24F. I’m so frustrated. I realized I didn’t want to pursue my intended career at 23. I planned meticulously, moved to a cheaper state, and worked hard. I had my own apt. I was saving money. Covid hit, and my life went upside down. I see all these finance apps showing savings of 50k, 90k, whatever and I’m starting to feel like I can just never get there. Please be realistic with me. I don’t have a fucking clue how I’m supposed to own a house or retire or anything. It feels like I’ll always be struggling. I came from strugglers (maybe moreso self sabotagers) and while I don’t repeat their mistakes it feels like I have nothing to look forward to financially. I couldn’t even pay towards my very reasonable student loan debt making 40k, and I lost that job to the virus and now I barely clear 25k.
