Take it from a seasoned man in his 50s. If you don't have any children, you have nothing to worry about. It's fine if you spend the next 2 years living under a bridge. When you get ready to make your big move, you will, and all of your experiences in life will prove themselves valuable.
You aren't a failure due to not having a car, house, or business. Those are hollow status symbols. You're a failure because you've given up on yourself.
This is something I need to remind myself of. Very true. It depends on what your values are, how healthy physically ,and going from there. I've also wasted my life and fretted years more worrying about it. It's no way to live, and neither is chasing empty symbols of other people's norms or approval.
Daniel I am pretty sure anybody who just worked and was “productive” their whole 20s will also think they wasted it and would have preferred spending more time travelling and being free like you did. People always want what they don’t have or didn’t do.
A great way to feel better about yourself is to donate your money, time, or labour to charities! You should feel much happier and better about yourself than the most “successful” and richest miser.
You're not alone, at least you learnt Japanese, I spent my whole 20s severely obese and locked up in my room. Naturally I am 38 now and still severely behind others and no one wants a bar of me
Like you said in your video, Youre going to Japan AGAIN and not gonna do noting. So my question is: Why are you going to Japan then? Just a waste of money and more time in your life, right? with this video you got to the conclusion that you wasted your 20s with this BS and youre going there again another mistake.... THIS IS INSANE
I've never been to japan, or anywhere in asia, in my life. So to me, traveling to Japan sounds interesting and not like a waste of time. ESPECIALLY if you speak japanese. (which I don't, but Daniel does, so he can get a lot more out of Japan than I can)
Have you wasted your 20s though? You did exactly what you wanted and not what was expected of you. Perhaps you’re feeling negative now as you’re comparing yourself to others who are deemed “successful” by socitey. One of the admirable qualities of yours is leaving jobs, relationships and anything that didn’t serve you. You always chose yourself and you should be proud of yourself for that
I am 24, and I turn 25 in seven months. I feel like I've wasted lots of time in college studying topics I didn't really care about. I had zero relationships so far. I didn't leave my country. I am jealous of Daniel's 20s, honestly.
At least you got to be with a lot of women in your 20s. I’m 25 and I’ve always only lived for the future, which has served me well since I was able to buy a property. But I’ve only ever had one relationship in my life, which ended over 4 years ago. And I have zero idea how I’ll ever manage to attain another relationship. I work from home and rarely leave my house. Going on ten days straight without leaving the house now. Just because I am financially savvy and have adequately set myself up for the future does not make me any more fulfilled than you are right now. I work so that one day I may have enough saved and invested to do what you are already doing now, going to japan every year and never having to work a real job. I am taking a 15 day trip to Japan this year but someday I want to be able to stay for months like you. It’s easy to complain about what we don’t have in life, and I think you should be grateful for what you do have. You have experiences traveling that most people could only dream of, and you have a supportive family who has always been there for you despite everything you have done. Besides it doesn’t matter that you don’t own any assets since you’ll inherit your mum’s million dollar house someday. And you’ve lived a lot more exciting life than I ever will.
Its never too late to learn a new skill and many courses are online so you never need to go to a college or uni. 30s is still young, you just need commitment.
Hi, Daniel. You're my age and you reeeally don't look it. The first thing you should realize is that most guys don't really get their stuff together until their 30s. There are so many people on youtube that have fallen into the trap of feeling like they've wasted their youth by their 30s because of how the internet has groomed us to feel like how we should be by a certain age. Just relax and go at your own pace. I just got my driver's license at 35, found my first real job, got my first car, and went on a date for the first time in my life. There are soooo many people our age going through this, so just know that you're not alone. The reflecting that you're doing is a good thing, as it tends to be a good motivator. Just use that as a tool to work your way towards something more tangible, and don't try to force or rush anything. You still have plenty of time to get your life in order, dude. This is coming from a guy who had a total mental breakdown at 34 and felt the same way you were feeling.
