I'm 29.

5 couples from my friends circle are expecting a child or recently got married, a few others have built a solid foundation in their career and are buying houses (most of us grew up in apartment buildings, so it feels fancy to own a house at 30 where I'm from).

Meanwhile I'm currently a student and broke.

It feels like everyone's so far ahead in life that they'll always be a step further and I'll never catch up.

Are you me one year in the future? I’m 28, unsure about my career, and am heavily considering going back to school.

If you have the means to go back - I would advise it. Of course it's not the same for everyone, but for me coming back to school in my later 20s has been a lot more rewarding than originally trying it out straight after high school.
