  • Totally fair. I’m in a similar boat on family. I’m going to reach the age soon where it’s no longer a realistic option for me to change my mind on. But I’ve seen it go sideways enough not to want it and I like my current situation.

    That be said, human contact is important. Even if that means working retail like Lowes or Home Depot on the weekend just to push you to interact with people. Or if you prefer, there are plenty of communities out there whether that be religion, book clubs, or even the freemason’s for that matter. I have a few family members in that. Communities that support you. It’s been rough working from home the last few years with minimal human contact.




  • Find the best paying job you can and start investing ASAP. My biggest regret is not investing sooner. It doesn’t even need to be substantial. Anything will snowball, the amount just makes it snowball faster.

    Honestly I’d skip college at this point. Even programming jobs are rare now days. Get a trade job. Something that becomes good paying like electrician or plumber. It’s hard on the body, but if you invest well, you might be able to retire before it becomes a problem.

    If you want a family, don’t wait for the “right time”. There is always going to be something going on in your life and the world. If you want kids, best to have them while you have the energy to play with them. They can also serve as your reason to get out of bed and reach for more instead of a void in your life that keeps you in bed. This assumes family is important to you of course.
