Have you ever gotten sick and tired of trying to get your sh*t together?

It seems like no matter how much I try I can't turn things around. I am 31 and started working at 26. I will admit I should've started working early and saved, saved, saved. I have no savings, but I am working on it. Currently living with parents but helping them out financially, I give them between $500-$700 for rent. I am trying to save up enough to get myself a nice cheap little studio and car but whenever I try to save, something always comes up. I am working on a side hustle which is a clothing that looks promising. We are planning to open up a store in march in one of the biggest malls in America. Our site goes up later this month. I'm hoping it goes well so I can get some extra income. I am also working on small projects away from work to try and save money. As of now I have $2,600 to my name. I am trying budget more which is key and staying away from social media. Because when ever I see my friends and other people my age and younger getting married, buying cars, getting their own place etc... it makes me depressed. I know I shouldn't compare myself to others but it shows me what I could've had, if I had taken things seriously at an early age. I know I can do it but it will take a lot of time and patience. I am not lazy or untalented. I have just been bad with saving money and had some bad luck along the way.

After my father's dead, I shift back to my hometown to stay with my mom and get a job nearby. My old job paid me more then the present one. Even i stay away from social media when my friends always post about their vacations, marriage. I have saved some money and am still optimistic I might score something big soon.

@Fluffypanda Sorry about your Father's death, my deepest condolences. Yeah, I've realized that people often show their very best on social media. But many times things aren't what they appear to be. Optimism is a good thing, I'm sure you'll score something big soon. Wish you the best.