As a person who was kind of in your situation. Don't compare yourself to others. Don't dwell too much on the past. Be grateful every day Never compromise your Is core values. And start journaling your thoughts. Peace.
@@TB-us7el You can still be grateful and pursue bigger goals than yourself. If you're not grateful for what you have, you will be miserable for the rest of your life. Because nothing will be good enough. It will be like chasing ghosts in a baron field.

I have just turned 40 and i can tell you that your 30's are the last decade you have to be and feel young (in my experience) Once you hit 40, it's over, you are now officially old and out of the youth era. So my advise to you is to really enjoy these last few years of being young, rather than look back regretting and being negative. Accept where you are at and go have fun, sleep around, party, explore and enjoy being young, because after 40 you have to start making more responsible life decisions. Also, you're extremely young looking for your age, so that is a nice advantage to have over most people.
@@OraOraOra I can only speak from my own experience, but when i turned 40 i felt my brain change, almost like a mental puberty, i suddenly felt more mature, wiser. Things that i once cared about when i was younger i suddenly didn't care about or value as much anymore, like i just gave less of a fuck about certain things, so it's not bad or scary, i actually kind of liked the change, im more evolved, more me. I also started to grow hair on my shoulders.... i think 40 is when you start to slowly turn into your Dad. haha

Hey there fellow Daniel, don't be too hard on yourself mate. I just turned 35 last September so I completely understand how you are feeling. I too had "Peter Pan syndrome" and pretended as though I would never grow older but here I am now. At least you look great for 34! :)
Even though you're nearly 35, Its good you've not only accepted the mistakes made but also working to slowly fix them. Some people go their entire lives in denial blinded by their own flaws, they blame the world and not themselves. Happy birthday in advance.
Stay young at heart no matter who and how old u are. The heart will never grow old if u not let it. Like u like playing games.🎮 Play games.😊😉 In life just try to enjoy yourself.
I am ten years older than Daniel and even I am at odds with my age. About two years ago I woke up with horrid lines under my eyes ,lines I have earned, but really did not ask for or want -_-
As for me, I stopped caring about societal expectations when I was 25 … and I never really wanted to be part of society as it’s sick, materialistic and immoral. I’m better off being a hermit. Sometimes, I feel it would be nice if I just lived in a cabin on a snow mountain.
Daniel, my sister and I have been seriously thinking about this, for we do care. First off, one thing to make clear is that you haven´t got to conform to anyone else´s molds, you don´t have to be 35 with the house and child and wife and dog and yada yada. Do what makes you happy, focus on that, doesn´t matter what it is. You have only one life, so use it to make yourself feel fullfilled-- nothing else, nothing more. Forget about expectations and stop comparing yourself to others, then you´ll be able to, at least, feel at peace with yourself. Thinking about future prospects for you, taking into consideration your abilities (mainly, speaking japanese, your multimedia skills and having great experience at doing "cereal" and flirting) these three following career choices could suit you: 1- Host in japan, 2- s3xual worker in japan and 3- Corn industry in japan. With these three options you would have a- money, b- a career (therefore, a visa) and c- your s3xual needs covered. The upside to all of these is no attachments, easy money and no real responsibility over other people´s feelings. We know a downside could be social anxiety, however, considering all these options are mainly taking advantage of a pre-existing situation, and the people you would work for probably wouldn´t even care about anything as long as you show up, there are no hard feelings about it on any side, and no pressure at all. We hope it helps, take care. Regards from long time viewers xx
Youve built up a RUclips channel business . Thats not a failure. You are a content creator. I remember your early content about mastibating at your workplace. You had some of the most hilarious stories.
You are more likely to succeed in your 30’s. Don’t give up on yourself. I «wasted» half my 20’s drinking, partying and traveling. I do not regret it. The other half I spent saving money, working, had a child and started my bachelors degree that I’m done with next year. I’m turning 30 this year. Work on your work ethics, work on your self, get your education. you will be fine.
