What’s your honest advice for a young person struggling with rent, money, and finding a job, still relying on parents financially right now?
Not looking for “just work hard,” genuinely curious what actually got you through a phase like this, and how you dealt with the guilt of relying on parents at this age.
I just feel like I’m running behind something, not even sure what exactly, money, stability, proving something to myself, maybe all of it at once. Curious if anyone else has felt that and figured out what they were actually running from, or toward…
Just be doing something. Beit volunteer, art, education, etc. I went through a phase like that, it sucks. But you’ve just gotten get out there.
Have you looked into the trades? That’s what I did and have zero regrets. You’ll never be ballin like Rockefeller, but you’ll have a bit of financial autonomy. And it feels good to fix/make things that people rely on.
