We're, meaning Americans, are in late stage capitalism, the American dream has been crushed, a seventeen year old should not be working three jobs, there should be more to life than work. The job market is really a iffy thing, a lot of these jobs do not pay a living wage, especially when you're trying to pay student loans, we are launching our kids into debt right away.
I consider myself as a failure to launch and I'm still trying to figure out at 33 years old on launching monetary. I'm suffering everyday and unsure if I'll have to live with the fact that I'm just a failure to launch. I have immigrant parents so their parenting style is different than the Western style of parenting. I'm consider spoiled still living with parents after graduating from High School because my older sister set the bar. She left home before graduating from High School. I moved away from home for college but that failed after one academic term at the University. I had moved back home and was lost about life every since. It was difficult to open up about why I left the Unversity to my parents since growing up it was even difficult to talk to my parents about anything really. I slowly adapt to my home life (e.g. cooking for myself, shopping, and etc.) I'm still not perfect in some areas and in some areas I need to work on (e.g. having emotional support, friends to do stuff with, and activities that I enjoy doing on my spare time and etc.) I'm mostly concern about having a job because my immigrant parents are not happy about that. I'm also not happy that I'm not working, most importantly at a job that uses my skill and educational background. Although I dropped out of the University, I'd try to find a way to seek education for myself. I'm 33 years old and I have never worked full-time. For the longest in my employment history I only had worked full-time twice at 40 hours per week and I didn't last in horrible jobs. I don't want to give up, I want to try again, but I feel with that there is a risk if I fail again. I'm barely working right now since this job I got is not a job to survive on, not happy, and I've been searching years for a better opportunity nothing seem to come around for the better. I don't know what I'm going to do, my parents can't help me with that.
I'm so sorry you're going through all of these thoughts and feelings! But, the good thing is that it's never too late to learn skills and principles to help you launch and progress as an individual. It all comes down to choosing to change your way of thinking, deciding that you are going to make a change and do everything in your power to change your circumstance. Start with yourself. What can YOU do to improve your situation? If, after doing EVERYTHING you can by yourself and you're still struggling, go to your family. Do you have a family member who could give you a job or connect you with someone who could? Etc. If your family can't help you, the next "line of defense" is your friends. If they can't help you, the next line of defense is your church/community. If, for some reason, they can't help you, then you can try the government. You have lots of resources! But you have to decide to act and put forth effort to make a change. You've got this!
What happens when your parents die? Then, you will be forced to launch with no assistance whatsoever. You better learn how to do chores and pay bills yourself before you get hit with a hard reality check. It's easier to take care of it now rather than wait for something worse.
If childhood trauma hadn't rewired my brain to shut down during stressful events, if I hadn't gone through years of "get over it" talk, and my mental health had been dealt with before the storms of chaos that upended my chances for a happy life, I'd absolutely be out of the house by now. There's no one-size-fits-all approach to these things, and this video assumes you're blessed with top quality, supportive parents who aren't neglectful or suffer illness and death.
While that is the ideal, I am fully aware that quite a lot of people don't have that ideal support system, which is WHY I make these videos. Teaching Self-Government skills and principles are structured in a way that they can be applied to anyone in any situation, since each person is in charge of and in control of one thing: themselves. Though situations and life circumstances aren't ideal in many cases, there is always a choice to learn, apply, and use skills to help you improve and better yourself, which, inevitably, improves your situation through your personal change of heart.
Lmao. Why'd you have the kids if I can't have the same chance at success. Some of us don't have kids, making 70k a year and having to move back home. What a joke.

Really good video
Thank you! I'm glad you found it useful.

If you can't make it on your own making $70,000, then maybe you're the problem.
Um seriously go live in an apartment 70k is good!
Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