I don’t have a house, car or children and I’m 34. It’s really not that uncommon. I live a really basic life just living in my tiny studio apartment and I’m saving up for a condo or house. At least you are living on your own right now away from your mom’s house.
i "wasted" my 20's. but really i was just having loads of fun as often as possible as an attempt to undo all the horrible years i had growing up and hating every day of my life. It actually worked to a degree, but also around 30 i had built nothing
I am too, but I still do my thing. In my case it’s because I’m conscious and I rap in Greek, but whatever …. my music still connects with people and to me that means more than being famous and successful. I’d rather be unsuccessful and conscious than be successful and mainstream. Screw commercialism and screw being a sell-out. Quality over quantity.
Honestly I think people will always feel like they've wasted their twenties (or whatever). If you focused on fun, you'll feel like you didn't accomplish anything and didn't do anything for your future, if you did _that_ instead, you'll feel like you missed out on life and are now just getting old with no possibility to ever experience what you have missed out on. Aside from that I'm pretty sure that whatever happens was meant to happen, so you couldn't have done anything about it anyway.
Luckily mate, its never too late to turn things around. I think this self-reflection is important. We exist to learn, I just hope you take the lesson and evolve.
'Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. ' You know what you want but you don't want to put in the work to make it happen. Also, you should never compare yourself to others. In many aspects, you have had done a lot, such as building a 100K RUclips channel, living overseas, speaking a foreign language, dating cute Asian girls. Many guys would love to be in your situation. I just turned 40 and I feel like I'm just entering my prime career wise, even though my body definitely doesn't feel 20 anymore.
The most important thing in life is freedom. And enough money to enjoy that freedom. Nothing else matters. I wasted my 20s NOT doing what you're doing. I focused my life on stockpiling resources (studying, working, investing) so I can achieve freedom... not working so well since life is too expensive. Time to end it all, I guess...
You don't look 35 at all. You look like you're in your 20's. 😊I think you do add something to the table with your RUclips channel. The very first video I saw of yours was "How being unemployed affected my mental health". I really appreciated that video, and it helped me during a challenging time in my life. I really enjoy your sit-down videos where you talk with us about many different things. I've also enjoyed seeing your adventures in Thailand, as I also spent a year living in Thailand in my mid 20's. I hope to visit Japan someday (it's on my bucket list). Learning Japanese is definitely not a waste of time. Best wishes to you, Daniel.
@hiding in my room.What does it matter about material stuff, when you die you lose everything anyway,the problem with you Daniel was you let sex over take your life but still, just make memories because no one is GUARANTEED another day and you might not even live to 70.
Daniel!! It's been quite awhile. I'm a long time Faniel but I stopped watching your channel(I was focusing more on my relationship and job). But saying that this is nothing particularly new but you still seem to be enjoying life. I'm glad--Hopefully one day you'll cultivate the life you want.
You don't look like you're in your 30s. But that's kind-of what I like about asian men (or asians in general): They tend to look younger than their own age
I like you Daniel. Do not give up, you still can turn your life around, even at 35. If you do the right choices now, in 2 years your life will improve.
Hey bud I'm dealing with this too.. so take this with a grain of salt. But it's all a mindset followed by a relentless determination to get out of this slump. For example, your mindset could be getting in the way of your "big" thing, maybe you could take your skill of knowing Japanese and putting a program together and making content around how to improve, then sell your program, 1on1 training, course, etc..
A great way to feel better about yourself is to donate your money, time, or labour to charities! You should feel much happier and better about yourself than how the most “successful” and richest miser feels about himself.
You traveled, learned Japanese, did some really good art, grew a RUclips channel, married, divorced, dated several women, lived in different countries and are learning about trading stocks. As volatile as the stock market is, at least you are learning about finance and part of an industry that is relevant everywhere in the world. Keep at it my friend. You are pretty smart apart from some of your decisions. Hoping you and your gf make it together. She seems pretty sharp and you have become closer to her. I noticed in your recent video you appear to be falling in love with her.
