I’m still living with my parents. I’m in my 30s. I’m unemployed. Yeah, I’m a failure.
You're not a failure friend. The system is designed to impoverish.
Well where I live it's normal to live with ur parent well into your 30s, I know more than a 50yo that still lives with their parents, we are totally fucked economically though.
So! Stop? You're 30, not 70
if they're in the US, they might not be able to live anywhere else while unemployed.
I didn't mean stop living with parents I meant stop failing.
Shit, I failed for most of my 20s and then it got worse. Waaaaay fucking worse, like, I Mean it when I say worst than for most people. I don't really want to get into it here, but bad.
And then I learned some lessons and worked my ass off and here we are.
