Nope! If you want a stand, you gotta take an arrow to the knee:
CAAAEEEESSSAAAAAAAR!!!
I just turned 30 this year. I was hoping I would be dead before that happened but I stopped the heavy drug and alcohol abuse. Now get the hell off my lawn!! >=(
I would say marry someone good with money, unless you are. I’m horrible with money. When I was a kid, I was basically taught spend spend spend. My wife is amazing with money. She comes from poverty and she really knows how to make our money go far. She gets all the credit for everything we have.
I’m 94586348562348563845638465348563 years old and I’m okay with it.
This is SRK, if you feel you haven’t accomplished anything, you should know that it means that you need to step your shit up.
Get in control:

Just wanted to chime in on this concept of the: insert age is the new insert age that will inevitably show up in a thread like this if it lasts long enough. Example: 30 is the new 20. Disclaimer: This shit only applies if you take care of yourself!
Don’t drink, don’t smoke, diet, exercise, stay active, stop procrastinating on fixing that goddamn acne problem already before your face is covered with acne scar tissue, keep fixing yourself up, etc, etc.
For those of you shameless super-slob types…30 will NOT be the “new 20” for you. You’re fugg’in thirty!
I say this because i started college rather late and so all the friends i have from that time are a good 5+ years younger than I however, you wouldn’t know it. I’m 31 and people are always complementing me on how i look for my age. While some of my 20-something friends are already beginning to look like old white trash to be blunt. Its unfortunate but they just don’t take care of themselves.
Edit: Same goes for the “Age is just a number” crap. That only applies if you take care of yourself and give a damn, otherwise that number is very real!
you’ll be fine. i was in the exact same situation as you. i graduated late with an engineering degree and i gained weight while i was at home playing games and surfing srk. i took a contract job and i used it as a spring board for my career right now. age is just a number. don’t give up and keep trying to find a job. remember an engineering degree qualifies you for almost any position and i took a job that is not even engineering. life is pretty good for me right now. i make enough to raise a family of four and i’m single.
I’m 36, unmarried, childless, have no particular career path or goals, don’t own a house or a vehicle, and the only thing I regret is the years and thousands of dollars I wasted at university. I have a manageable amount of debt and not a single health problem, no responsibilities or stress, and I’ve travelled a lot.
I know other men my age who live the way they’re ‘supposed’ to, with mortgage payments, car payments, a gaggle of obnoxious, ungrateful children, a fat ugly gut and a wife to match, health problems, money problems, depression, you name it.
There is no singular recipe for fulfillment and happiness.
Don’t let other people’s standards and expectations rule your life
I’m 18, graduated HS last month, and going to college in August. I’m not looking forward to growing up. I don’t even know what I want to major in/pursue a career in. 
Lol. Bitter beer face.
Supposed to live is subjective. You live to your own level. If you want to just scrap by cool. If you want to live the good life work hard.
You know i always get tempted by pussy. Not like i crave side pussy. It just presents itself.
This latina told me i look better bald because my head is round and i have a young face even with the beard. Girls love facial hair nowadays. She said i look 23, told her i was 28 and she looked at me with those eyes. It is wierd getting complimented. Especially since most of my life i have been a big guy with a big gut and horrible hair. She was 23 and had no kids, anomoly for a cute mexican.
Zero all around and beard combo. Aka the balding twenty something
I dont want to live past 43
How the hell is 26 old? I thought you didn’t get ‘old’ until you hit your 40s.
And I’m pretty sure being 30 is a lot being in 20s with a not-as-nice hairline…
Do we have a choice? Deal with it.
I read an article last year about a study that found that people are generally happier the older they get. Whether that’s some effect of wisdom and maturity, or just softening of the head, I can’t say, but it’s encouraging nonetheless.
Couldn’t care less about faggots who laugh at me for not living up to their own twisted expectations.
Not afraid of getting old either.
I spent the last 10+ years in Europe and Asia. My last gf was a model and hula dancer. My current job pays enough that I can do anything I want and still put $1500 a month into savings. That’s not too bad is it? If it all ends tomorrow I regret nothing but I have a chip on my shoulder and feel that I can do better.
Twenty-six isn’t old, it was a misleading statement. It’s just that I was a lazy bum and procrastinated the living daylights out of life when I got out of high school, missing all of the good things in the early twenties. And above all, the attractive dating pool shrinks. Regrets are piling up.
TRT bro, just use some HRT to feel like you are a teenager and get huge and muscled out
Stressing out this much at such an early age. Are you Asian by any chance?
Yo, I spent 15 years backpacking across some country, I bought a house in 199something and its worth a million times more. I have some wife thats gorgeous and was my grade school crush since grade school. I have a huge johnson thats hard to carry. Im buff as fuck. I only wear the finest shoes. I bunch of other shit too…I just feel like braggin’.
If you are my age (19) and are not in the same position, you are the scourge of the planet. die.
p.s. Ive never actually left california. I thought The Wife was creepy when we were kids. I have a tiny johnson. I mostly wear flipflops. We live in a duplex. Im on disability. Not very glorious. Do I care about getting old? Nope. Am I happy? Yup. Do I want more? Sure, I suppose, doesnt everyone?
I am definitely not ok with it, or i wasn’t until i got sick and almost died… shit tends to change your perspective extremely quickly. I feel so much older than everyone else around me in my age group, it’s tough to relate to people still filled with optimism like i used to be.
