Anyone else struggling in life financially?

At 31 I still live with my parents and have about $2000 to my name. How I got to this point is a long story. I have a decent job and just got a promotion so will be making more money starting January. I Plan to budget my finances and just save like crazy to get my own place in a few months. I have friends and younger people I know who are doing amazing and living a great life. Though I am a bit jealous, I try not to let it get to me. I know I f**ked up my life and wasted many years, opportunities, talents and money, but I am still young and have a lot offer. Just have to forgive myself for my past and keep pushing forward. I feel my only issue is I spend money recklessly To anyone who is struggling, just keep pushing forward. People seem to have it all on social media. But most of the time, it's just smoke and mirrors.

No shame in what you are doing - might want to set a budget if you want or set aside some money in the bank. Just press on and dont think about the things that you SHOULD have done - think of the things that you will do.
