    I went back to college at 32 to get an associate's degree. Married, had 2 little girls. Got a student loan. Went to school at night as much as possible when kids were home with daddy. I was sick of making peanuts. Quadrupled my income, by doing that. Best move I ever made.

    Life is not over in your 30s. You can start your life over in your 30s if you messed up your 20s. It’s never too late. Don’t listen to everything people say online. Make a plan and execute. Sometimes people are “stuck” in their 20s due to past traumas. Some are late bloomers. But it’s never and I mean NEVER too late. Some people do ten times better in their 30s and set up their life for success.

    We have a 15 year old car 300k in investments 401k 250k 100k in Roth IRA 6 month emergency fund just bought a home in a very desirable neighborhood. We invest more than we spend. Everyone thought we were broke until we bought our home. I’m 35. It can be done. Move in silence and throw everything into investments and high yield accounts. We don’t even make a lot of money we just don’t spend. Only invest in things that make you money. It’s never too late. It’s true about relationships cousins came and saw our home which is worth 600-750k and they started treating us in a very transactional way. Needless to say we keep them at arms length.

      I started my savings with company match at 29, navy from 19-29 almost no saving but va loan for house. Every raise I got I put towards 401k until it was maxed out. Then started to paying off mortgage. Then started a Roth IRA and 1 year expense. Was laid off and started new job with 1/2 pay. So did not contribute to the Ira or a 401 for almost 8 years. But my rollover it still doubled in that time. New job, So back to maxing out new 401 and Ira again. At 58 I close to what most people need to retire, but most likely will work until 65 for medical cost for family. But nice to know I can now make it if laid off again.

      I can point out one thing that’s different today….Social Media is far more prevalent amongst all demographics. Yes, it existed back in 2008, but it was mainly used by high-school and college students back then.
      Now, everyone has a voice on social media. People are far more open about discussing their situations with everyone, which in turn leads to more people sharing their similar situations. The problem though is you can end uo with a very one sided story. Yes, some people are struggling today, just like some people were struggling back in 2008. The thing is that not everyone was struggling back then, just like not everyone is struggling today. Today, you’re hearing far more individual struggles than ever before. It’s not necessarily that more people are struggling today, just that we’re now able to hear all of their stories.

    People I agree with you. This is why I don't feel sorry for these fools. Most people you see go on a cruise and got no money. They used a credit card to pay for it when they come back. They're the oldest bills to pay back that. Don't make sense if you go on a cruise. Save up the money painting cash. So when you come back, you have no nothing to pay back. It's that simple sync before you spend people.

We lived off of chicken, fried rice, peanut butter and banana sandwiches along with any food people from friends or family who were cleaning out their pantry, we had no shame. We simply said if you’re cleaning out your pantry or your freezer we will come to your house and pick it up. It doesn’t matter if it’s six cans of cranberry jelly we will take it. We paid off our mortgage in two years and 11 months!!! we didn’t go on vacations. We didn’t eat out we didn’t go to movies we didn’t have cable no beer our family thought we were completely deranged until we told them our mortgage was paid off then all of a sudden, we were the brilliant money managers in the family and wanted advice until they found out.

      In Florida, it’s the rising cost of insurance, property tax, rent and groceries . Lifestyle hasn’t changed, in fact I do less and spend less on activities and wants. And still the cost of basic needs are exceedingly hard to catch up with due to the low wages. I’m looking into taking courses to get into another career, I’m hoping that’ll help. Or possibly move out of the state.

    It is not too late to get things turned around at 30, but the sense of urgency has to be turned up a notch. Anecdotal, but I had to do a complete restart at 31 after chipping away at a degree for years while working, and then finally finishing a degree in Finance by going full time (including summer) from the age of 30 to 31 and starting from scratch. Some good timing played a part, but just being willing to put ego aside, work some long hours and being willing to learn has gone a long way. Investing wisely while driving a 2001 vehicle from 2011 to 2023 and replacing it with a 2014 vehicle (Toyota) has put us in a good financial position despite the late start. It can be done. Side hustles can also help to build the nest egg.

    I didn’t put myself in this situation. I was laid off due to discrimination against my disabilities and being a veteran. I worked very hard for that company. I was laid off without warning and because I was self employed in 2023 I was not able to get unemployment benefits. I did have savings but do you not understand the economy? Also you live in the Midwest where it is way cheaper than a lot of big cities. I am also a civil engineer and my degree is actually useful. I think some aspects of your channel are impossible which strings viewers along to keep your viewers up. Not all of us had a great childhood and supportive families. You also have a wife that has helped you. I will say that I haven’t quite broken the broke mindset. Just be careful because there are some serious factors involved. I am about to go homeless and my parish (I am Orthodox Christian) has had to pay for temporary housing, my bills and healthcare and food. I am a veteran but I haven’t drawn benefits which can take months. I am also severely sick. I am 37 years old and need to get it together. I have a shit family and childhood. I am also currently in a lawsuit against the former employer and yes I have documents to prove the discrimination. How do I setup consultations with you so I can know what direction to go in a business?
