brother...I been watching your channel for a bit. I liked how you had the men's hangouts before you redid your smoke/whiskey room. Can you get back to that? Nothing against the Mrs, but we all got ladies and we want a hangout with the boys---especially when we smoking a stick and drinking one down after a long day. Keep what you got going--just can you do a different live, from time to time, on the side for the boys
hey man! no one els realy seems to be thanking you for this video so here i am, im 21 and have a decent grasp of my mental being but im always interested in learning more, especially from someone such as urself, we need all the good men we can get. even as a gen Z'er i can see the issues with my generation and the following one (gen alpha) nothing and i mean nothing makes me more happy than seeing a guy teach his son/sons what it means to be a good proper guy. having good morals, ethics, and so many more things is somthing that many dads neglect to teach there kids nowadays. people expect there kids to grow up rough and tough as they did back in there day but kids nowadays even myself to an extent have and are being "softened up"........its sad that guys are made to feel bad for having the desire to be self made and independent. they (and they applies to so many people) want us to be soft and manipulatable
I like your humor a lot dude. A lot of people that have what I would consider more right wing humor can be very cringe and arrogant and the sense of really going over the top with how masculine they think they are and then everyone else needs to be. Nice blend here 👌🏽
Your advice is so biblical. It’s like everything churches teach honestly about how to have a successful life. You’d be surprised about how often churches talk about money in the sense of not getting in debt and being wise with your money, not over Aaron indulging in a lot of these areas and trying to avoid sexual misconduct and marriages and marriages to avoid nasty consequences. A lot of biblical principles are more about avoiding the consequences and not necessarily trying to avoid offending God. Only offends God because it hurts us and he loves us and wants us to have successful fulfilling good lives. I love hearing someone some cuss words and anti pc jokes saying what churches teach because it gets good god inspired wisdom to people who may not want to hear it from a priest or some pastor even if he’s a cool youth pastor lol good and true wisdom is good no matter how it’s deliverers I love positive channels like this it doesn’t have the stigma religion attached to it. I want people who aren’t religious to have good and happy successful lives also! Thanks for taking care of men, Uncle Jeremy 🥲 not to be sappy, but we really do need more men like you in the world. Men like Jordan Peterson but maybe without the political attachments that creat a stigma of conservatives or religious biases that cause people to shut off a good message to benefit them and the people around them! I love politics and religion and discussing those ideas, but I’m realizing how the worldview system comes from attract people from wanting to hear about the value system that is valuable to everyone..
PLEASE, you, and EVERYONE, if you haven't already, embrace the One True Only God YHWH Jehovah, Only One Jesus Christ His Only Begotten Son and Lord and Savior of our souls and the Only One Holy Spirit. God is good. God is love. Jesus is Lord! Jesus IS coming. Your soul depends on it! I have seen God act in my life. He saved my soul, changed my heart, changed my mind, helped people through me, took care of people in my life, people I hurt before I found God. God is the only reason I was able to reconcile with my dad before he died. God worked through Jesus Christ to save our souls. Jesus Christ died on the cross for our sins. Believe in your heart and confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus, and that God raised Him from the dead and you will be saved. Be baptized in The Holy Spirit, and if He wills, water as well. Repent of your sins, accept God, Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit into your heart, that Jesus Christ died on the cross for your sins. For God so loved the world that He gave His only Begotten Son Jesus Christ, that all who believe on Him shall not perish but have eternal life. Jesus Christ is The Way, The Truth and The Life. No one comes to the Father Jehovah God but through Him. Not long after I got saved I prayed to God for help understanding the Holy Bible, and that same day someone knocked on my door asking me if I wanted to understand the Bible. I have had times where I was thinking about Holy Bible quotes and have stumbled across them flipping through The Holy Bible at random the same/next day. God is here for you if you let Him guide you. The Holy Bible says, "love thy enemy", "turn the other cheek", "If your enemy is hungry, feed him", "if he is thirsty, give him a drink", "pray for those who persecute you", "do not repay evil for evil". LORD willing, all humans may commit sin of almost every kind (gay, straight), and that's wrong, and all humans sin, as God tells us through the The Holy Bible, "for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and all are justified freely by His grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus." The Holy Bible also says, "If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.", "Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you." and, “For if you forgive others their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you, but if you do not forgive others their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses."
Take care of yourself physically as well. Wear your PPE. Ear plugs, safety glasses, knee pads, respirator, etc. just because you can pick that thing up, doesn't mean it's good for your back in 10 years.
If you’re married in your 20’s, you’ll probably have at least one opportunity to cheat. Don’t do it! Your partner is growing like you are and will be better when they get older like you will be too. Hold off on ruining your life early, you’ll get over those feelings for someone else and you’ll be happier in the long run if you remember why you married in the first place
Real, dont assume the woman will take it lightly and forgive you, even if she does it will always haunt the relationship. if you think shes a keeper, dont try to sneak some extra action, that short satisfaction will ruin years of companionship. Im mot even married but when the day comes, i wont make that mistake
@@kentuckyproproductions1624 I would never in a million years cheat on my wife!! Before my wife, I had “dated” two other girls but both for like under 6 months and I didn’t even kiss either of them!! My wife was my first kiss and the first girl that I ever loved in this way!! And there is nothing that I won’t do to carry out my role as the male and the head of my house to provide for, protect, and lead my family with my wife right next to me!!!
Great advice bro. I’ll keep that in mind. Although I’ve never been the type to chase women and I’m pretty picky about the women I choose. But nonetheless I’m still a man and temptation comes to me like every other man.
29 in two weeks. I’ve done pretty much everything he said not to do and I can tell you from experience that he is right 100%. I’m still dealing with the DUI that I got eight years ago.
Never doubt the justice system, if they can make something take 20 years to happen, they will, they are the slowest mfs in this planet@@dustinjackson8250
I’m currently 22, in the Marine Corps, have a wife and have a second baby on the way!! Never been drunk, and never done the deed with anyone but my wife and I thank the Lord for the path that He has blessed me with!!!🙌🏼🙌🏼💪🏼💪🏼
@@ethanpickmedia9979it's because you know you are running out of time. The 3-0 tends to scare straight a few minds.. others it's 40. And the REALLY thick headed it's 50. We are all closing in on death and on looking back in the last seconds of life at everything we didn't do that we knew we were capable of but decided to tell our higher self to fuck off and wait. It always seems like there is more time when you are younger. DONT listen to that voice EVER. Get to work NOW on what you know you want to do "one day". Build discipline, wisdom, experience, hands on skills and especially understanding how to effectively navigate socially and build contacts with people who can help you advance in your growth. Find a mentor of possible. An older person who is a fixture in your community. Business owner, property owner, farmer, construction company owner, local vetranarian.... These men are worth more than gold to be friends with. And if the right sort will be the most important friendships to your quality of life than anyone from middle school that was cool. Respect. Respect everything and everyone. And always look for a good quality in even the worst person or situation. Nothing is all bad or useless. Learn when you fall and never make the same mistake twice. Tolerate no b.s. and stand up for yourself and those around you. Speak your mind! But also become man enough to know those times when the benefit is saying nothing at all.
