No one has ever fixed their lives after 20. It only gets worse if you're not rich as a teenager or popular online before then. Everything after 20 is just drug addiction and fighting.

That’s just not true. I was an unemployed drop out fire a while in my early 20s and got married and bought a house at 30.

My brother was a single father with a useless degree working part time at a pizza chain at 20. Through most of his 20’s he worked for a temp agency making minimum wage. Around 30 he found a job in a machine shop and they paid for his apprenticeship and now he’s their top employee. He’s in his late 30s now and is the happiest I’ve ever seen him.

Another brother I have failed a bunch of high school classes, barely graduated, then turned a crappy construction job into becoming a union carpenter in his 20s. He owns a house, got back together his high school girlfriend. They have 3 kids and are a very happy family now.
