail into studying comp sci and into a software dev role, I split my income into crypto and a business my dad started with some of his friends. Unfortunately my dad got backstabbed and pressured out of the company incurring a total loss of the money I contributed.
I really, really hope so...
Codependence I guess, my mom is the type to scream and threaten but then chicken out when going through with threats, same with my dad. Deep down they may know if they get divorced shit just hits the fan the older they get.

many of the people who seem well off are actually broke and pretending, yeah they may have kids but you probably have more money than them, it isnt too last kernal sanders started KFC in his elder years. Youre not doing that bad

I really, really hope so...