I’m 26 and just finished university. Still looking for my first proper role in law and co firm that life feels a bit different now. You are no longer in an environment where you are surrounded by people who have the same life circumstances as you. In every odd job I have worked I work with people much older than me. I feel sad for people who didn’t experience the university situation with making a good friendship group. It seems quite difficult to have lots in common with co workers. It must be quite difficult with dating also if you didn’t make university, you must compete and have to satisfy so many different requirements and expectations
" It must be quite difficult with dating also if you didn’t make university " ????? What ? ARE YOU SERIOUS ??? You know NOTHING, mate. Daniel is quite competent at procuring women even in an age where most men have simply given up. University guarantees very little in life, you are very naive.
Finally Daniel is growing up. First time I have seen you I said this is what psychologists say "manchild'' but i never heard them call it syndrome. but it is. part of the problem from the parents when they take care of their children to the point that made them useless, they will do anything for them. they dont give them the chance to experince the real world. then when they grew up they become useless or naïve. Also, you cant keep blaming the parent when you grew up. you should face the world and learn from your mistakes. I remember that you were blaming your father for the slicest mistke. that you should take care of. you finally realized that you are wasting your time.. from time to time you can say some good stuff. maybe due to your experiences while traveling. but you still carrying that child mentality. you dont want to take responsibility.
Daniel 2024 predictions: new older Asian gf, at least 5 thousand in new electronics, gets dumped at least twice, channel gets popular again but only for a few weeks, new OF content, someone gets sick or dies in the family.
Suppose if all fails and you need to work again...I suggest becoming a plumber or electrician. Any sort of trade based job as it doesn't require a college degree. That, or you will have to network and connect with people to find a well paying job....we know how that will pan out for you. It's your life but your mother won't always be there for you. She needs to go back to God one day just like your dad. Then you're on your own.
Well, welcome to the life of the middle class and poor class, I tell you my life was thrown off track because of health problems and I have a small family and my parents are not greatly successful, as for you, you have no desire to work or even go to school which even those whom have done so or do so yet also still fail in life in terms of being successful. So 😵💫😑😐🤨🤔
Well you still make content since you're a youtuber. You may have some video editing skills after watching your videos for all these years. You can be an english tutor in japan or be a flight attendant for japanese airlines or work at customer service at the airport, and you're right nobody cares about you. The only person who cares about you is only YOU -yourself and nobody else. Your youtube can stay as a side husle atleast giving you some passive income. Dont give up, Best wishes to you.

I too had "Peter Pan syndrome" and pretended as though I would never grow older but here I am now.
At least you look great for 34! :)
Even though you're nearly 35, Its good you've not only accepted the mistakes made but also working to slowly fix them. Some people go their entire lives in denial blinded by their own flaws, they blame the world and not themselves. Happy birthday in advance.
Stay young at heart no matter who and how old u are.
The heart will never grow old if u not let it.
Like u like playing games.🎮
Play games.😊😉
In life just try to enjoy yourself.
I am ten years older than Daniel and even I am at odds with my age. About two years ago I woke up with horrid lines under my eyes ,lines I have earned, but really did not ask for or want -_-
As for me, I stopped caring about societal expectations when I was 25 … and I never really wanted to be part of society as it’s sick, materialistic and immoral. I’m better off being a hermit. Sometimes, I feel it would be nice if I just lived in a cabin on a snow mountain.
Daniel, my sister and I have been seriously thinking about this, for we do care. First off, one thing to make clear is that you haven´t got to conform to anyone else´s molds, you don´t have to be 35 with the house and child and wife and dog and yada yada. Do what makes you happy, focus on that, doesn´t matter what it is. You have only one life, so use it to make yourself feel fullfilled-- nothing else, nothing more. Forget about expectations and stop comparing yourself to others, then you´ll be able to, at least, feel at peace with yourself.