Sir or ma’am (cause I don’t know) I will let you know I am beyond greatful that I live in a generation where information is at our fingertips. I will also note that I have been using GPT 4.0 for the last couple of weeks learning how to start and run a business, my future is all planned out and I don’t got room for games and distractions
@@arcyyarc well you were well raised to not surcome to these bad habits, I think that should be simply understood… compare to others who had or are in the strugle
Currently 22yr old and this is all true. The urge of doing everything you mentioned is a constant battle. I think one point you didn’t mention was the FRIENDS you have around you. Makes the entire difference in my opinion.
You’re absolutely right. I was friends with one of the biggest losers I’ve ever met from 20-25 and it set me up to be a loser myself. 27 now and my life is so so so much better. CHOOSE YOUR FRIENDS WISELY. They say you are the culmination of the 5 people you spend the most time with and it’s 100% true
Im 21 and luckily, i caught on to this kind of thing when i was about 14 yrs old, so i never fell into that pit trap. Never smoked or did drugs, i drink a glass of alcohol maybe once every 3 months (only at restaurants wit friends or my wife)
I totally wasted my 20s. No money, drunk almost every day, not very fit. But in my early 30s I started to turn it around and now that I'm getting closer to my 40s I'm fittern than ever and work on my first Marathon. I'm also close to retiring early, as I have more than enough money now. It is never to late to turn yourself around and become the best version of yourself. Stay strong fellas. 💪👍
@@zacharypumpz The first step is to take a hard look at your finances. What is your income and what do you spend it for. Especially subscriptions like Netflix can be a trap that could be cut. Next is the realisation that It's fine to start small and build over time. Start with paying yourself first, when money comes in. I started with 25€ per month that I put into an MSCI World ETF on the 1. of the month. Let it work and grow. Meanwhile you learn new skills in stuff that interests you and look how you can make money from it. If you start early and keep at it you will be surprised how far you have come once you reach 30.
Love it brother! I married a crazy one at 21 while in the Marine Corps and it lasted a whopping 5 months and was divorced in a year and a half. Married the right woman the second time and have three grown kids and a granddaughter at 53!
Im 24, covid days were my early 20s, myself and my friends all went through the same thing. Stopped thinking about the future and just started enjoying the time we could at the present. Now we're all older, about to turn 25 and all of us are starting to figure our futures out. I'm glad I wondered apon your video today. It's reminding me to set myself up for what's to come and to motivate my friends
24 vs 21 is crazy too. I can’t drink as much as I used to. I read much more than I used to. I work out harder. My libido is crazier at 24 than it was at 14 which is wild but I have a brain to finally channel it. Life is strange .
Puberty usually ends at the age of 25 and with it the full development of the brain. That's why a lot of young people finally get their lifes together in the end of their 20s because they finally unlocked their full potential. Being in puberty is like a massive disadvantage in probably the most important time of your life when you have to make the most important life decisions. (Education, Job, relationsship, ...)
@@massa_oogway not much really, make sure you lick it before you stick it, and wear a condom. also pick a profession that challenges you and isn’t easy, then flip the money you earn from it to help others and fund your hobbies. but mostly, make sure you wear a condom.
I'm 23 and unemployed, struggling and trying to gather my self up i'll be back at this video 5 years from now and see where I am at life thank you for the advice.
Get your hands dirty I’m 23 and became a mechanic at a local dealership. I hate it but I’m not that broke anymore makes me wanna level up bro just start something and pray
Your teen and 20s are the time to build a solid base for your future, meaning education etc. Your 30s are the time where you should create a situation where you say "life is good the way it is; now it can stay like that", like finding a wife, having kids, building a house, etc.
I just turned 36, and I’ve just started to get my life together as of a few years ago. My 20’s consisted of weed, lots of drinking, smoking a pack of cigs a day, poor money management, not socializing, and having limited nutritional knowledge. Fast forward to now, I bought a house 2 years ago, have a nice car, have 3 kids, beautiful fiancé, 10k in the bank, no more weed, no more cigarettes, eat clean most of the time. I still do drink. But having 3 kids and working as a head chef of a restaurant, I need something to wind down at the end of the day sometimes. Moral of the story is that it’s never too late to get your shit together.
Doesn’t alcohol take a toll much worse than marijuana ? I don’t smoke so idk but I’ve heard people can die from being heavy alcoholic and going cold turkey
@@BreydenRobles-r8y Alcohol is 100% worse for you than weed. I also prefer something that doesn’t make me want to fall asleep. My drinking is actually controlled now, as opposed to my 20’s where it was a six pack and a nip basically every day
My friend currently acts like you did. He’s 24 and smokes so much weed that he never comes to work on Mondays because he’s always sick. I’m hoping he breaks free of his addiction before it’s too late. But he is content with dying at 50 and never having any children
@@BreydenRobles-r8y dont let them fool you - i was addicted to weed for the last 3 years its not good bro. Phycosis, cloudy, unable to be happy without smoking. Just as dangerous as drinking long term 100%. I once convinced myself I was a nonce from watching regular porn, i destroyed all my devices and moved out - not a joke weed phycosis if real asf
Awesome recommendations Jeremy! I'm in my early 60s and heartily agree with you. One additional thing I would recommend is to intentionally try to STAY IN TOUCH with friends and MAKE NEW FRIENDS! It's difficult, but believe me it's worth it in the end. You don't want to be an old geezer that nobody wants to talk to. Be a friend to have a friend!!!
I’m 27 and never smoke or drank in my life so I avoided what came with that, but life was super tough after I graduated college. I FULLY agree on your take about college. DON’T DO IT unless it is REQUIRED for you to get a higher education in the field you desire (doctor, lawyer, dentist, etc.). The financial side is tricky with today’s economy and job market, but do your best to be smart with how you spend your money. With women, TAKE YOUR DAMN TIME!!! Don’t rush into ANY relationship, ESPECIALLY marriage!!! Find you a good one and stay with that one because it is NOT sweet in the dating world. Take care of your body and it’ll take care of you. Always be down to learn, BUT hold on to the wisdom you gain along the way because eventually you’ll HAVE to realize that it’s YOUR journey. There’s only so much your elders can teach you before you have to start making tough decisions on your own. Some of those decisions will not align with your family’s and that’s okay as long as they are morally right and you’ve done your credible research. Don’t beat yourself up when you make mistakes. Learn from them and do better the next time around. The most important thing of all though, REMEMBER WHERE YOU CAME FROM! Be humble in life and you’ll find that you’ll have a good life AND good people around you. Being alone is NOT fun guys! Don’t be a dick lol.
Im 35 now. Didn't get my shit together until about 27 and while i had more fun than most people in my 20s. Im super tired now trying to catch up to where i want to be in life
I'm 27, quitting weed, alcohol and going to the gym has been the biggest improvement for me. I did international travel for the first time ever this year which was eye opening the future is bright!
As someone who's about to be 34, who fckd up their entire 20s, there's hope... But you'll really have to buckle down and find your focus in your 30s. Whatever it is that you put off or pushed down into your subconscious, you will have to begin confronting. Whether that's your health & fitness, lack of career ambition & direction, and/or your lack of attention in relationships. You will have to examine these things and begin to act in such a way that actually leads to the outcomes you desire. You can't escape hard work.
