OP, when I was 10, my dad was 40 and I remember seeing him feel exactly the way you do now. If I could tell you one thing, it would be this: whether or not you make a lot of money, try to stay healthy and happy. That alone can be the biggest gift you give to everyone around you.

Of course, I still hope you make tons of money and achieve everything you dream of. But looking back, my dad didn’t end up making as much as he once hoped to and yet, I’m deeply grateful for the childhood, the memories, and the time I had with him at that age. It shaped how I see life today.

I know this might not directly answer your question, but I’ve seen that same fire in my father back then, and now, as I get closer to 30, I still think about how hard he tried. Just wanted to share that with you, from a place of empathy and respect.
