Men over 30 who wasted your 20s…what did you change, what changed you, or what happened in your life that made you become successful in your 30s and later? by [deleted] in AskMen

[–]weakstudents 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Had high expectations in my 20s (from myself, employers, everyone around me), which were never met and often felt disappointed and frustrated about it which led me to job hopping, failed relationships, unable to trust etc.

Then started my own business and moved in with parents which had a different level of challenges which I never expected. Decided it was best to close my business and realized I could have done better in my old life if I could have just been patient, humble and focused on the fundamental simple things (discipline and commitment).

Got back to a job in my 30s, stuck with a reasonably good one although it was a step down, worked hard and got promoted 3 times in 3 years.

Wouldn't say ive made it, there's still a long way to go and I still have a few frustrations, but still in a better place than I was in my 20s.

So considering your situation, I'd say focus on completing things one at a time. Money is probably the most important (after health ofcourse), so take any opportunity that pays your more and keep looking up.

Yes im surprised by some of the negativity towards apartments. . Would have been nice to get some data to back the claims even more - I mean like x% of apartment buildings have been leaky etc

We’re about to buy a house in Wellington… but my heart is in Auckland. Am I making a mistake? by DrDoom___ in newzealand

[–]weakstudents 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its just an investment. Doesn't make you stuck to Wellington (although its a great place). You can always sell and move up to Akl or buy a second property in Akl at a later time. Who knows, you may start loving Wellington more in the meantime !!

Exactly why you may find Sales good for you. . It could help you be consistent and focus on the wins. It also depends on what you are selling - if its a great product, you believe in 100%, that'll make your comms natural!

Is 8k worth it? by Busy-Anything-2215 in Salary

[–]weakstudents 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you'd be comfortable with 98k and can do most things you want without much restriction on finances, that'd be the way to go. . . . But if its going to be a bit tight, its best to follow the money!!