Thinking about future prospects for you, taking into consideration your abilities (mainly, speaking japanese, your multimedia skills and having great experience at doing "cereal" and flirting) these three following career choices could suit you: 1- Host in japan, 2- s3xual worker in japan and 3- Corn industry in japan. With these three options you would have a- money, b- a career (therefore, a visa) and c- your s3xual needs covered. The upside to all of these is no attachments, easy money and no real responsibility over other people´s feelings. We know a downside could be social anxiety, however, considering all these options are mainly taking advantage of a pre-existing situation, and the people you would work for probably wouldn´t even care about anything as long as you show up, there are no hard feelings about it on any side, and no pressure at all. We hope it helps, take care. Regards from long time viewers xx
30s is still young Danny
Ice and Kim called me an old man...
@@HidingInMyRoom1989 They were pricks tho
@@HidingInMyRoom1989 I mean when you met Ice, you were the nicest/most likeable person in the room
Kimberly was like "you're in your 30s, you're an old man, you should've known not to cheat"
Shes so dumb
why would you care what degenerate social rejects like them think @@HidingInMyRoom1989
Youve built up a RUclips channel business . Thats not a failure. You are a content creator. I remember your early content about mastibating at your workplace. You had some of the most hilarious stories.
He’s a real savage!!!!
You are more likely to succeed in your 30’s. Don’t give up on yourself.
I «wasted» half my 20’s drinking, partying and traveling. I do not regret it.
The other half I spent saving money, working, had a child and started my bachelors degree that I’m done with next year. I’m turning 30 this year.
Work on your work ethics, work on your self, get your education. you will be fine.
Oh a white women spent her time being a sloot and drinking, who woulda thought
Your life and circumstances don't compare to his though
Not too late.
I don’t have a house, car or children and I’m 34. It’s really not that uncommon. I live a really basic life just living in my tiny studio apartment and I’m saving up for a condo or house. At least you are living on your own right now away from your mom’s house.
i "wasted" my 20's. but really i was just having loads of fun as often as possible as an attempt to undo all the horrible years i had growing up and hating every day of my life. It actually worked to a degree, but also around 30 i had built nothing
Ill be 33 next month. Man and i feel like such a loser. Iam a failed rapper.
I am too, but I still do my thing. In my case it’s because I’m conscious and I rap in Greek, but whatever …. my music still connects with people and to me that means more than being famous and successful. I’d rather be unsuccessful and conscious than be successful and mainstream. Screw commercialism and screw being a sell-out. Quality over quantity.
I know that stage of regret. It feels like crap.
I don’t want to become old either 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Honestly I think people will always feel like they've wasted their twenties (or whatever). If you focused on fun, you'll feel like you didn't accomplish anything and didn't do anything for your future, if you did _that_ instead, you'll feel like you missed out on life and are now just getting old with no possibility to ever experience what you have missed out on. Aside from that I'm pretty sure that whatever happens was meant to happen, so you couldn't have done anything about it anyway.
Luckily mate, its never too late to turn things around. I think this self-reflection is important. We exist to learn, I just hope you take the lesson and evolve.
I'm so glad to grow older, to move away from those darker years...Morrissey
Don't compare your experiences to others.
30 seconds in and all I can say is comparison is the thief of joy.
I am 24 now what to do so that I will not regret
Any suggestions?
Save your money. Be kind to people. Don't just quit something because of your emotions. Eh...
Make a boat load of money
'Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. ' You know what you want but you don't want to put in the work to make it happen.
Also, you should never compare yourself to others. In many aspects, you have had done a lot, such as building a 100K RUclips channel, living overseas, speaking a foreign language, dating cute Asian girls. Many guys would love to be in your situation.
I just turned 40 and I feel like I'm just entering my prime career wise, even though my body definitely doesn't feel 20 anymore.
