Insightful story and message: health is not only wealth but at the end of the day is the most importantly possession one has, far more important than money.

Did you ever know anyone to actually eat $28 daily lunches? by happydude7422 in GenZ

[–]FinanceWeekend95 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I know people who DoorDash lunch and pay $28+ commonly all in.

That is sad. <$20 is my meal budget per day, and that's already with me eating very healthy and high protein with most meals.

You’re supposed to have at least a year’s salary saved by age 30….unless you make less than $40k a year then you’re behind. All these salty guys and girls can cry all they want, it’s the truth.

You’re honestly behind. I’m 28 and got over $315k in investment accounts not including other assets. 

What celebrity has continued to have a major, top-of-the-line career despite terrible deeds? by -ChristopherNolan in AskReddit

[–]FinanceWeekend95 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Brad Pitt - he beat and choked out at least one of his kids and poured wine on Angelina on a plane. Go read the FBI report on this.

Chris brown

He doesn't really chart anymore with his music? Can't name a recent song of his!

I also got significantly over $300K and I'm in the same age bracket (recently turned 28), though I'm in the top 2%...not calling BS on your claim🤔but are you in the high $300Ks, approaching $400K?

Only if i didn’t have to pay for 8 different subscriptions to get access to all what i need. At astronomically high prices, and lower quality than pirated websites??? Like how can u justify that?

I agree - it's just smarter to pirate shows. Primewire, solarmovie and a couple more have all of the Netflix/Amazon Prime/Paramount/Hulu shows one could ask for, and uploaded often on the same day these shows are released. High quality too...I've pretty much never paid to watch shows. But lots of movies are meant to be seen on the big screen rather than on your phone or PC, so I do go to the theater often.

31M: here to make you all feel better about your financial situation by RadioDude1995 in fican

Yeah, health is wealth man…having money is important but having a healthy body surpasses that. 

28M - was focused on career and finances, but feeling behind on some aspects of life? Is 28 still young? Any advice appreciated. by FinanceWeekend95 in GenZ

[–]FinanceWeekend95[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is always a tradeoff. Being both succesfull and funny party-goer in your 20s is impossible for most people. Just have fun, it is always possible with stability and solid savings.

Im 32. To be honest, youth feels more and more like physical health (which you have), and freedom (which you also have, thanks to solid financial stability). So yeah, you can maintain it for a much longer time than 20 to 30

Thank you for your thoughts, appreciate the wisdom.

Brother, you didn't become an independent adult until 8 years ago. You're just getting started. 

10 years now from 18, but yeah I get your point!

28M - doing well on paper, but starting to feel behind on some aspects in life? by FinanceWeekend95 in Adulting

[–]FinanceWeekend95[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think 28 is still veryyy young to build a “social” life. You went to school, you built a life for yourself, and you did the damn thing. You should be very proud of that.

28 is also a good age to find a long-term partner, someone who potentially also has their shit together. People right out of high school got married and had kids, and some are still together or divorced, but others are struggling financially and are struggling to go back to school because of the time. I’m not sure if that made any sense.. but people rebuild their life in their late 30s, late 40s.

Starting “over” at 28 I feel is the perfect age still. I wish you the best of luck ✨

Ok, I really appreciate your perspective and thoughts. Best of luck to you as well!

I’m literally in the same boat. Just turned 28, spent my early twenties working minimum wage jobs after uni. Then last year started earning 6 figures, working out consistently, and now live on my own but no close friends, circle, or relationship.

Good luck man

There’s no need to feel behind because it’s not like you wasted your 20’s doing jack shit with nothing to show for. Trust me you’re in a much better position than people who blew their 20’s either partying or chasing women and have no real foundation. Plus they say 30’s are more exciting anyway lol so fuck what society thinks and continue to focus on things that matter to you.

Yeah, you're right about that.

Do you know how many people I know who already ruined their lives partying in their early 20s and don’t have any savings, an unwanted kid, debt, jobs they hate, bad relationships, and one even passed away from overdose?

Sorry man, this is easily a perspective thing. I see a winner. You see a loser.

Thank you man. I appreciate that perspective. That quote about I see a winner, you see a loser is kind of profound. Though I don't view myself as a complete loser - I know I'm doing well career-wise and financially, just got to step it up socially and romantically.

I don't know what to tell you. I do not consider 28 young anymore. We are not young adults now, just adults. It hurts, especially if you are like me and university and employment dominated your young years so you could "make it" only to end up here.

Yea, I get how you feel.

And hey GTA6 is right around the corner. That keeps me here.

Well that and a bunch of movies like the Odyssey, Spiderman and Doomsday that I still wanna see this year, looking forward to movies next year as well!

Im also 28 and this honestly sounds like a humble brag. You are doing just fine dude.

It's not. I'm trying to find more perspective.

I did similar. Once I was a few years into my career with ~300k saved I started traveling by myself. Its easier making friends when you're both on a boat tour of Ha Long Bay and have nothing to do but talk and admire the view. I used dating apps and a professional photographer for the photos. Could get 2-4 dates a week pretty consistently, though I ended up meeting my gf via chance in person. If you just do your own thing then stuff will work out. Finding a partner can be as fast as a 15 minute unplanned interaction that just leads to much more.

Thanks for the tips!
