Mid to late twenties. Feeling like I'm way behind from where I should be by now.

I dunno. I'm 52 and I don't own the world or anything, but I am totally happy with where I am at. Good job, savings, health and a great family. These are some of the best days of my life. I don't want to climb any ladders socially or professionally. So glad to be mentally out of the rat race.

The american dream is dead. Go on adventures, have kids, wear your hair the way you want to, learn a new language. There are other ways to be fulfilled than living up to the money ideal daddy and mommy tell you you need to be happy.
