we spend our 30s trying to make up for mistakes in our 20s...is that true for some of yall???

2nd chances

not even mistakes..but jsut doing things we were supposed to do when we were in our 20s..then we spend 40s making up for what we needed to our 30s..constnatly playing catchup

i find that its often common with black folks than others...you have so many black folks in their 30s now going to school when they should've done it back then....these white folks do most of that thing in their 20s and spend the rest of their life stacking bread and building wealth etc ..

anyway is the situation true for you? why do you think you are in this position..?

we'll see when I get there.

There isn't a set number of things that one necessarily "needs" to do before you reach a certain age (I imagine there could be some exceptions). Everyone matures at their own pace and you'll actually end up playing "catch-up" a whole lot quicker if you're trying to do things you're not ready for just because you think you're supposed to be doing them.

I fucked up my early 20's but I'll those wrongs made right by 30. I got straight A's this semester

pralims

To a degree...

Black_Samson

ffffffuuuuck no...

that time is done and gone... aint no getting that back, learn from your errors and keep it moving, thats part of being an adult. you gotta get past shit.

constantly reminding yourself you are a fuck up has to play hell on the psyche and self esteem...

Stopitfive

I didn't even read the o/p... U niggas love u some white ppl... Shit is disgusting...

King Erauno

You are only playing catchup if you really fuck up and just do what you are suppose to do as an adult and you'll have nothing to worry about. Just take things slow and easy and work yourself hard when you are suppose to work hard.

so what?? at least some black decide to get it together, getting to a million at 25 is awesome, but getting to a million at 35, aint the end of the world either

My 20's have been filled with beautiful and beneficial decisions.

Last mistake I made was waiting to pirate Far Cry 3, and I rectified that by pirating Far Cry 3.

Shit quote.

Really depends on the person.

Some people spend their teens fucking up so by the time the 20s roll around they're on track.

Regardless of when you get started, most are bound to make some dumb mistakes before they get it together.

Wild Self

I started to correct the MAJOR mistakes around 24 and been on the right path since.

not me... if I don't have a solid retirement date in mind by the time I'm 45, then something went majorly wrong between now and then.

Black_Samson

i think making up for the 20's is a bad term...

i call it self assessing and self adjusting...

learning from the past.

orrr...


History.

He spitting that old game but its real talk.
You move right next time bc u learned how u fell off

dalyricalbandit

I still have 4 years of mistakes to make if thats the case

I agree to a point. I really hate when I see the older generation encourage the youngsters to basically fuck off in their 20's as if it's a right of passage. All this YOLO bullshit is killin this generation. Other cultures may take some time to party and bullshit, but by the time they are mid 20's you see them with a stable career, home etc. That mentality needs to die in our community. You ain't never too young to get your shit together

shit happens

Ain't hit 30 yet I haven't made to many mistakes maybe a few missed opportunities because of my stubbornness but everythang has come full circle so I'm good I just need to clean up a few investments and put more money into my sons accounts other that that I just want to experience life

Sneak Dissa

Nah... I'm making brand new mistakes.

also a lot of these glorious white people you speak of have the benefits of privilege that many of our poor lowly negro brethren lack and therefore have to work harder and longer (nh) for.

one of the mistakes you might want to work on correcting is looking at things on a surface level and thinking in simplistic binary terms.

skpjr78

I kicked it in my 20s but i handled my business to so as of now my 30s r ok. i was the youngest in my family so i observed my sister & cousins fuck ups & learned from their mistakes.

hank aaron said he hit most of his homeruns in the on deck circle just by watching the pitcher. i did the same. i peeped game and learned what/what not to do from them. smart ppl dont have to get burned to realize that fire is hot. dumb niggas cant figure that out to save their sorry ass lives

High Revolutionary