27 here, married at 26, together for 5 years, working on having kids. I have a stable career and have always been on top of my finances. Not a big drinker, never smoked. From age 20-25 I worked in NASCAR and got to travel across the US to different tracks and work on racecars. Boy that took its toll in just 5 years. Over the last 2 1/2 I've leaned into stability and setting up for a future with my wife. Appreciate the video offering advice!
26 turning 27 in a couple months. I love videos like these, even though i haven't made horrible horrible mistakes i still made a few that im learning from, specially financially.
Thankfully I grew out of this by like 26 so i got a little bit of a head start. Just started getting depressed from being hungover and feeling like crap all the time
Same here except I’m about to be 22. Partied at least every weekend if not more during almost my whole time in college (being a dj probably didn’t help). The hangovers already hurt more idk how people keep this up throughout their 20s lmao. I’ve also now learned that there is no need to get absolutely belligerent. Having a few drinks, and getting a little silly is a much better option than trying to be the most fucked up person in the room. Unfortunately, I know people much older than me who still have not grasped this concept.
As a man in my mid-50s, co-sign on all this. At 20, I was probably in the best shape of my life. At 30, probably the worst. 40 and 50 were improving, but my goal is to hit 60 in great shape again. Already on the path. #boldfortune #monkeybrains
im 21 and i’ve never partied. been living on my own since 18. the only thing I feel like I messed up in was not going to school again or having no money to show for. everything i had i threw in to bed bad and beyond stock 😔
I agree with pretty much everything Uncle Jer! Saw many a friend fall into many of those traps, and they are all still struggling. Moderation and moderation.
After I messed up in my 20s, I learned from my mistakes via DUI, PARTYING, girls as well as paid off debt, met good and wrong girls for me. Now all I do is grind and work on my purpose to repay my mom for always being there. A coworker tells me the same this gentleman said above, unfortunately I believe we must make mistakes to really experience growth. Some ppl don't change but I believe change is up to the beholder. ❤ I believe in you
Thank you, dear Jeremy! I'm gonna turn 18 in a couple days and I spent the last year trying to improve myself. I always avoided alcohol before (never drank), went to the gym and was caring about my diet, but recently started trying to steer my life in the right direction. So it was mainly about social exposure and knowledge gathering. The tips like these really help to get a rough understanding of what I should do and what things must be erased. Again, I can't thank you enough for sharing your knowledge with every young man out here!
Came across this video at 32. Finally settling down after about 10 years of heavy drinking and eventually a fentanyl addiction that nearly cost me my life and leg. Listen to this guy y'all
It's not the end of the world to do what you're doing or what these replies are saying. Don't sacrifice your life to try to be super healthy. It's not worth it in my opinion. Live, we don't know when our last breath is!
honestly helps a lot cause in reality i haven’t done much with myself but i’m about to be 20 going into welding needing the be the working man i’m supposed to be and i’m trying to turn it around for me.
Everything in moderation, including moderation. I really like that! Currently 24 and I feel like I keep a healthy balance of keeping on the straight and narrow path while still letting myself party hard once or twice a month. I have some friends who are super straight, don’t do anything “bad”, and insist on constantly working on their lives, and they seem miserable sometimes. On the other hand, I have friends who constantly party, do drugs, and make bad decisions, and they seem miserable too. I’ve always been an advocate of walking the middle path. Daoism baby!
I love this, im in my early 20’s right now. Also i grew up without a dad, so being able to get some real life advice like this from a man like this, just great.
I’ve made almost none of these mistakes when in my 20’s. I’ve been saving since I was a young child and started getting serious about investing my money at around 26. I’m now 36, married, and have a 4 year old boy. My wife and I are absolutely killing it. We are 2 time homeowners and continue to push our net worth higher and higher every year. Start early and it pays off in the long run.
25 and kind of lost. Working super hard to try to break out of my selfish and childish habits. Not working too well. No real social life or crazy amount of friends. Just got out of an almost 5 year relationship. Don’t think I’ll be interested in women or sex at all for a while. Already been almost half a year and no drive for that at all. Always been the loner type so even if I wanted to, I don’t have much experience meeting people. My goal for the next 5-10 years of my life is to figure out who I am, aid my faults, and start learning how to have genuine connections with people and the world around me. All so I can be ready for the right one and my future family. Good luck everyone
I am 29, autistic, and non married. Growing through my late teens and my twenties, I’ve always focused on myself because I’ve only had myself. Hard to make/keep real friends and relationships. Therefor I’ve done a lot of things already such as trade school to become a luthier, working three jobs, college(associates), marine corps(dumbest decision of my 20s), college again on becoming an aircraft mechanic, going to pilots school, and now inventing & patenting a new electrical product through invent help. All of these things line up with the video BUT being in my late twenties/ early thirties, the unhealthy habit I’m going through is since I never got to party, have girls and all of that stuff, not only am I craving that now, but also am sometimes living that way. I suppose it’s a trade off. Bring autistic, I’ve always been a late bloomer. I think as each generation progresses further and further, our brains need more time to develop. Why? Most obvious reason is the technology. Secondly, health and medicine improving therefor we don’t need to “grow up” as young as past generations.
Watch Goatis reviews, especially the one he did on this video. Autism totally is reversable. You're not craving partying and girls, you just want love and acceptance and to eat your natural diet. God bless bro
I think that the fear of missing out is what messes up most people. Like you have this internal itch that you just GOTTA have a partner a better car a better house a better clothes. You GOTTA be with many people. At the party. Can't miss out. It's all in your head. 99% of those impulses don't serve you at all.
I have this conversation a couple times a week with the young guys I supervise/work with. I have also seen many guys that struggled making the transition from having free time and all of the hot new toys they couldn’t afford , but had anyway ,to being married and responsible for the well-being of a wife and children crash and burn. I’m glad I had kids young and never really went through the crazy selfish party years.
Im 23 years old and have a full time job. And i just wanna say that im proud of my accomplishments i quit smoking and drinking about a year ago sometimes I get urge to start doing my old habits over again but i now go to the gym to cope with that. Last year i used to weigh 290 lbs now i weigh 195 lbs. Thank you so much for your videos you really helped me turn my life around for the better
I’m 21…I had a promising future and a career but I picked up alcohol a year ago and weed and now this all I do I hate my self deeply so I’m always punishing myself by self destruction
I’m 26 almost 27, I still fuck up all the time struggle with doing to much sometimes. But I have a wife bought a beautiful home this year and just became a jourynmen ironworker. It’s not a lot but it’s something and trusting in god is definitely very helpful, I can’t complain just gotta try to keep improving in your 20s
Im 21, currently in otr training for truck driving. Never been drunk or high, stuff never intrested me. My only "problem is im 210lbs, a few months ago i was 235lbs so i am losing it but once i hit 180lbs ill be happy, healthy and have money
' everything in moderation, including moderation' is the part that I am gonna take home after watching this. Maybe being a non-native en speaker have some influence on how this saying seems to me. Good luck Jeremy and to us all, thx.
