Turning 40 With Regrets: A Warning About Wasting Your 20s

40 and I wasted my life.

I've got nothing to show for it. No house, no savings,

no career that I'm proud of. And if you're in your 20s

or even your early 30s and you think you've got time,

I'm telling you right now, you don't.

If you're in your 20s right now and you're listening to this, stop

thinking you've got unlimited time. Stop doing it.

You don't have unlimited time. You think it's harmless to keep

chasing women

and wasting money and avoiding responsibility.

But one day, one day you'll wake up

and you'll realize you've got no leverage.

You've got no power,

absolutely no clarity

and no way to get those years back. One day you will wake up

and you will be 40.
