I’m 22 years old….and I think now more than ever your 20s are the most important years to set yourself up fosho.

I just got accepted to an X-ray program at my college. By the time I’m done I’ll be 24 and on my way to making money and eventually move up to another modality that will pay more, all before the age of 30. Meanwhile a brotha my same age who’s bullshytting and not doing anything of note to improve his life will end up lagging behind.

With the increasing cost of living you can’t play in your 20s anymore, it sucks ass but it is what it is.:manny:

It is indeed critical. If you can get a head start, and get your life together by 20/21, you’ll likely be far ahead of your peers, once you’re in your late 20’s/early 30s. Especially these days, when everything is harder than it was 15/20 years ago.

Critical.

I’m glad even at my low points I always had a hunger to learn and improve myself in some way. My mental health and confidence has dramatically increased since 18 and my skills/knowledge blow old me out of the water.

The crazy thing about being mad young is that you don’t even realize the grace period that your in life wise. You can make mistakes, and take chances with little consequence. I remember panicking at 19 thinking I missed out and realize now, how retarded I must have sounded to the older people in my life.

The scariest thing about getting older to me is committing to a life path. I like the career I’ve chosen (software) but I Low-key wish I pursued computer engineering instead of computer science in college. I also regret not focusing on mathematics too, I’m trying to relearn a lot of the calculus/linear algebra I forgot.

Youth is a cheat code but it’s fleeting and you might not realize that until it’s too late.

18-25 is an extremely important time for a young man. If I were fukking around in those ages, I would be where I'm at today.

Granted, I started getting on track when I was 22, but couldn't imagine trying to figure shyt out at 30

Nah you can be a high school drop out go back to school and get your GED at 25 and go to community college and eventually go to a traditional college. You would be "behind" but your life would be on track.

I think 25 plus is critical.

Time of my life

The core of my adult personality was formed during that period. The only additions have been more doubt and more self imposed boundaries.

Those years were peak "me". When I knew enough to get to the other side of the map and back but I didn't know enough to just stay home. I went out and did everything I could.

All the great mistakes happened then as well. Being careless with that woman who followed you through knee deep grime. Missing out on life changing opportunities because of upside down priorities. Poor money handling.

Yes. Critical. But it might be impossible to do it "right".

If you skip the adventure part, you'll never recapture that. You'll pay a young woman to whisper sweet nothings, but you won't have the actual experience of a hot and ready young woman being on you cause she can't keep her hands off. The difference is a universe apart

And if you mishandle the business part you'll never catch back up. No matter how far you get, you'd be twice as far if you'd done the exactly right things at the right moments.
