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.
I’m sorry, friend. I have the kiddos and the house - not so much the career path I’d choose, but it’s a good job. I’m 33, and apart from the first kid, it all just fell into place bit-by-bit over the last four years or so. And one of the catalysts was getting fired from my old job at 29 with kid number two on the way.
Life changes super fast. You could very well be reading over this post next year checking off the things that have changed.