I'm 23, I focused on gym,investing ,and working since i was 19. would say im on the right path but i also missed out on many opportunities to just to have fun, i wish i would have went out and experienced more. I was selfish 19-21ish and I cut out a lot of friendships right out of high school. Now that i do want to be more social i have no friends lol i used to chase success over everything else but the wiser i get , i just now try to practice gratitude and enjoying the moment
just change the perspective. all the friends that used to have fun, have the struggle in what you already had in years before. I'm sure you'll find another people that have the same frequency as you, so you don't need to throw pity party because you work on yourself a lot earlier
I'm a woman in 23 and been working on every aspect of my life since 15. missed a lot of fun, but I surely socialize in optimum level (that save me from isolation and depression). and in this year, I found my new people, and a whole community that most of them around my age and man... they're f-ing productive more than me. not just in money and influence, but the cool thing they do and great networking. because they already "did" the navigation of the soul, so in this period, they really thriving and make a greater impact on larger community
I’m currently 27, never get drunk, no drugs, no gf, no job and I may consider myself immature and I’m angry at myself thinking if that. I started blaming my parents on how they raised me as a kid and it did worse in my lifestyle. Now at this point in my life i am already ruined.
Dude, you aren’t ruined. Today can be a new start. You can change your life at 17, 27, or 47. It’s your mentality. Put value in God, it puts value in you, then put value into those around you!
26 here. My life went from pretty good to an absolute nightmare in just one day. After living well for so long and having my quality of life completely sink, I'm genuinely starting to think I should just spare myself the torture and end it all sooner than later.
Get yourself around a friend and talk about it. Don’t give it up. Whatever you’re going through will get better. Keep pushing and stay strong. I promise you it will get better
Currently 22 bit the bullet and got a good career working in surgery, all the while watching my friends have the time of their lives. Still going to go back to school but I’m traveling now in this position and fighting all the urges to do dumb shit is still harder than ever but knowing I’m doing better than most my age and older motivates me to carry on
Great video. Sometimes straightforward advice is some of the most insightful. I would really love a video where you give us YOUR story. Like what you’ve done leading up to TH-cam and what your advice would be on that, etc.
I don't think you get it most people in their 20s get out anymore to begin with. Most people don't have friends. Gen z is a unique generation with unique social issues that older people haven't experienced because of the internet.
Had a little party phase when I turned 18 now Im 22 training grappling and striking for mma 6 days a week eating well taking supplements n shit competing in bjj tournaments and doing my best to build self confidence You can do whatever you want go make your younger self proud
I just turnwd 26, and boy did i fuck my life. I spent 18-24 drunk, high and dating some of the worst women possible, i fucked up my finances inpressing people i hate, i have a dui and a misdemeanor possession charge from it, along with lackluster credit score(650), and i messed up several great opportunities for careers and jobs that if i stuck too I'd be way farther ahead. I wish i had started my 401k when i started working at 18 and not when i turned 25. Please learn from our mistakes
Thank you for taking the time to share your wisdom. This video has done more to try and prepare young men for their future than anything taught in highschool. With the exception of building trades and Ag.
I am 32 now. I did everything you are saying not to do right up until I was 27. If i had not put a cap on it sooner, I might not be in as good of shape as i am now.
19 here and I wanna get a heavyyyy grasp/headstart on all of this!! I'm already smoking a shit ton and I feel like drinking is slowly following suit in the amount that I consume. I've had several good friends of mine (one of which being my longest childhood friend) pass away just this year alone. That combined with other stresses that I'm feeling (with a lack of understanding on how to deal with said feelings) I feel myself turning down a really dark road with no headlights to guide me. I want to stop, get back to the guy I was before all of this, the guy that would make time for his friends and family no matter what, the guy who stayed fit and healthy and the guy who was able to make them proud...
My 20s were an absolute train wreck and i took everyone and everything with me. Got sober at 31 35 today. My oldest has seen the whole ride but i have 2 who will never know that side of me.
I recently turned 35. My two biggest regrets: wasting time on women with high partner counts and two: not committing to being married at an early age when I found what would have been a great wife. Society really reinforces this nonsense of: find love in a heuer house and don't get married early (or at all!). All part of the anti-family agenda out there. Great video, hope we can spread the knowledge and the wisdom so the future generations have it better.
I made every mistake listed here, except number 5. What this guy says is 100% true. Finding the right woman changes everything, and because I was able to, I was able to correct the early-mid 20’s mistakes.
I’m about to be 27, if I would to say to anybody who just graduated high school and in their early 20’s entering adult hood. You know nothing and that’s okay you aren’t gonna have your shit together and that’s okay. Shit takes time to get to your goals whatever that may be. Also like he said college isn’t the key to a successful life. I’ve been blue collar since leaving high school. Just got my cdl and now a truck driver for 2 years and making a little over 65K a year with no student loan debt. Also I’m a local truck driver so I’m home everyday with my family I just wanted to clear that up. But find your niche find what makes you happy in life. I know it sounds so cliche but it’s your life. If your parents want you to be this or that screw that. Cause in the end they’ll be dead before you and you’ll be living the life they wanted you to live. Then you’ll be a miserable 50 year old stuck in a job you hate.
Had my first kid at 20, rushed way too quickly into growing up, and I crashed hard with my ex fiancé, she was definitely trouble, but we also weren’t really cut out for each other.. working out custody with my two kids now, and trying to figure out my career, and in a very happy relationship.
Im about to be 28, own a house, an acre of land, truck paid off, and engaged. My folks are much older than my peers, and raised me really old school. Im very grateful for that. The one thing im guilty of is body breaking: ive broken a finger, been cut almost to the bone, no stitches, all kinds of things, never went to the dr. Im like my dad in that respect. As im nearing 30 im starting to feel it though lol always had pretty healthy eating habits, guess i need to start going to the dr. When i get injured😆
I appreciate the talk and especially the anecdotal experience. I'm 26, just started working for a plumbing and heating company. Spent my childhood and early adulthood dealing with my parent's problems I feel like this the first time I've had the freedom to be my own person. Problem is idk what that is.
Reaching my 30s here. Listen to what this man is saying, because he is speaking the truth. I had to learn all of these things by myself and I would be in a more advantageous spot in my life if I followed some of this advices
lol I’m 26 3 kids split with the mother slept with her best friend on multiple occasions cheated lied and deceived dealing with cptsd, anxiety, depression and all the fun stuff of working kids and trying to make friends since I’m became a young dad when all my friends were in their party phase. I had a codependency with alcohol and substance not dealing with it then but definitely now. Exercising, riding/walking, painting, drawing, playing games, enjoying times with my kids everything’s looking up and taking advice from your “seniors” now is the best thing I wished I starting doing younger. Listen to your peers, grandparents, social workers anyone and everyone take snippets that you can apply to your own life and learn it’s not a cut and paste plan. Life is meant to be mistakes and uncomfortableness is just growth. Love y’all
I’m so glad I avoided all those negatives and ignored my friends who thought this was a good idea. 28 years old. Now I’m happily married to a great woman and making 700k+ and growing fast . It’s very true good decisions over time make a difference. I’m not special just tried at the right things and ignored all the stupid things. Keep it up guys 👊🏼
You actually should have kids in your 20s, just your mid 20s not early. DO NOT WAIT til your body and blood is old to pass on your life force to something new. Birth defects skyrocket as you approach 40.

