Older generations say “we all struggled in our 20s.”
No, you didn’t.
You didn’t have $3,000 rent and $11 eggs.
You didn’t graduate with $60K in debt and zero job security.
Gen Z isn’t dramatic.
They’re drowning.
I’m 27
- no plan
- no savings
- no friends
- no hairline
- no routine
- no motivation
- no idea what the “right move” is
- no clue how everyone else has it together
Is it over for me?
If you want to retire early, here’s honest advice:
be boring for a very long time.
No exciting purchases, no lifestyle upgrades, just quiet consistency while everyone else “enjoys life.”
You’re not addicted to crypto.
You’re addicted to the idea that one good cycle
could undo years of financial pressure, bad salaries, and falling behind.
Crypto just happens to be the only place where that still feels possible.
If you’re broke, aim for $30 a day.
$30 x 7 = $210 a week
$210 x 4 = $840 a month
$840 x 52 = $43,680 a year
Do whatever it takes, 6 figures isn’t that hard.
