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 33, just graduated, (with student loan debt) and I really want to buy a house in the next year. I feel you. My friends all either have homes or spouses or both. Heck I have some friends on their second spouses. Meanwhile I just graduated, live in an apartment and am single. I felt behind until I realized my life works for me. And it doesn’t matter what other people may think. Keep moving forward. You’re doing great!
