I'm 28 years old.
I currently work a warehouse job I love, and want to work toward management in the future , I also work part time as a supervisor at a big retail store.
I love working both jobs , and even though my combined income is modest ($47000 a year ) I am constantly battered with accusations of being unambitious.
And honestly it really hurts me sometimes. I have no debt , and I can save $1300 a month comfortably, I live alone in a one bedroom apartment.
I don't drive because I live in a big city and see it as a huge money waster. But people make condescending remarks about it.
Or if I say I have no interest in buying a house I get laughed at.
I just don't want anything else , as long as I can save for retirement and enjoy my hobbies ( film ) I'm happy as a pig in shit.
But I'd be lying if I said those comments didn't get to me sometimes. Recently my wife left me because she thought I was unambitious, even though I'm sure there were other reasons.
How do you deal with it? I feel like I'm constantly questioning my decisions even though most of the time I'm happy.
