[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I work with dozens of these people (something about the career I'm in.) They are in their thirties, have good jobs, do not date and live with their parents. Generally the parents are immigrants (either Eastern Europe or Mexico.) In fact I am the only 30 something in my workplace who is married with children. 
[b]They all act like they're living the dream because they don't pay a mortgage or rent, have food waiting for them at home and lots of disposable income.[/b][/quote]

I am the $200K poster from above living with parents. I absolutely feel like it’s living the dream. Do you know how easy it is to get ahead when you can save $130K a year (as one person, not a household)? And still have fresh home-cooked food and no stress every day?

Of course, the dating relationships are completely nonexistent. I hope to semi-retire early, buy a house/condo for cash, and then focus on that part of life.  But I have thought about this a lot, and I have no idea whatsoever how people work at six-figure jobs, maintain a house and do all chores, and raise a family at the same time.  That seems like a superhuman task, and the dissatisfaction that is discussed so much in the relationship forum underscores that it’s not realistic for a lot of people.

There should be greater acceptance of the different energy levels that exist within humans, and not being able to “do it all” at once should not mean that one has failed to launch.[/quote]

Getting ahead of whom? You have no regular sex just for the sake of buying a condo at some point? [/quote]not everyone has a libido that requires regular sex. [/quote]

I don’t think I’ve had sex since maybe 2018? I don’t miss it at all. [/quote]

You and the 200k man child are not normal.  [/quote]

Normal doesn’t even mean anything. MYOB. [/quote]

Keep telling your single self that. [/quote]
