[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, just look back at it as investment still. Why investment? You enjoyed those years, and you had fun. [b]Many younger adults now are stressed out and suffering mental health in some ways or another because they were so occupied in the rat race.[/b] It’s about balanced approach in life.

Also, one’s perspective in life is different in the 20’s than mid-30’s. Having said that, it’s all about priorities, and how you balance them in such a way that you don’t sacrifice needed personal enjoyment and satisfaction at the detriment of your own happiness.

I think there are more suffering mental health issues/stress because of financial difficulties.

But I don't think OP is going to get anything by thinking she didn't "do it right" back then--or patting herself on the back for "doing it right" -- what's the point?  You did what you did.  You're living with the consequences--positive and negative--now.  You can tell yourself whatever story you want about it.  Personally it sounds like you had fun like most people do in their 20s but spent a bit too much money for it.  Most people look back and think their 20s were fun because they were often  pre- major responsibilities for you and and all your friends.  The amount of money spent probably doesn't correlate to how much fun had---fun has more to do with your friend group and your openness to experiences.[/quote]
