The amount of 25-29 years olds who think they are expired or “too late” to start over is so sad. I know a woman who finished med school at her 40s and 50s after working 10+ years in a “dead-end” retail job. It’s never too late.
Because for many they’ve been told to no end. You’re to be married, have a house, minimum 1 kid already around ya, and 2 cars.
So, when many people in their 20s have big debts from college or are renting far longer than they expected. Or didn’t get that “ideal” job from said college then of course people will think it’s “too late” in life.
What needs to be taught to people is that everyone’s life is going down different and unique paths. We will all make mistakes. However, how will you correct them?
especially until 30, you can mostly start over from scratch. Afterwards its usually just some additional factors that impact it, but its just as well doable.
You might wanna give me a definition of what the reset button is then?
Because if someone has been a totally dedicated alcoholic for 40 years and somehow manages to get sober and then hold down a job, I figured that was a reset. 🤷🏽♀️
Reset to me means starting over. Unless we invent time travel/antiaging/amnesia I don’t think anyone can reset, that’s just something we tell ourselves to feel better
I’m reminded of my dear friend at this time of year - the first person in my life who basically told me to get the fuck up and stop being a victim.
About 25 years passed since that exchange and I did pick myself up.
Sadly he died a few years ago due to pancreatitis because of drinking. I miss him a lot, and everytime I’m at my lowest I think what he’d tell me to do if he was here, and it’s pretty simple. He’s tell me to get the fuck up, say “look at the clip of you!” and to stop being a victim. The most annoying gift he left me was he never explained the “clip of you” saying, and if you know…. don’t spoil it for me.
31, just started from 0 at a factory. Making money hand over fist, its never too later to start, but keep in mind that the sooner you start the better off youll be later
I was stuck in landscaping mostly because it felt good and i became wildly successful. It was an artistic outlet. I just used plants, rocks and dirt to paint with. I decided to retire and spend time doing what I wanted to do while I was young and still capable of climbing mountains and hiking the Adirondack trail, surf, and jump out of airplanes. I got bored with the lack of structure and now I run a power plant and water department in the Midwest. Two different worlds.
My father used to work for a company that helped people get jobs. He told me about Jeff once. Jeff was a lifetime factory worker, and the factory he'd worked at just closed. At 54 years old, Jeff decided he wanted to do something different. So Jeff went to college and got an RN degree with help from the company. I was flabbergasted when my father told me because obviously i thought 54 was way too old to change jobs, yet Jeff thrived and moved up the ladder just fine.
I'm 35. Gf if 8y left me, I lost manager job, substance abuse, childhood traumas and deepest fears activated. Standing all alone.
Luckily I'm financially stable, started to hit the gym, stopped drugs, went to therapy, got an potentially amazing business oportunity. 100 days later people tell me I'm laughing more than ever, that I look great, I go out whenever I can. I even got 3 month paid leave before contract termination.
So please, if you feel your body is telling you "do the reset" - do it! Or you're gonna pay much higher price later.
For anyone that needs to hear it. I started as an apprentice for electronics repair technician when i was 28 graduated at 31, worked 3 years as a repair tech, then moved on to an engineering position and after 1 year as a engineer i just got headhunted for a position in electronic development for nearly twice my initial pay. Its never too late.
I remember hitting 27 and got a huge wave of anxiety thinking my life was ending. It’s so stressful. I hope that everyone realizes that you can always change. There is room to grow. You can just do things like leave and start over. It’s not always pleasant but you can.
Oh trust me I don't. I've never seen this post before so I replied accordingly in regards to your opinion. Simple ain't it? You have yours, and I have mine. I just know that if people reply like you do, they're chronically online. Reposts aren't for your pleasure, it's to spread thoughts. Did you need to be negative in the first place? You could have just kept scrolling.

idk i feel stuck at 32
Still waiting to hit my tutorial level over here
its too late for me for sure
Age is just a number. You can always start fresh and rewrite your own story.
What if i'm 72.
I worked with someone who finally got sober at the age of 70.
Literally, never too late.
Not really a reset button, he just stopped drinking
You might wanna give me a definition of what the reset button is then?

Did they undo everything and start over or are they still an old 70 year old that damaged their body and can’t change the past?
Unsure to be honest.
But then I guess that means anyone who is damaged cannot reset?
Reset to me means starting over. Unless we invent time travel/antiaging/amnesia I don’t think anyone can reset, that’s just something we tell ourselves to feel better
You can always start fresh until you start getting health problems
28, obese with hashimoto, virgin, in-debt. I think it's over lol
Go on Keto, get out of the house. Fix your money issues. That's what your 20s are for. You'll find a mate eventually.
I'm certain your life has barely begun and can be awesome if you let it. Stop resisting stranger!
You can change twin
Well with that attitude it is.

Day at a time. 10 minutes a day. Go.

You should overuse the reset button.. It is allowed
27 is old???
Reset??? At 27? You haven't even "set" anything to reset.
Starting over is always hard. I'm proud of you!
How do I reset at 30. I cannot keep doing this anymore.
Honest question, how do people reset.
It feels easier to reset at rock bottom than being relatively successful with a decade of experience in a career which was never my passion.
Find something else and just take the steps to convert. You aren't in prison (i assume). You can do whatever you want. You're your own obstacle.
I second this but sometimes it's so hard to get out of your own head when all you can think of is worse case scenarios. Our own obstacle indeed.

>You can do whatever you want.
why lie?
That's my secret. I'm always rock bottom.
Hit reset 22 years ago at 33...best decision
Everytime I see a post like this I worry for young peoples mental health
Does it over in 27 ?
I guess I’m too old to start over since I’m in my mid 30s
Lol. 27

sounds awful to still be working at 54
Most of us dont have the capital to retire earlier. Myself included. Ill never look down on a person thats just trying to survive.
i wont be able to retire early either, not looking down on the person just saying it sounds awful
I hit reset every Monday, still waiting for my upgrade
It’s never to late to repost the fuck out of this
Start over? This day and age, not sure that 27 qualifies as actually having even started.
I'm 35. Gf if 8y left me, I lost manager job, substance abuse, childhood traumas and deepest fears activated. Standing all alone.
Luckily I'm financially stable, started to hit the gym, stopped drugs, went to therapy, got an potentially amazing business oportunity. 100 days later people tell me I'm laughing more than ever, that I look great, I go out whenever I can. I even got 3 month paid leave before contract termination.
So please, if you feel your body is telling you "do the reset" - do it! Or you're gonna pay much higher price later.
Is it really possible for a 25 years old person to reset? With no friends, no family, no connection, no anything?
Wow it’s my birthday I needed it!
For anyone that needs to hear it.

On my reset journey at 30! it's never too late!
Press that fucking button everyday till it makes sense not go.
Nah ima prolly just kms

At 35yo, all I had was a motorbike and a boat, and that's when I started my uni degree. Er, ... I adulted later than most.
27 is old?
Arent we gotten tired of this post yet?
You're just on reddit too much
And?
And you're worrying too much
Cmon, Let me have my opinion. And if you think all people online are always serious you have to think again.
