What do you want out of life?

Yea, if you do everything right and nothing dramatic comes up.
You have to actually do shit correctly though, and more so than people who started early.
Your chances are pretty bad though and expect to hate life for the next 10 years.

I want to be able to make my parents proud of what i do. i want to make more than them as well (real estate developers...pretty hard). I wanna lose weight. I wanna have friends. but # one on my list is my parents and money
>>17366205
idk where to or how to even start trying to turn stuff around
>>17366208
Impossible at this point. Even as a doctor you won't make more than a real state developer. See, you're playing catch up at a very late stage . You'll be 27 by the time you get a degree, expect another 3 to 4 years before you can move up from your first job. Thinking of going through more education to get higher in the world? That's another 5 years or more for a masters and a PhD and that process is even slower if you still want to keep your job. I think you set the bar so low that just getting a degree would make your parents happy. Make friends in college. Just get any degree but don't expect to make more than your parents unless you weasel your way into their business. Just set realistic goals or else you'll just end up disappointing yourself.

1. Got to gym.
2. Go to college if parents will pay, get a job if they won't.
3. Figure out what the fuck you want / need to do.
>>17366214
Start now. Don't think about it just go for a walk/run. Do some sit ups/push-ups. Drive around to the local stores and apply there. Everything big starts small. If you want to succeed, the last thing you need to be doing is wallowing in self pity. You dug yourself into this mess, dig yourself out
>>17366208
you can turn yourself around but a few things you shoudl consider
>dont do things just to make others proud or impressed
you want to be happy in life right? trust me that this wont make you happy. at best you will get one moment of feeling good, then your parents sto pcaring cuz they got their own lives to live. and thats at best. chances are they simply wont seem to care. they'll be happy and not mad about it or anything, but ultiamtely they wont care.
isntead, focus on a career that you think will make decent enough dosh and that you think can fulfil you.
>themoney
dont focus on making more money than them. you are not trying to impress here, you are ismply trying to be better, to ptu them in their place. essentially, revenge, and that wont make you happy either.
>lose weight
this is the easiest thing on your list so start here
>remove all drinks that arent water from your diet
>buy a food scale and count calories so that you are under 1500 calories a day
>replace one meal a day with vegetables (breakfast or lunch) with no butter
>replace one day a week with ONLY vegetables
>remove carbs such as bread and noodles. easiest way to cut calories.
do this and you'll notice a dramatic difference desu. its a lot easier to stay under 1500 calories when you remove things like bread and noodles cuz they are so unnecessary so you can eat more stuff with lower calories. remove these and you still end up having room for things like dessert, its great. also, the food scale is hella important, gets you exact weights of food and makes it easier to count out your calories.

personalized guidance.
>>17366192
I was like you. Then I talked to a recruiter, lost weight, and joined the Army at 23.
It's not all fun and games, sometimes it royally sucks, and I can't recommend it to everyone.
But I get a sense of actually doing shit with my life now. And not everyone can say they've hooked a Humvee to helicopter hovering overhead. So yeah, that's awesome.
As for money, you can use the GI bill and go to college on government cash. I save my money, and I got 17k in not quite 2 years. Whenever I get out, if I do, I'm good. Any questions, feel free to ask.
>>17367067
To clarify, that's 17k in my savings.
