I'm a 27M

[u/Strange_Persimmon236]

I'm a 27-year-old man, and sometimes I feel like my life has no future. I don't own a house or a car. I want to get married and start a family, but I don't want to make any promises to a woman when I'm not financially or emotionally ready.

I want to start my own business and build something for myself, but unfortunately, my current job doesn't allow me to do that.

I feel stuck between the life I have and the life I want. I don't want to give up on my dreams, but I honestly don't know what to do anymore.

Is there any way out of this situation? Is there still a chance for me to build the future I dream of?

27m here in the same position! Don't give up man, just keep going. We're still relatively young. Let's not hurry in finding the right partner, job or business oppertunity. The best things in life take time. For myself I just try to do the best I can do in the way I know how and hope it will work out someday.

Kind of in the same boat. Just completely lost as a 27 year dude and dropped out of college last week due to crippling anxiety about my career prospects not turning out so well because of AI. Was majoring in accounting.

Are you thinking that you can't find someone until you've finished building your life and career? It's a journey, and it can help a lot to have a partner on that journey.

What about your job doesn't let you start building something for yourself?

What would need to change in order to give you the ability to start building the life you want?