brother...I been watching your channel for a bit. I liked how you had the men's hangouts before you redid your smoke/whiskey room. Can you get back to that? Nothing against the Mrs, but we all got ladies and we want a hangout with the boys---especially when we smoking a stick and drinking one down after a long day. Keep what you got going--just can you do a different live, from time to time, on the side for the boys
hey man! no one els realy seems to be thanking you for this video so here i am, im 21 and have a decent grasp of my mental being but im always interested in learning more, especially from someone such as urself, we need all the good men we can get. even as a gen Z'er i can see the issues with my generation and the following one (gen alpha) nothing and i mean nothing makes me more happy than seeing a guy teach his son/sons what it means to be a good proper guy. having good morals, ethics, and so many more things is somthing that many dads neglect to teach there kids nowadays. people expect there kids to grow up rough and tough as they did back in there day but kids nowadays even myself to an extent have and are being "softened up"........its sad that guys are made to feel bad for having the desire to be self made and independent. they (and they applies to so many people) want us to be soft and manipulatable
I like your humor a lot dude. A lot of people that have what I would consider more right wing humor can be very cringe and arrogant and the sense of really going over the top with how masculine they think they are and then everyone else needs to be. Nice blend here 👌🏽
Your advice is so biblical. It’s like everything churches teach honestly about how to have a successful life. You’d be surprised about how often churches talk about money in the sense of not getting in debt and being wise with your money, not over Aaron indulging in a lot of these areas and trying to avoid sexual misconduct and marriages and marriages to avoid nasty consequences. A lot of biblical principles are more about avoiding the consequences and not necessarily trying to avoid offending God. Only offends God because it hurts us and he loves us and wants us to have successful fulfilling good lives. I love hearing someone some cuss words and anti pc jokes saying what churches teach because it gets good god inspired wisdom to people who may not want to hear it from a priest or some pastor even if he’s a cool youth pastor lol good and true wisdom is good no matter how it’s deliverers I love positive channels like this it doesn’t have the stigma religion attached to it. I want people who aren’t religious to have good and happy successful lives also! Thanks for taking care of men, Uncle Jeremy 🥲 not to be sappy, but we really do need more men like you in the world. Men like Jordan Peterson but maybe without the political attachments that creat a stigma of conservatives or religious biases that cause people to shut off a good message to benefit them and the people around them! I love politics and religion and discussing those ideas, but I’m realizing how the worldview system comes from attract people from wanting to hear about the value system that is valuable to everyone..
PLEASE, you, and EVERYONE, if you haven't already, embrace the One True Only God YHWH Jehovah, Only One Jesus Christ His Only Begotten Son and Lord and Savior of our souls and the Only One Holy Spirit. God is good. God is love. Jesus is Lord! Jesus IS coming. Your soul depends on it!
I have seen God act in my life. He saved my soul, changed my heart, changed my mind, helped people through me, took care of people in my life, people I hurt before I found God. God is the only reason I was able to reconcile with my dad before he died.
God worked through Jesus Christ to save our souls. Jesus Christ died on the cross for our sins. Believe in your heart and confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus, and that God raised Him from the dead and you will be saved. Be baptized in The Holy Spirit, and if He wills, water as well. Repent of your sins, accept God, Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit into your heart, that Jesus Christ died on the cross for your sins.
For God so loved the world that He gave His only Begotten Son Jesus Christ, that all who believe on Him shall not perish but have eternal life. Jesus Christ is The Way, The Truth and The Life. No one comes to the Father Jehovah God but through Him.
Not long after I got saved I prayed to God for help understanding the Holy Bible, and that same day someone knocked on my door asking me if I wanted to understand the Bible. I have had times where I was thinking about Holy Bible quotes and have stumbled across them flipping through The Holy Bible at random the same/next day. God is here for you if you let Him guide you.
The Holy Bible says, "love thy enemy", "turn the other cheek", "If your enemy is hungry, feed him", "if he is thirsty, give him a drink", "pray for those who persecute you", "do not repay evil for evil".
LORD willing, all humans may commit sin of almost every kind (gay, straight), and that's wrong, and all humans sin, as God tells us through the The Holy Bible, "for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and all are justified freely by His grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus." The Holy Bible also says, "If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.", "Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you." and, “For if you forgive others their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you, but if you do not forgive others their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses."
Take care of yourself physically as well. Wear your PPE. Ear plugs, safety glasses, knee pads, respirator, etc. just because you can pick that thing up, doesn't mean it's good for your back in 10 years.
EAR PLUGS. Definitely can attest to that.
I second all of that especially ear plugs, as a 21 y/o with hearing loss already 😭

I’m 19 and already have the knee health of a 60 year old man

It never even started. It is over already for so many males. Simple as.
If you’re married in your 20’s, you’ll probably have at least one opportunity to cheat. Don’t do it! Your partner is growing like you are and will be better when they get older like you will be too. Hold off on ruining your life early, you’ll get over those feelings for someone else and you’ll be happier in the long run if you remember why you married in the first place
Real, dont assume the woman will take it lightly and forgive you, even if she does it will always haunt the relationship. if you think shes a keeper, dont try to sneak some extra action, that short satisfaction will ruin years of companionship. Im mot even married but when the day comes, i wont make that mistake
If you marry in your 20’s you will cheat
@@kentuckyproproductions1624 I would never in a million years cheat on my wife!! Before my wife, I had “dated” two other girls but both for like under 6 months and I didn’t even kiss either of them!!

And there is nothing that I won’t do to carry out my role as the male and the head of my house to provide for, protect, and lead my family with my wife right next to me!!!
Great advice bro. I’ll keep that in mind. Although I’ve never been the type to chase women and I’m pretty picky about the women I choose. But nonetheless I’m still a man and temptation comes to me like every other man.

We are all closing in on death and on looking back in the last seconds of life at everything we didn't do that we knew we were capable of but decided to tell our higher self to fuck off and wait. It always seems like there is more time when you are younger. DONT listen to that voice EVER. Get to work NOW on what you know you want to do "one day". Build discipline, wisdom, experience, hands on skills and especially understanding how to effectively navigate socially and build contacts with people who can help you advance in your growth. Find a mentor of possible. An older person who is a fixture in your community. Business owner, property owner, farmer, construction company owner, local vetranarian.... These men are worth more than gold to be friends with. And if the right sort will be the most important friendships to your quality of life than anyone from middle school that was cool.
Respect. Respect everything and everyone. And always look for a good quality in even the worst person or situation. Nothing is all bad or useless. Learn when you fall and never make the same mistake twice. Tolerate no b.s. and stand up for yourself and those around you. Speak your mind! But also become man enough to know those times when the benefit is saying nothing at all.

Im 21 and luckily, i caught on to this kind of thing when i was about 14 yrs old, so i never fell into that pit trap. Never smoked or did drugs, i drink a glass of alcohol maybe once every 3 months (only at restaurants wit friends or my wife)
I totally wasted my 20s. No money, drunk almost every day, not very fit. But in my early 30s I started to turn it around and now that I'm getting closer to my 40s I'm fittern than ever and work on my first Marathon.

Any advice for making or saving money for early retirement? I’m about to be 20
@@zacharypumpz The first step is to take a hard look at your finances. What is your income and what do you spend it for. Especially subscriptions like Netflix can be a trap that could be cut.
Next is the realisation that It's fine to start small and build over time. Start with paying yourself first, when money comes in. I started with 25€ per month that I put into an MSCI World ETF on the 1. of the month. Let it work and grow.
