I wish I never fucking tried. All those years I could have spend on video games, anime, and porn all wasted:

You could have been married with a house and the layoffs would have cost you that instead. What I would like to know more if you had it was your income and expenses. Even if you dont want to post actual numbers then percentages. How much of your income per month or year did you spend with 401k or retirement account contributions counting as expense. How much did you have in an emergency fund? Did you live above your means, were you paycheck to paycheck, etc?
I find this data difficult to find. Personally, I spend 67% of my income and 33% are saved. Once my savings get above whatever amount I desire in my emergency savings then I dump it into individual stock investments or other short term investments. For example, I increased my emergency savings to 9 months of my average required spending such as rent, groceries, etc plus 10% if prices spike. It was 6 months a year ago but Trump is doing retarded things so I increased it. I have no fear of finding another job if I am laid off, I see my type of work having job postings anytime even during covid layoffs but the peace of mind reduces stress to a minimum.

Inflation at 9 percent fucked over a lot of people with thrifty habits. Various types of insurance has doubled in the last 5 years. Utilities have tripled. Groceries have quadrupled in the last 10 years.

I am in my early 20s and my parents are in their 70s and have bad health.

How am I supposed to "just move back in with your parents" in 10 years?
>>
>>535956345
Why not? Make an agreement with them that you will take care of them if they bequeath you their property in return.
>>
>>535956644
Their property isn't even paid off. I wouldn't make enough Money to pay it myself.
>>
>>535957819
Then you tell them to figure that out or else they get stuck in assistant living managed by jeets and niggers as you cannot afford otherwise.

Make a deal with the boomer after 30 years of reverse mortgages on the TV?

Are you fucking insane, no inheritance upfront no care in your old age.

Take responsibility. You know you made mistakes, everyone does. Admit where you were wrong, and reflect on what you could have done different, and what you can do now.

Its never too late, but its far too late when its "everyone else's fault".