The most important thing in life is freedom. And enough money to enjoy that freedom. Nothing else matters. I wasted my 20s NOT doing what you're doing. I focused my life on stockpiling resources (studying, working, investing) so I can achieve freedom... not working so well since life is too expensive. Time to end it all, I guess...
Start making a 5 year plan now. Write down some things you want to accomplish by the time you turn 40.
You will waste your whole life if you lack confidence, zest and and the ability to try.
You don't look 35 at all. You look like you're in your 20's. 😊I think you do add something to the table with your RUclips channel. The very first video I saw of yours was "How being unemployed affected my mental health". I really appreciated that video, and it helped me during a challenging time in my life. I really enjoy your sit-down videos where you talk with us about many different things. I've also enjoyed seeing your adventures in Thailand, as I also spent a year living in Thailand in my mid 20's. I hope to visit Japan someday (it's on my bucket list). Learning Japanese is definitely not a waste of time. Best wishes to you, Daniel.
30's are the new 20's dude!!
@hiding in my room.What does it matter about material stuff, when you die you lose everything anyway,the problem with you Daniel was you let sex over take your life but still, just make memories because no one is GUARANTEED another day and you might not even live to 70.
Turning 33 soon, similar feels
Except I started getting unhealthy in my early 20s so had even less youth xD
I'm so sorry that u wasted your 20s, no offense but half of your 30s is also gone now. What do you plan to do with the other half of your 30s?
Go to japan
@@HidingInMyRoom1989and do what? Get a job or get married or both??
Neither. Just enjoy being in japan
@@HidingInMyRoom1989 please go outside rather than just staying indoors. hopefully find some cereal that wants to be on camera.
I go outside all the time
Daniel!! It's been quite awhile. I'm a long time Faniel but I stopped watching your channel(I was focusing more on my relationship and job). But saying that this is nothing particularly new but you still seem to be enjoying life. I'm glad--Hopefully one day you'll cultivate the life you want.
You don't look like you're in your 30s. But that's kind-of what I like about asian men (or asians in general): They tend to look younger than their own age
😔if it makes you feel any better, i wasted my 10s
I like you Daniel.
Do not give up, you still can turn your life around, even at 35.
If you do the right choices now, in 2 years your life will improve.
Just keep doing you, and compound interest works not just on investments but life itself
Hey bud I'm dealing with this too.. so take this with a grain of salt. But it's all a mindset followed by a relentless determination to get out of this slump. For example, your mindset could be getting in the way of your "big" thing, maybe you could take your skill of knowing Japanese and putting a program together and making content around how to improve, then sell your program, 1on1 training, course, etc..
I understand what Daniel is going through right now. Its called midlife crisis 😢
A great way to feel better about yourself is to donate your money, time, or labour to charities! You should feel much happier and better about yourself than how the most “successful” and richest miser feels about himself.
You traveled, learned Japanese, did some really good art, grew a RUclips channel, married, divorced, dated several women, lived in different countries and are learning about trading stocks. As volatile as the stock market is, at least you are learning about finance and part of an industry that is relevant everywhere in the world. Keep at it my friend. You are pretty smart apart from some of your decisions. Hoping you and your gf make it together. She seems pretty sharp and you have become closer to her. I noticed in your recent video you appear to be falling in love with her.
Sounds like he should be a Japan travel consultant.
@@jason8ification that would make great content. He should try that lol
Plane crashes don’t happen often. They make the news. Statistically they are the anomaly not the norm
You don’t look a day over 21
but you have us daniel
indeed, what greater gift is there than that? I knew someone who also had us, but decided to run away instead...bad move!
