Gonna blog a bit about this. I hope you guys will reply with some wisdom or personal experiences to share. I'm interested in hearing your stories as well.

Wrote a lot and cut most of it out to keep this short. I'm nearly 24 and have been really financially prudent ever since I started working at 17. I was a cheap bastard, I worked many jobs (up to four at the same time), and invested most of my money. Graduated and started my career half a year ago with no debt and a shitload of saved money.

I feel like I am financially ahead, but very behind in life experiences. I've had a few serious girlfriends, a few cool trips, but not really much else. I've lived with my parents my entire life, and my social circle has been small. Now, I'm making a lot of money, but I have very little free time (trying to keep this short, just believe me). I would consider myself unhappy.

I feel very nostalgic for old times where I had a larger social circle and more novel experiences. Gaming with my (former) friends in high school and having LAN parties in their garages. Remembering my first girlfriend who I met at my first job. Winning over her brother who didn't like me at first. Hanging out with her big family, gaming with them on the couch. All of us going to the gym together. Too much to write here.

Now, my life is just fucking work. I wake up, work job 1 at my computer, drive to work, work job 2 there, drive back, work out, come home and do homework, then do job 1 at my computer again. Any free time I have is usually plundered by my girlfriend. She would make a good wife, but I feel like nothing will ever compare to the novelty and excitement of your first love. I'm in purgatory and can't move out until something similar to a background check for my job passes, and the process is not transparent. It could pass tomorrow, pass a year from now, or be rejected and I'd never know until it's through.

I fantasize about having my own apartment and hosting LAN parties like we had in HS.
>>
>>61334512
But enough about my ex girlfriend
>>
>>61334515
OP and 34 year old here. Start making time. It took me until last year to get my house, save up a comfy emergency fund, develop my education and career etc and now most of the good girls are gone.

I got a nice girl now but even she's divorced and has trauma.

You got time anon start dating and going out and building your social circle. I'm lucky I still have my friends from HS and successful enough to get people I find attractive but it wont always be that way.

>>
>>61334547
Yeah, getting more time per day after work has been a priority. Moving 5 mins from work is probably going to be the biggest help, but I can't safely move out until my job is secure after my check passes. Sucks.

>You got time anon start dating and going out and building your social circle. I'm lucky I still have my friends from HS and successful enough to get people I find attractive but it wont always be that way.
Yeah I agree. I thought a lot about this, and I think what the nostalgia comes down to is having a social circle to share experiences with. Slowly been building a group of friends who are up for apartment LAN parties and stuff like that.

So, you have a nice circle and more free time after being on the grind for years. Do you ever get to relive the glory days from when you're younger, or does it lose its magic?

>>61334555
Pretty good, honestly. She was 5'11 and maybe 130 pounds. Though, she was otherwise pretty boring, and we didn't really do anything novel or special. I really don't know if anything will ever compare to your first love.
>>
>>61334662
>Do you ever get to relive the glory days from when you're younger, or does it lose its magic?

They didn't appear until I did nofap. Idk why prob the chemicals in my body but since I stopped fapping that "feeling" I had when I was younger is back and we do game or movie nights probably once a quarter but most of my friends are manchildren with no kids, even when married.
>>
>>61334252
Who is she?
>>
>>61334680
Honestly, I think nofap is a little retarded, but this is interesting. Good to know that you can relive the excitement of when you were younger to some extent.

Any suggestions for events, what has worked or not worked for you?
Current idea is hosting "winter wonderLAN". Start out with a group workout or hike with 3-5 of the boys, then head to the apartment. Play video games, board games, watch movies etc. while listening to 2000s alternative rock and eating junk until it's late. Whoever wins the most gets to choose where we go out to eat. Continue gaming until it's really late, and let them crash in a sleeping bag or couch
>>
>>61334760
>Honestly, I think nofap is a little retarded, but this is interesting.

Yeah idk if its a placebo or what but I quit porn and fapping for my gf and I just feel better. Lifts are also a hundred times easier. Who knows.

And we always just go to my house and game. We doing airriders soon and I have an 83in oled and top of the line home theater setup we use.

Whatever you do make it easy as fuck for them. So like we would never do a lan because of all the setup (although with steam machine coming out and being so small may revisit this idea).

Option C. I will leave the same for my children so they can have as good a life as possible. Options A or B can be fine too but you know what they say perfection is the enemy of good enough

Its a life of compromises, at least you have money, a gf and an opinion.

I'm 33, musician and self employed programmer, I've done ok in every job I've but the last (corpo, fired), travelled all over the world spent all lots of money, recently back my parents house. I was and still am in the financial gutters, feeling behind my peers.

As a youth I was never truly emotionally or cognitively engaged with reality. I used to be verbally disabled (stutter) and I found relief in music performance, so I had many tricks to impress, but these were rehearsed and repeated without emotion. During the last 15 years I have forced myself to be socially active, meeting new people every week but I still felt distant, shy, broken inside and ultimately lonely. I was an autistic clown. Got hooked into gaming and browsed /pol/, leaning to the chud/gore/cringe mentality.

