How old is too old to fix your life in your country?
>>
Never

After high school

I'm 29 and I havent done anything the last decade plus. But my real life will start at 30
This time I mean it

when you die it's when you are too old

>>215376407
tomorrow is too late
yesterday is too soon
now is just right

>>215376450
Me too
>t. 31

yeah but how would one go about that?

50

This. If you didn't make your friends and meet your partner in high school here your life is pretty much over. No one talks to each here except family members after their teenage years.

>>215376407
25-30 is the latest. You really need to have something going by then or you run out of time.

I think you need at least 10 years put into something to see results, if start at 25 by 35 you should have something tangible in your life. You are still relatively young, so you can enjoy yourself and have young girlfriends.

I'm 37, imagine if I started something now. I'd be 47, it's way too late. I genuinely believe killing yourself at 35 is very sensible if you have no life. I

>>215376450
Me too
I started working my first job earlier this year
I am thinking of studying again to get a better job even though I completely rejected the idea during my NEETdom
I've started investing and I'm making a lot of progress in my hobbies
>>
>>215376407
After 25 your options start to dry up
If you haven't started building a foundation for success by this point then you're kinda fucked
Success snowballs but so does lack of success
I could slave away for another 2-4 years to get a degree and it might not even matter cause employers will just focus on all the gaps and shitty service jobs in my resume
So I'd be almost thirty and just starting out at an entry level position, one that may just be automated away anyway
It's pointless

It's kind of terrifying to realize . I've worked at pizza places where there were 30+ year olds that have been there for years and years because after a certain point they realize they can't escape that they're stuck and that this is just what they will be doing for the rest of their lives

>>215377211
You can escape, but you've got to accept eating shit for a lot longer and work on being likeable. I've known people who have gotten trade qualifications in the mid 40s before. The problem is the same behaviors that predispose someone to no success at 30, prevent them from finding success after that. If they were capable of it, typically they do it at 18.

It's realistically five years of concentrated effort to reach middle class, starting at nothing. The first six months to a year is working whatever slop job you have to. After that you get a trade qualification or start working on an associates degree part time.

>>215377267
Grim. I'm one of those. I quit my job when I realised it's GAME OVER for me and has been surviving on the bare minimum since. I'm planing to kill myself, but I'm very scared.
>>
>>215377436
>work on being likeable
Yeah that's my problem. I'm a hermit curmudgeon and I kind of hate interacting with most people.
Most jobs I have worked I usually manage to stay on by being more competent than everyone else. everyone usually understandably at first sort of hates me but after awhile they grow to tolerate me because of how hard I work.
at this point I kind of just want some job where I have very little interaction but ik that's hard to find
>>215377446
Same situation here. I quit my last kitchen job because i came to the realization if I staid on any longer then I may very well be stuck in kitchens/restaurants for the rest of my life
I genuinely don't know what I'm going to do now. I have enough savings to last me some time but it's just difficult to think how to dig myself out of this hole
>>
>>215376407
Being realistic, if you haven't started a long-term career by 25 or so, your life is just going to be a series of minimum wage humiliation rituals. You'll cycle through pot, alcohol, and video games. Midlife suicide attempt is all but assured.

>>215376407
I made a pretty radical change in my life at 36 and it was the best thing I’ve ever done
>>
There's no age limit to improve your current circumstances, you can always be better that what you were yesterday. As hemingway supposedly said "true nobility is being superior to your former self"

If you are browsing this site over age 30, it's probably too late.