I’m 26 and just finished university. Still looking for my first proper role in law and co firm that life feels a bit different now. You are no longer in an environment where you are surrounded by people who have the same life circumstances as you. In every odd job I have worked I work with people much older than me. I feel sad for people who didn’t experience the university situation with making a good friendship group. It seems quite difficult to have lots in common with co workers. It must be quite difficult with dating also if you didn’t make university, you must compete and have to satisfy so many different requirements and expectations
" It must be quite difficult with dating also if you didn’t make university " ????? What ? ARE YOU SERIOUS ??? You know NOTHING, mate. Daniel is quite competent at procuring women even in an age where most men have simply given up. University guarantees very little in life, you are very naive.
@@eddenoy321 oh I know Daniel is the king. It’s just a theory I have from watching people from my old school life
I relate to this except i didnt have fun in most of my 20s just was a carer so i needed more in the present adventure. Because i missed out on it
There’s no rules Danny boy, do your own thing.
He looks 18
I wish u had stuck to these kind of videos rather than ruin your marriage
I am 38 and ? You need to be thankful , some people die in their 20's
You also got your drivers licence Daniel. Start hitting the road so you don’t waste that.
better than being 80
I want to go to Japan to be around people who watch anime.
I dont think its possible to waste your 20s, you did what you wanted to do at that time
I can prescribe you the track from baz luhrmann, sunscreen. Listen and soak it in.
Accumulate small assets, tripods, bags, etc. flip things, do flea markets or smth else.
Finally
Daniel is growing up.
First time I have seen you I said this is what psychologists say "manchild'' but i never heard them call it syndrome. but it is.
part of the problem from the parents when they take care of their children to the point that made them useless, they will do anything for them. they dont give them the chance to experince the real world. then when they grew up they become useless or naïve.
Also, you cant keep blaming the parent when you grew up. you should face the world and learn from your mistakes. I remember that you were blaming your father for the slicest mistke. that you should take care of.
you finally realized that you are wasting your time.. from time to time you can say some good stuff. maybe due to your experiences while traveling. but you still carrying that child mentality. you dont want to take responsibility.
Daniel 2024 predictions: new older Asian gf, at least 5 thousand in new electronics, gets dumped at least twice, channel gets popular again but only for a few weeks, new OF content, someone gets sick or dies in the family.
He has OF content? ._.
Daniel you’re my hero
Suppose if all fails and you need to work again...I suggest becoming a plumber or electrician. Any sort of trade based job as it doesn't require a college degree. That, or you will have to network and connect with people to find a well paying job....we know how that will pan out for you. It's your life but your mother won't always be there for you. She needs to go back to God one day just like your dad. Then you're on your own.
Well, welcome to the life of the middle class and poor class, I tell you my life was thrown off track because of health problems and I have a small family and my parents are not greatly successful, as for you, you have no desire to work or even go to school which even those whom have done so or do so yet also still fail in life in terms of being successful. So 😵💫😑😐🤨🤔
Atleast you learned Japanese and experienced married life
I wasted my 20s chasing girls too. I should've spent that energy on my career and personal goals THEN look for a gf
you've built a small community. if you could do something positive with it you'll be very successful
Heck you don’t even need discipline to do that, you just need to continue the momentum
If the Millennials that Boomers imagine existed, they would be this dude.
"... and I realize yeah I'm actually aging, I'm changing... my teeth are getting more and more yellow". bro, just brush your teeth... 😅
You accomplished a lot.
Well you still make content since you're a youtuber. You may have some video editing skills after watching your videos for all these years. You can be an english tutor in japan or be a flight attendant for japanese airlines or work at customer service at the airport, and you're right nobody cares about you. The only person who cares about you is only YOU -yourself and nobody else. Your youtube can stay as a side husle atleast giving you some passive income. Dont give up, Best wishes to you.
My mom first child graduated school when my mom 36
You can volunteer to help earthquake survivors?
Or he can use his influence to encourage others
Yep i wasted my 20s to, sucks i know.
7:36 Basically, you're gonna do the same thing and expect a different result? Sounds like insanity
The more you own, the more problems you have!
WHAT HAPPEN WITH YOUR TRADING SKILLS