I'm tall + good looking thank god and got occasional pussy, though I've been unable to sustain a girlfriend, both emotionally or economically.

Something happened at 27 where my life changed dramatically: a simple diet change made me realized I was in a constant state of intoxication / inflammation. And that was setting me back. Once that was solved, I began overcoming a whole lot of issues.

What do I have after this long journey? Talent for music performance and other field specific knowledge I barely make any money from, the ability to connect through music and 26k to my name. Started lifting and got back to surfing/skating. Now dating which is good, although most women my age are living trainwrecks and seriously got me looking back to 21 yo zoomers, which are still retarded but at least make me go crazy. Feels like making up for the lost time.

Waking up later in life is a weird thing, don't allow that to happen to you anon.

What was the diet change and how did you diagnose it?
>>
>>61335283
not him, but i had similar relief from identifying a root cause in my diet, for me it was a bad response to lactose.

the negative symptoms kept escalating until i couldn't eat anything and i did an elimination diet to pin it down. i learned to moderate dairy and i can eat it now, with minimal effects (which seem to accumulate if i eat too much dairy)
>>

>Waking up later in life is a weird thing, don't allow that to happen to you anon.
What do you mean by this?
>>
>>61334515
I just turned 44. What you're describing is called getting older. I have a family, business, house, land, the car I want, toys I want and I still think about my late teens and early twenties when I was broke and just fucking around. Those times dont come back, when you try to recreate them by doing the things you used to do they still dont come back. Ten years from now you'll look back to right now with nostalgia and miss it, even though your being a little bitch in the present. Start a family, it's the only thing in life that's fulfilling, everything else is bullshit. I spent too much time looking foward to the past. You're still really young. Enjoy life. Also fuck you

Simple, be in the middle.
Middle class is the best.

Being poor sucks because you're poor.
Being rich sucks because you work all the time.
Be middle class. You lack nothing and have time to enjoy life.

>never trust anyone over 30

>>
>>61334252
I'd say be financially smart in your youth. 30's is where it's at if you have money. That's also when you have enough experience with whatever your thing is to actually innovate or start a business, but you can't do that if you don't have money.
I had a lot of good experiences from the amount of fucking around I did in my 20's. But because I wasn't financially sound, I couldn't hold down a serious relationship. End up 30's too poor to date or go out often, no spouse, etc.
Of the thousands of nights I spent going out drinking and partying, memorable experiences weren't the majority of them and the only meaning is in memories with people no longer in my life.

I kind of did a 360 in this regard

I was an anorexic socially anxious recluse for all of my teenage years. Didn't attend a single dance, prom, or social event. No female contact until I was out of high school. And I was a punching bag for just about everyone. I really had no confidence in my physicality or personality, for obvious reasons.

Ended up growing to be 6'5. Got extremely yoked. A generic insecure loser hits the gym type story. But it took me many more years to develop confidence. In my mind, I was still the 105 pound twig. A rather endless deluge of positive female attention eventually snapped me out of it. Around the same time, I stumbled into crypto. ETH at $5 and LINK in the ICO. Ending up going back to university at 24. Speedran all of the female encounters I never had. Experiences I can hardly believe 7 years later. Long story short, I fumbled the crypto and ultimately the lifestyle.

>>61334515
>I'm nearly 24
It always gets a laugh from me when anyone under the age of 25 thinks they're getting old. I thought the same way, I remember being 20 and thinking that meant I was an old ass man and my life was over. It depends on genetics, but age doesn't really limit you in any capacity until you're like 28. Even then you can probably mitigate it until you're like 35 if you take care of your body. At NEARLY 24 (so holy shit, you're 23), anything is still possible. Remember that

Apparently boomers don’t even breed like crazy when they’re in their peak, but they tell coomer to breed like rabbit instead so the birth rate is skyrocketing thank to coomer doing what boomers didn’t do well.

The current young people look YOUNGER than prior generations on average and are ageing better than them (less use of various vices). And yet people think their life is over right after college?
All the anxiety people these days have about getting "old" and "not being able to do anything after age 21 because aged out (KEK)" is because of social fucking media. This is the answer to everyone's worries: GET OFF SOCIAL MEDIA.

That also means minimizing your time on 4chan. It's okay to check once in a while if you really need to, that's what I do, I come here to check the sentiment then leave for months at a time. But really, stop using social media, stop using your phone, stop CHECKING THINGS ALL THE TIME.

>>61334252
This is all caused because we let women have an education and work.

Having a baby face at 30 years old is not healthy. There's got to be a negative effect we are still unaware of.
>>
>>61337324
Several reasons why people have more of a baby face:
-people are taking care of their skin better (both men and women), skincare products have increased in efficacy in the past two decades.
- use of sunscreen rather than tanning which was all the rage after WW2 and following decades. Which is a good thing because skin cancer is not nice.
-less smokers (cigarettes) and alcohol use (both of which can age someone considerably especially if they make no preventative measures)
I don't think having a baby face in 30s is a bad thing. People typically age better the younger they look compared to peers of the same age.

However, nothing is always hunky dory. other things are happening in place, such as lung cancer rate increasing in young adults, food quality continually dropping in standards... and so on.