Meanwhile you learn new skills in stuff that interests you and look how you can make money from it. If you start early and keep at it you will be surprised how far you have come once you reach 30.
where do you get money pls give some advice
Love it brother! I married a crazy one at 21 while in the Marine Corps and it lasted a whopping 5 months and was divorced in a year and a half. Married the right woman the second time and have three grown kids and a granddaughter at 53!
Standard marine corps issued divorce
Im 24, covid days were my early 20s, myself and my friends all went through the same thing. Stopped thinking about the future and just started enjoying the time we could at the present. Now we're all older, about to turn 25 and all of us are starting to figure our futures out. I'm glad I wondered apon your video today. It's reminding me to set myself up for what's to come and to motivate my friends
24 vs 21 is crazy too. I can’t drink as much as I used to. I read much more than I used to. I work out harder. My libido is crazier at 24 than it was at 14 which is wild but I have a brain to finally channel it. Life is strange .
Puberty usually ends at the age of 25 and with it the full development of the brain.
That's why a lot of young people finally get their lifes together in the end of their 20s because they finally unlocked their full potential.
Being in puberty is like a massive disadvantage in probably the most important time of your life when you have to make the most important life decisions. (Education, Job, relationsship, ...)

thank you for your insight, sir
I just turned 36, and I’ve just started to get my life together as of a few years ago.
My 20’s consisted of weed, lots of drinking, smoking a pack of cigs a day, poor money management, not socializing, and having limited nutritional knowledge.
Fast forward to now, I bought a house 2 years ago, have a nice car, have 3 kids, beautiful fiancé, 10k in the bank, no more weed, no more cigarettes, eat clean most of the time. I still do drink. But having 3 kids and working as a head chef of a restaurant, I need something to wind down at the end of the day sometimes.
Moral of the story is that it’s never too late to get your shit together.
Doesn’t alcohol take a toll much worse than marijuana ? I don’t smoke so idk but I’ve heard people can die from being heavy alcoholic and going cold turkey
@@BreydenRobles-r8y Alcohol is 100% worse for you than weed. I also prefer something that doesn’t make me want to fall asleep. My drinking is actually controlled now, as opposed to my 20’s where it was a six pack and a nip basically every day
My friend currently acts like you did. He’s 24 and smokes so much weed that he never comes to work on Mondays because he’s always sick. I’m hoping he breaks free of his addiction before it’s too late. But he is content with dying at 50 and never having any children
@@BreydenRobles-r8y dont let them fool you - i was addicted to weed for the last 3 years its not good bro. Phycosis, cloudy, unable to be happy without smoking.

@@NorthThree6 sounds like me.
Awesome recommendations Jeremy! I'm in my early 60s and heartily agree with you. One additional thing I would recommend is to intentionally try to STAY IN TOUCH with friends and MAKE NEW FRIENDS! It's difficult, but believe me it's worth it in the end. You don't want to be an old geezer that nobody wants to talk to. Be a friend to have a friend!!!
I’m 27 and never smoke or drank in my life so I avoided what came with that, but life was super tough after I graduated college. I FULLY agree on your take about college. DON’T DO IT unless it is REQUIRED for you to get a higher education in the field you desire (doctor, lawyer, dentist, etc.). The financial side is tricky with today’s economy and job market, but do your best to be smart with how you spend your money. With women, TAKE YOUR DAMN TIME!!! Don’t rush into ANY relationship, ESPECIALLY marriage!!! Find you a good one and stay with that one because it is NOT sweet in the dating world. Take care of your body and it’ll take care of you. Always be down to learn, BUT hold on to the wisdom you gain along the way because eventually you’ll HAVE to realize that it’s YOUR journey. There’s only so much your elders can teach you before you have to start making tough decisions on your own. Some of those decisions will not align with your family’s and that’s okay as long as they are morally right and you’ve done your credible research. Don’t beat yourself up when you make mistakes. Learn from them and do better the next time around. The most important thing of all though, REMEMBER WHERE YOU CAME FROM! Be humble in life and you’ll find that you’ll have a good life AND good people around you. Being alone is NOT fun guys! Don’t be a dick lol.
These types of videos are great. Especially for me as a 25 year old guy. Keep it up, Unc.
Im 35 now. Didn't get my shit together until about 27 and while i had more fun than most people in my 20s. Im super tired now trying to catch up to where i want to be in life
As a guy who just turned 30 and wanting to improve my life and maturity, I appreciate these videos. Always great content. #boldfortune #monkeybrains
I'm 27, quitting weed, alcohol and going to the gym has been the biggest improvement for me. I did international travel for the first time ever this year which was eye opening the future is bright!
As someone who's about to be 34, who fckd up their entire 20s, there's hope... But you'll really have to buckle down and find your focus in your 30s. Whatever it is that you put off or pushed down into your subconscious, you will have to begin confronting.
Whether that's your health & fitness, lack of career ambition & direction, and/or your lack of attention in relationships. You will have to examine these things and begin to act in such a way that actually leads to the outcomes you desire. You can't escape hard work.
As someone who lost their father at 15 (I’m 21 now) I really appreciate videos like this and they have helped me a lot.
27 here, married at 26, together for 5 years, working on having kids. I have a stable career and have always been on top of my finances. Not a big drinker, never smoked. From age 20-25 I worked in NASCAR and got to travel across the US to different tracks and work on racecars. Boy that took its toll in just 5 years. Over the last 2 1/2 I've leaned into stability and setting up for a future with my wife. Appreciate the video offering advice!
26 turning 27 in a couple months. I love videos like these, even though i haven't made horrible horrible mistakes i still made a few that im learning from, specially financially.
I'll be 27 this September.👊🏿
Thankfully I grew out of this by like 26 so i got a little bit of a head start. Just started getting depressed from being hungover and feeling like crap all the time
Same here except I’m about to be 22. Partied at least every weekend if not more during almost my whole time in college (being a dj probably didn’t help). The hangovers already hurt more idk how people keep this up throughout their 20s lmao. I’ve also now learned that there is no need to get absolutely belligerent. Having a few drinks, and getting a little silly is a much better option than trying to be the most fucked up person in the room. Unfortunately, I know people much older than me who still have not grasped this concept.
I’m 19 and glad as hell I found this video as im heading off to college this august, thank you sir!

As a man in my mid-50s, co-sign on all this. At 20, I was probably in the best shape of my life. At 30, probably the worst. 40 and 50 were improving, but my goal is to hit 60 in great shape again. Already on the path. #boldfortune #monkeybrains

Some ppl don't change but I believe change is up to the beholder. ❤ I believe in you
Thank you, dear Jeremy! I'm gonna turn 18 in a couple days and I spent the last year trying to improve myself. I always avoided alcohol before (never drank), went to the gym and was caring about my diet, but recently started trying to steer my life in the right direction. So it was mainly about social exposure and knowledge gathering. The tips like these really help to get a rough understanding of what I should do and what things must be erased. Again, I can't thank you enough for sharing your knowledge with every young man out here!

It's not the end of the world to do what you're doing or what these replies are saying. Don't sacrifice your life to try to be super healthy. It's not worth it in my opinion. Live, we don't know when our last breath is!
honestly helps a lot cause in reality i haven’t done much with myself but i’m about to be 20 going into welding needing the be the working man i’m supposed to be and i’m trying to turn it around for me.
