is it me or after u turn 25 life gets real, I feel like Im losing my mind
- Thread starter DrX
- Start date
Real shyt breh, that's my ultimate plan. I'm setting things up right now to do just that. Thinking of moving to Africa (I wanna chill on the beaches of Zanzibar with a pina colada and my lady)
I wanna make sure I have enough passive income coming in where I can sit back and just be a G. I told myself I'd need 4M USD to get there. I'd just live off of the interest in an African country and eat like a king
That's my dream, just to be out of here and wake up to some shyt like this everyday -
The biggest regret is that I had enough money to live down in Brazil for a few years without having to work, or I could have come back here for a year and had enough money saved to open my own gym down there at 24, something that is virtually impossible for me to do here.
Breh, we on the same page, the thought of having to work beyond the age of 50 is terrifying

How old are you breh? When I was coming up it was 25
I don't even wanna think about what the life expectancy will be for my little nephew
I'm 29. And no doubt life expectancy will continue to take a nose dive with the increase in violence & new diseases popping up. Cold world.

You're alive and living, you're living up to your potential, anything else is just extra.

I remember back when I used to believe that. I casted all my cares on him, but I'm pretty sure he just threw my prayers in the bushes

Are you still planning to do it?
Don't tell me the dream is dead breh
Dream boardI'm in the same boat breh!
But I ain't no bytch!
I'm stacking bread working overtime and establishing discipline.
Wrote goals down on a poster and put it above my bed so every morning when I'm acting lazy or slipping I'm reminded what time it is
Dam bruh, do you take some time out of your week or day to evaluate what you really want in life?

I'm still planning, sold off all my toys (performance cars/bikes), completely debt free just waiting on my lady to finish off paying her school loans. The dream lives it's just that it could have been so much different had I just stayed, my own gym breh, my own fitness gym I probably could have had 2 or 3 of them by now
We're thinking of Colombia, Brazil, DR or somewhere in Africa as well. I wanna wake up on a Sunday morning, throw on some Maroon 5 "sunday morning" and dance with my girl while we're wearing all white linen as the sea breeze hits us

From what I've learned from others (not from anything I've actually put into practice myself 
) if you can make the smart, small moves in your 20s then your 30s and 40s should be real smooth for you.... things like keeping your body in very good shape, saving money, getting clear of debt before you turn 30, investing, not having kids/wife before you can afford it, etc., etc.
Somebody give me advice on all of that.

I'm sorry I didn't purposely ignore this post I just didn't see it.
I didn't get therapy or take any medication because of two reasons, we couldn't afford it (the co-pay was extremely expensive, and even though my moms worked three jobs she still couldn't afford it), and my mother was an extreme Orthodox Christian who wouldn't even let me take it because she was superstitious. I guess maybe she witnessed my father going through it and didn't want me to. I never got help and to be quite frank, I don't think I ever will because it costs too much. I'd probably take advantage of free resources but they're scarce. I kind of turned my obsession into schooling, I was a brilliant kid and my father reinforced the idea that school and extracurriculars were really important. As a kid, I extensively played the piano, I was a dancer, I played multiple instruments. So I carried that regimented structure that my father instilled in me from a young age and I applied myself a lot. I got into an Ivy, a full ride, and all of that. I graduated with a 4.0 a year early. Even when my Dad died though my Rasta Uncles were there to be a shoulder for me to cry on and for me to kind of have a male figure around. I'm really scatter brained though, when the ideation gets really bad I write about 100 pages worth of material a day. Like straight story lines and shyt. I think it may run in my family, from my Dad's side, they have hella mental illness (it makes sense though, the horrific stories of what they went through and considering my father went from a Civil Rights Activist to a Panther and a member of the BLM) and it'll only get worse as I age. My mind scares me. I'd rather just be done with life than have to deal with this for the rest of my life. And unfortunately in the black community, we carry a lot of the resentment and the broken spirits of our ancestors we express it in a stand offish typa way, and it's not a lot of people who are aware of just how important mental illness is.
