There has to be a better system than this.

    Don’t wait until retirement. Balance your life now. It’s going to be a long slog.

    You don’t need to find an amazing career that you’ll love doing until you die. People who get that are extremely lucky, and it’s not the norm. You just need a job that will support you while still giving you time to do the things you enjoy.

      As I tell my kids repeatedly. I am the exception not the rule!

      It’s so bloody annoying a 13 year old is supposed to know what they want to do with their life. I fell into my career in IT at 25 after dropping out of college twice, running my own business unsuccessfully and generally doing my best to survive. Now I make 150k which is both too much and not enough money.

      Point being, do what’s right for you and only you.
