I hate to sound like /pol/ but you're getting the red pill effect.

only a small percentage get the job/life they want. Despite whatever contrarian says they know (but lying to themselves) that life is about compromise.

It's easy to say everything is attainable and so is writing ideas on web forum. And you're only 22 you dumb faggot you have plenty of time.

If making as much as your parents is what you want then it is a win.What did you want? Rich and famous?

>Landed an 80k/year job in slave labor software shit

>All my friends make pennies, they live paycheck to paycheck and grow distant, won't take my advice
>Settle for workmates that sometimes send me some funny picture on fb but don't share interests or sense of humor


I knew it was lonely at the top, but why the fuck is it lonely at the middle too.

What "could" have happened is irrelevant. If you're happy where you are, great. If you aren't, try to change it.
