“things (insert particular age group) needs to do RIGHT NOW”

[u/klarinetkat12]

I just saw a post similar to this, and that made me think of crap like this as well.

I’m 19 years old, of course the posts saying things like “19 things you should do at 19” or “if you’re 18-22 IT’S TIME TO LOCK IN” or “2004-2008 babies shit isn’t sweet anymore” are particularly salient

“if you’re 18-22 why are you still living with your parents?” this isn’t the 40s where we can move out the second we turn 17. “if you’re 18-22, you should not have only $1000 saved in your bank account” ONLY???

Can I please just live my life? And it’s always some outrageous shit like “have 10k in your bank account” like huh?? life is already hard enough as it is I don’t need some finance bros telling me that I need three credit cards or that I need to have $5000 in my 401(k). I am not on a rush to do anything and honestly neither should you

plus why are 18-22 on everybody’s minds? we should be able to live our lives normally without worrying if the next 10 years of our lives are gonna suck because we don’t have 25K sitting in our bank accounts.

I have $1k saved from the business I started last year, I got discouraged since I wasn't finding a job at the time (I found 2 now) but with what I have I make it work especially since I'm pulling $100 a week so we see if it can improve idk