Everything in moderation, including moderation. I really like that! Currently 24 and I feel like I keep a healthy balance of keeping on the straight and narrow path while still letting myself party hard once or twice a month. I have some friends who are super straight, don’t do anything “bad”, and insist on constantly working on their lives, and they seem miserable sometimes. On the other hand, I have friends who constantly party, do drugs, and make bad decisions, and they seem miserable too. I’ve always been an advocate of walking the middle path. Daoism baby!
I love this, im in my early 20’s right now. Also i grew up without a dad, so being able to get some real life advice like this from a man like this, just great.

" a north dakota 4 ends up looking like a florida 1 " hilarious 😂😂
I’ve made almost none of these mistakes when in my 20’s. I’ve been saving since I was a young child and started getting serious about investing my money at around 26. I’m now 36, married, and have a 4 year old boy. My wife and I are absolutely killing it. We are 2 time homeowners and continue to push our net worth higher and higher every year. Start early and it pays off in the long run.
I drank and did drugs from 15 to 29 (now). Just stopped. That is my BIGGEST regret.
Stopping? 😂
sure you'll face some withdrawal
25 and kind of lost. Working super hard to try to break out of my selfish and childish habits. Not working too well. No real social life or crazy amount of friends. Just got out of an almost 5 year relationship. Don’t think I’ll be interested in women or sex at all for a while. Already been almost half a year and no drive for that at all. Always been the loner type so even if I wanted to, I don’t have much experience meeting people. My goal for the next 5-10 years of my life is to figure out who I am, aid my faults, and start learning how to have genuine connections with people and the world around me. All so I can be ready for the right one and my future family. Good luck everyone
I am 29, autistic, and non married. Growing through my late teens and my twenties, I’ve always focused on myself because I’ve only had myself. Hard to make/keep real friends and relationships. Therefor I’ve done a lot of things already such as trade school to become a luthier, working three jobs, college(associates), marine corps(dumbest decision of my 20s), college again on becoming an aircraft mechanic, going to pilots school, and now inventing & patenting a new electrical product through invent help. All of these things line up with the video BUT being in my late twenties/ early thirties, the unhealthy habit I’m going through is since I never got to party, have girls and all of that stuff, not only am I craving that now, but also am sometimes living that way. I suppose it’s a trade off. Bring autistic, I’ve always been a late bloomer. I think as each generation progresses further and further, our brains need more time to develop. Why? Most obvious reason is the technology. Secondly, health and medicine improving therefor we don’t need to “grow up” as young as past generations.
Watch Goatis reviews, especially the one he did on this video. Autism totally is reversable. You're not craving partying and girls, you just want love and acceptance and to eat your natural diet. God bless bro
I think that the fear of missing out is what messes up most people. Like you have this internal itch that you just GOTTA have a partner a better car a better house a better clothes. You GOTTA be with many people. At the party. Can't miss out. It's all in your head. 99% of those impulses don't serve you at all.
I have this conversation a couple times a week with the young guys I supervise/work with. I have also seen many guys that struggled making the transition from having free time and all of the hot new toys they couldn’t afford , but had anyway ,to being married and responsible for the well-being of a wife and children crash and burn. I’m glad I had kids young and never really went through the crazy selfish party years.
I lived by the things he suggests all my 20s and I felt and still feel completely miserable now in my 30s.
good shit, bro. wish you would have been around giving this advice 30 years ago when i was in my mid 20's! 😁
Im 23 years old and have a full time job. And i just wanna say that im proud of my accomplishments i quit smoking and drinking about a year ago sometimes I get urge to start doing my old habits over again but i now go to the gym to cope with that. Last year i used to weigh 290 lbs now i weigh 195 lbs. Thank you so much for your videos you really helped me turn my life around for the better
I’m 21…I had a promising future and a career but I picked up alcohol a year ago and weed and now this all I do I hate my self deeply so I’m always punishing myself by self destruction
You can stop right away there’s a lot of time. Trust me if you stop now you’ll only save more regret
I’m 26 almost 27, I still fuck up all the time struggle with doing to much sometimes. But I have a wife bought a beautiful home this year and just became a jourynmen ironworker. It’s not a lot but it’s something and trusting in god is definitely very helpful, I can’t complain just gotta try to keep improving in your 20s
Im 21, currently in otr training for truck driving. Never been drunk or high, stuff never intrested me. My only "problem is im 210lbs, a few months ago i was 235lbs so i am losing it but once i hit 180lbs ill be happy, healthy and have money
Never been drunk or high at 21? You already missed the fun in that shit don’t bother now
You are doing gods work here teaching young men
We need more whisky hats, loving the content. Much love.
' everything in moderation, including moderation' is the part that I am gonna take home after watching this. Maybe being a non-native en speaker have some influence on how this saying seems to me.
Good luck Jeremy and to us all, thx.
4:05 Who is watching this rn in the middle of the night
Yo😂
I'm 23, I focused on gym,investing ,and working since i was 19. would say im on the right path but i also missed out on many opportunities to just to have fun, i wish i would have went out and experienced more. I was selfish 19-21ish and I cut out a lot of friendships right out of high school. Now that i do want to be more social i have no friends lol i used to chase success over everything else but the wiser i get , i just now try to practice gratitude and enjoying the moment
just change the perspective. all the friends that used to have fun, have the struggle in what you already had in years before. I'm sure you'll find another people that have the same frequency as you, so you don't need to throw pity party because you work on yourself a lot earlier
I'm a woman in 23 and been working on every aspect of my life since 15. missed a lot of fun, but I surely socialize in optimum level (that save me from isolation and depression). and in this year, I found my new people, and a whole community that most of them around my age and man... they're f-ing productive more than me. not just in money and influence, but the cool thing they do and great networking. because they already "did" the navigation of the soul, so in this period, they really thriving and make a greater impact on larger community
I’m currently 27, never get drunk, no drugs, no gf, no job and I may consider myself immature and I’m angry at myself thinking if that. I started blaming my parents on how they raised me as a kid and it did worse in my lifestyle. Now at this point in my life i am already ruined.
Loser
Dude, you aren’t ruined. Today can be a new start. You can change your life at 17, 27, or 47. It’s your mentality. Put value in God, it puts value in you, then put value into those around you!
If you have no clue what to do join the military
When you change they way you look at things, the things you look at change
@@SuperMegaGoofyGooberI second this. This will built strong healthy habits and build your confidence and set your future up well
Not sure why YT recommended this to me, but this was single handedly the best advice I've got for my 20s, not even from my parents
26 here. My life went from pretty good to an absolute nightmare in just one day. After living well for so long and having my quality of life completely sink, I'm genuinely starting to think I should just spare myself the torture and end it all sooner than later.
Dont give up!
As someone who is the same age and going through a rough patch as of late don’t give up 🙏🏼
You’re made in God’s image, you have inherent value bro. Keep pushing
Get yourself around a friend and talk about it. Don’t give it up. Whatever you’re going through will get better. Keep pushing and stay strong. I promise you it will get better
Currently 22 bit the bullet and got a good career working in surgery, all the while watching my friends have the time of their lives. Still going to go back to school but I’m traveling now in this position and fighting all the urges to do dumb shit is still harder than ever but knowing I’m doing better than most my age and older motivates me to carry on
I’m 30 years old … never got drunk , never did drugs, I don’t have kids yet .. I have three cars a house my own money my own tow truck .
