You'd think even by pure chance, they'd have snagged and kept a few things worth a decent amount of money, yet apparently many Xers millennials are poised to inherit garage-loads of just pure crap.

For the past three months, I’ve had a ton of people tell me that if I had actually retired at 27 and was comfortable, I’d be on vacation all the time instead of hanging out with them. “You would be on a beach somehow” is what tons of npcs say.

My response has always been, “My life is a vacation.”

I finally took a two-week vacation recently.And honestly? It felt like work.
I knew beforehand that it probably would, but actually doing it confirmed it.

Normies think vacations are the ultimate form of relaxation simply because everyday life is so stressful and retired people are on vacation somewhere every second. Normies must be so stressed every second.

I tnink if your everyday life is already stress free, flexible, and genuinely enjoyable, a vacation can actually feel like more effort than just living your normal life.

I’m curious whether this is a difference in perspective. Do vacations become less appealing the less stress you have in your day-to-day life? Or am I the odd one out?

Hi guys. I’m a 36 year old male paralegal. I’m tall and good looking and don’t fit the demographic. After college I got into law school but couldn’t go because I’ve had a long history of personal and psychological problems and spent years drinking it all away while working at law firms. I feel that I was truly supposed to be a lawyer but my background is messed up and I’m a bit of a broken person. So I just stayed in paralegal land.

In my 20’s I made like $30k, $50k, $70k. I had the med school girlfriend who I couldn’t keep up with who ended up with a guy from a rich family.

Of course an outsider like me who couldn’t reach his potential tried to make it another way: taking out loans to invest in crypto. And I lost bad.

I was lucky and got a job in SF as a paralegal making something like $170k total comp after overtime and everything. But I still have one more year to go to pay off this debt and by then I’ll be 37 years old.

I’m in a good tier of law firms now but paralegal career trajectory isn’t as stable as lawyers. If I lose this job I might have to make like $75k in a year from now. Or, my luck could go positive and I could land as similar job to the one I have now.

No wife. No kids. Failed at life in a sense.

My question is. What do I do? Pay this debt and then try to do night law classes and become a lawyer by 41? Then try to get the wife and kids?

Accept my fate and be happy I have this job and once out of debt max 401k and index funds and try to keep this level of pay for the next 20 years?

As I mentioned I’m tall and good looking but when I go on dates with women a lot of them seem to find my career incompatible?

I realize that some people might think my position is relatively good and others mights think it’s terrible. Still need to pay off this debt for a year. What do I do in the next 5 years?
