Life Advice

I (24M) am dating a woman (26F) who we’ll refer to as A. For some context I drive a 2019 Nissan GT-R. It was my dream car growing up and I told myself when I “made it” and made enough to afford it financially and not have it be everything in my bank account.

I work a job making close to 6 figures and I’ve learn to invest in stocks and crypto I’ve made some good money but of course stocks and crypto are never promised and could crumble tomorrow.

Let’s face it, the idea of aging can be daunting. Wrinkles, aches, and maybe even the dreaded rocking chair come to mind. But what if I told you that your golden years could be some of the most vibrant, fulfilling chapters of your life? It’s all about planting the seeds of success right now, in the present moment.

Think of it like gardening. You wouldn’t expect to toss a few seeds in the ground and magically have bountiful roses bloom the next day, right? It takes tending, nurturing, and a little bit of know-how to cultivate a thriving garden. And the same goes for your future self.

So, you want an easy life. No surprises, no struggles, just smooth sailing from dawn to dusk. Sounds nice, right? Well, I hate to break it to you, but the easy life is a myth. Not only does it not exist, but the pursuit of it can also lead you down a path of mediocrity and unfulfilled potential.

I am a 30 year old male. I have a well paying job (roughly 100k per year). No debt.

My girlfriend has 250k in private student loans (from undergrad private school) with a variable interest rate. Recently the interest hit over 11% and doing the math on the loans has me devastated.

With how fast it is growing… she will need to put 25k a year into it just to keep it in the same place. That basically guarantees that I will never have financial help during our relationship. Additionally, with how much she will need to work just to pay on the loans.. I won’t have much help around the house or with our kids (if/when we have some) either.

let’s talk about something that’s probably more familiar to you than your favorite coffee mug – fighting to be right. You know what I’m talking about.

It’s that moment when you’re in an argument, and suddenly, it’s not about solving the problem anymore. It’s about winning. It’s about proving that you’re right and they’re wrong, end of story.

Let’s talk about that thing you do when you’re upset but don’t want to admit it. You know, when you slam doors a little too hard, or give one-word answers, or suddenly become “busy” when someone asks for help.