Danm bro,thats my dream
Great video. Sometimes straightforward advice is some of the most insightful. I would really love a video where you give us YOUR story. Like what you’ve done leading up to TH-cam and what your advice would be on that, etc.
I don't think you get it most people in their 20s get out anymore to begin with. Most people don't have friends. Gen z is a unique generation with unique social issues that older people haven't experienced because of the internet.
Had a little party phase when I turned 18 now Im 22 training grappling and striking for mma 6 days a week eating well taking supplements n shit competing in bjj tournaments and doing my best to build self confidence
You can do whatever you want go make your younger self proud
Gs bro keep it up 👊
I just turnwd 26, and boy did i fuck my life. I spent 18-24 drunk, high and dating some of the worst women possible, i fucked up my finances inpressing people i hate, i have a dui and a misdemeanor possession charge from it, along with lackluster credit score(650), and i messed up several great opportunities for careers and jobs that if i stuck too I'd be way farther ahead. I wish i had started my 401k when i started working at 18 and not when i turned 25. Please learn from our mistakes
It’s still early in the game for you, start right blue now
Thank you for taking the time to share your wisdom. This video has done more to try and prepare young men for their future than anything taught in highschool. With the exception of building trades and Ag.
We need this info in all schools
I am 32 now. I did everything you are saying not to do right up until I was 27. If i had not put a cap on it sooner, I might not be in as good of shape as i am now.
Just fabulous content especially these topics and also the fitness/training content vlogs :)
19 here and I wanna get a heavyyyy grasp/headstart on all of this!! I'm already smoking a shit ton and I feel like drinking is slowly following suit in the amount that I consume. I've had several good friends of mine (one of which being my longest childhood friend) pass away just this year alone. That combined with other stresses that I'm feeling (with a lack of understanding on how to deal with said feelings) I feel myself turning down a really dark road with no headlights to guide me. I want to stop, get back to the guy I was before all of this, the guy that would make time for his friends and family no matter what, the guy who stayed fit and healthy and the guy who was able to make them proud...
My 20s were an absolute train wreck and i took everyone and everything with me. Got sober at 31 35 today. My oldest has seen the whole ride but i have 2 who will never know that side of me.
As a man who just turned 30, I appreciate the advice uncle Jeremy.
I recently turned 35. My two biggest regrets: wasting time on women with high partner counts and two: not committing to being married at an early age when I found what would have been a great wife. Society really reinforces this nonsense of: find love in a heuer house and don't get married early (or at all!). All part of the anti-family agenda out there. Great video, hope we can spread the knowledge and the wisdom so the future generations have it better.
I made every mistake listed here, except number 5. What this guy says is 100% true. Finding the right woman changes everything, and because I was able to, I was able to correct the early-mid 20’s mistakes.
I’m about to be 27, if I would to say to anybody who just graduated high school and in their early 20’s entering adult hood. You know nothing and that’s okay you aren’t gonna have your shit together and that’s okay. Shit takes time to get to your goals whatever that may be. Also like he said college isn’t the key to a successful life. I’ve been blue collar since leaving high school. Just got my cdl and now a truck driver for 2 years and making a little over 65K a year with no student loan debt.
Also I’m a local truck driver so I’m home everyday with my family I just wanted to clear that up. But find your niche find what makes you happy in life. I know it sounds so cliche but it’s your life. If your parents want you to be this or that screw that. Cause in the end they’ll be dead before you and you’ll be living the life they wanted you to live. Then you’ll be a miserable 50 year old stuck in a job you hate.
Had my first kid at 20, rushed way too quickly into growing up, and I crashed hard with my ex fiancé, she was definitely trouble, but we also weren’t really cut out for each other.. working out custody with my two kids now, and trying to figure out my career, and in a very happy relationship.
thank you very much uncle Jeremy, that was a much needed talk ❤
Im about to be 28, own a house, an acre of land, truck paid off, and engaged. My folks are much older than my peers, and raised me really old school. Im very grateful for that. The one thing im guilty of is body breaking: ive broken a finger, been cut almost to the bone, no stitches, all kinds of things, never went to the dr. Im like my dad in that respect. As im nearing 30 im starting to feel it though lol always had pretty healthy eating habits, guess i need to start going to the dr. When i get injured😆
This channel been real quiet since Goatis dropped his review.
I appreciate the talk and especially the anecdotal experience.
I'm 26, just started working for a plumbing and heating company.
Spent my childhood and early adulthood dealing with my parent's problems I feel like this the first time I've had the freedom to be my own person. Problem is idk what that is.
Welcome to Janet Reno's dance party! It's operation shuty uppy time!
Reaching my 30s here. Listen to what this man is saying, because he is speaking the truth. I had to learn all of these things by myself and I would be in a more advantageous spot in my life if I followed some of this advices
Bro, Goatis made a review video about you.
You seen it?
That transition, pun intended, from Reno to Levine was flawless
That’s why I never had kids. I can buy what I want when I want and travel everywhere.
And when you travel to your death bed and close in on that next and last trip, death. It will be alone, affraid, and regretful.
@@ron1836 but I won’t be a lame parent not teaching their kids tone respectful and responsible adults.
@@ron1836Majority of people die alone.
@@kaletovhangar thats not true
@@ron1836
Are you going to throw away your entire life just because what you might assume on your deathbed?
lol I’m 26 3 kids split with the mother slept with her best friend on multiple occasions cheated lied and deceived dealing with cptsd, anxiety, depression and all the fun stuff of working kids and trying to make friends since I’m became a young dad when all my friends were in their party phase. I had a codependency with alcohol and substance not dealing with it then but definitely now. Exercising, riding/walking, painting, drawing, playing games, enjoying times with my kids everything’s looking up and taking advice from your “seniors” now is the best thing I wished I starting doing younger. Listen to your peers, grandparents, social workers anyone and everyone take snippets that you can apply to your own life and learn it’s not a cut and paste plan. Life is meant to be mistakes and uncomfortableness is just growth. Love y’all
I’m so glad I avoided all those negatives and ignored my friends who thought this was a good idea. 28 years old. Now I’m happily married to a great woman and making 700k+ and growing fast . It’s very true good decisions over time make a difference. I’m not special just tried at the right things and ignored all the stupid things. Keep it up guys 👊🏼
it's painful on a short term but really good in a longer one
So useful to hear older guys giving advice to youngsters
Don't over indulge in tattoos.
Fr
Fr im 20 and I already got many these last years and man do I regret them
Or get as many tattoos as you want because you love art, love tattoos, and your tattoos look cool or retain moments in your life.
@@livefreewithjp5251
Except 90% of "tattoo artists" are douchebags with huge egos that don't do good work and over charge if you're not a female. 😂
@@livefreewithjp5251agreed
Jeremy are you alive? A month with no videos is really blue balling us
You actually should have kids in your 20s, just your mid 20s not early. DO NOT WAIT til your body and blood is old to pass on your life force to something new. Birth defects skyrocket as you approach 40.
Just discovered this Channel. The beard video from a year ago was a lot of help and the recent whisky vid was good as well
