20, trying to figure life out . doing trading, learning dispatching, studying too, its a lot at once. feel like im always in grind mode and forgot how to just enjoy stuff. currently im financially dependent on my parents…
had some bad losses in trading lately, took a short break and now trying to actually fix my risk management before going back in
if you’re older and already been through your 20s, what do you wish someone told you back then? like what actually mattered vs what you thought mattered at the time
also anyone here into manifestation/law of attraction, does it actually work for you? not asking to like wish for money lol, more curious how you actually get into a good headspace and stay there day to day
any advice helps, thanks for reading
[like attracting money , travel etc ]
Don’t schedule every moment. Leave some time to be idle/bored and recharge your mental batteries.
At the same time, don’t waste your life. Force yourself to get out and do things. When you’re old and dying the things you will regret most are the things you never got around to doing. “I never went skydiving” or “I never went to Switzerland” or “I never asked out the cute redhead girl.”
Try to play as much as you work. I use the reward system, “If I put my laundry away I can play video games for a couple hours.”
Start saving money now, if you can scrape together $3000 put it in a Vanguard Explorer index fund and just let it sit. It has historically made about 10% per year and being 20 years old you will have a lot of money in there by the time you retire. Time is really really powerful and right now you have a lot even if it doesn’t feel like it.
