At 28, where should I be in life?
>Financially
>Romantically
>Socially
>Accommodation
>Career
I was home schooled and have done literally nothing since high school, and I mean literally nothing. I loved school. The lesson plans, the assignment due dates, the semester outline. After school no-one told me what to do. I had to go from following plans to running my own life and I never did. I hate that. I just want someone to tell me what to do in life and I put my head down and do it..

There are no hard and fast rules for any of this stuff. Just keep moving forward. Enroll at your local community college.
Go work for Amazon
It depends where you are rn and where you want to be.
As a 28 year old neet in the same boat I am monitoring this thread
25 here, trying to start a music business. Failing but I'm trying
try a side job and then think about college for something better, its only important to keep moving forward, as this feeling of progress will bring you personal satisfaction
Carrer + Financially, fuck the rest and fuck romance. It's just a chemical response in your brain
Definitely depends. If you live in Canada, you should go work in the Alberta oil fields, you can make good money starting out. Thats what you should be doing, getting a job that makes decent money, putting your head down, and saving money. You should focus on self-improvement, you should become obsessed with it. Of course you're not going to do anything, because You'll just forget about this thread in a day. Wish you the best
At 28 you should be suffering in hell. That's all this place is.
Canada is absolutely fucked. I'd honestly feel worse living there than western Europe.
It isn't all bad. There are nice places everywhere, Alberta for example, which is why I mentioned it
Highly depends on location and other factors. I'm 28 and just going through college. I spent my 20's fucking around but I don't regret it. I'd probably be considered behind by most people, but I'm actually ahead of most of my peers that I grew up with.
user, that chemical bullshit in your brain is more real than money and wagecucking. It's all bullshit anyways.
Im 31 years old and I have never seen a vagina in real life.
Ask me anything.
>where should I be in life?
not here, thats for sure
I don't even know what Alberta is. It sounds like on of the most commonly expressed Canadian territories after Ontario.
It's the Texas of Canada. Conservative, oil rich, lots of young people, relatively cheap. I plan on moving there after I finish uni
Do you ever wonder what women even are? How can a man love something which so closely resembles a beast?
Haha, just take your serotonin, goy.
>Financially
Making enough you can afford your rent and bills and stull enjoy your hobbies
>Romantically
In a real life, close distance relationship
>Socially
Work and non work friends, starting to br less active at bars and clubs, more active at "dinner dates" and bbqs.
>Accommodation
Own place or sharing*
>Career
Depends on your goals. If you want to be a certain thing like say managing director you should be actively moving up and nearing your goal.
*personally, unless its with a significant other i think house sharing is a con and you should just live with your parents. Much cheaper. After uni i moved back with my parents till me and my girl got a house together.
The fact that I, a foreigner who has no interest in Canada, has already heard the word Alberta, means its compromised. Even if you get 5-10 years out of it, you won't get to retire off it like our baby boomer counterparts.
I just realized I'm a normalfag. I used to be an incel, I only come here because it's a habit at this point. This thread made me realize I should probably just leave. If anyone wants to ask me anything about how I did it you can. After this I'm gone, I'm not a robot anymore and haven't been for years
I just know anyone is capable of being very good, virtious, loving, someone to look up to, someone who is nice and loves their opposite sex for more than clout and money.
Its just that in the 12th hour, women always make a hard turn towards degenercy.
Sounds nice and good, looks even promising what some women are doing and it gives me hope.
Until 11.59 then it all changes and men are all pigs agains so I better fuck this big strong pig atleast.
Idk man
I'm 28 also and while i wasnt homeschooled ive also never had a "normal" job.
i went to a good college and did internships but always had the same issue you describe. I did great on tests and assignments but whenever anything was open ended and self directed and not time limited i just fucked around and didnt do it.
I had such a bad experience from internships - not acutely awful jist mildly soul killing - that i had no interest in getting a job in what i majored in although i do like the field.
Got to pay the bills though, didnt want to move back with my parents, so i just got a foodservice job to pay the bills in my college apartment. I dont live some high flying lifestyle so it was plenty of money. And you know what? It was GREAT.
Nothing to worry about more than 2 hours into the future. No deadlines. No greater annoyance than "damn its busy today. At least ill get some tips though." Or "damn they didnt clean yesterday. Fuckers. Oh well." It felt really freeing. You go home and its just bliss. As long as you dont get all worries about "the fuuuutuuure" or whatever, its pure bliss. Smoke some weed, play some games, live that PERFECT 90s Philip J Fry lifestyle. Its a dream.
And the funny thing is, after a couple months working at a cafe, for the first time in my LIFE i actually had the energy and motivation to work on personal projects. To create. NEVER in 18 years of school did i ever actually work on anything for myself. Too much stress, too many plans, too much worrying about the future.
After about a year and a half of working at a cafe, i started making more money from my personal projects than my cafe paycheck. Thats not all that hard when youre only making $250 a week. Theres a million little patreons like that. Or etsy stores. Anything you actually have a passion for, DO IT. Thats the only thing youll actually have the drive to work at. Doesnt matter how silly or autistic. You have to do what you like or you will die sad.
Has all the negatives of western europe and the rent prices of west coast usa.
Honestly, not even takingg itno accout places like calgary, toronto, alberta, ontario etc, rent is fucking absurd.
i always had a good impression cause of this song youtube.com
I can't speak much for the socially and romantically parts, but this seems mostly correct from what I've seen with other people. You should also have gone through and survived your first real crisis (most people get it around 22-25) that had serious IRL consequences and had it change you. If not, then tough luck since it's very unlikely you could bounce back if you have it now.
oh go poop yourself. when the fun dries up there youll find something else to do. try to stop worrying so incessantly about the future and live for the present.
all this "planning for retirement", while i understand the worry, is just depressing and fucking boring. Why are you building your whole life around how youre gonna live the last 10-20 years of being sad and old?
We have social security and medicare, theyll never touch them because old people are the best voters, that means you have guaranteed income and care to get by after 65. Maybe not in the Ritz but who really cares, its enough to live in the boonies and watch the clouds go by.
I am begging you to be a little less worried. Buy a fancy car. Take out a big loan. Take a risk for once. You're so afraid of failure that you don't want to live.
LMAO Christ you are absolutely fucked and you're hoping it'll just work itself out like it did for the boomers. The reason it worked out for the boomers is because the passed the cost down to you and the next generation. They already used up your absolute last resort of passing the debt down to the zoomers. Have fun speaking Mandarin.
>We have social security and medicare, theyll never touch them because old people are the best voters, that means you have guaranteed income and care to get by after 65.
You have absolutely no idea what's coming, and it's going to hit you like the housing crisis hit everyone in their delusionally optimistic fat faces. America has reached the end of a major power's life expectancy for world reserve currency status and it shows.
