I’m a millennial & having a hard time adapting to the new age
85% matchI’m making this post bc I may be losing my marbles & well, what better place to just get it off my chest, freely.
I’m a 29 year old guy. I’ve grown up and live in FL , had blue collar, humble hard working parents, and was taught to do the right thing, work hard, build a family to provide for, and create a good life.
My mom passed young & my dad never went to school so really he had always just encouraged me to work a good job/career.
At 18, I moved out and got a place, worked two jobs to put myself into college, and had to drop out 2 years later cause I couldn’t afford it. Looking back, I can tell it just wasn’t for me.
I focused on building at a career so I got a respected company job, tried the corporate ladder for a few years, which was going no where. Eventually moved out of state a few times to chase opportunity.
I was living up north, & for some time, I had finally found traction in my life; I spent a few years learning to Day trade, and finally became profitable. At the time, I transitioned out of a corp sales role, into mortgage banking think that it would bring growth. hustled 12-14 hour days to get through the worst years . Sadly After 4 years all it brought me was burnout, addiction, and bottom side of six figures.
I have an amazing woman I love to death that i met at this job, and can only hope to grow a family with and provide someday provide for. Embarrassed to say I can’t do that right now…
She immigrated to this country, and sadly we have to worry about deportations in today’s world. She is genuinely is more eager to be an American than I am, pays taxes, and loves this country more than I do…
In 2022, I moved back down south to care for my father, & we dated back and forth between there and NY where she was living. We decided to move in together down here, so we got a place short after and have been happily strong since.
In 2024, I had decided to quit because the job of my health; it was insanely toxic & unrealistic pressure, & I was taking 60-80mg of Adderall to keep up. I would work about 12 hours a day so days, trade at night between 10pm to 3am, and get up at 8am to do it all over again. That year, I had made 170k, and 80k was from that job .. the four years prior I had been consistently profitable trading. had quite a bit of money saved so decided it was best to focus on my health and trading, and eventually expand into something else.
Soon after we both certified in Data Analytics , because we hated sales, and my passion in markets and analysis had always felt natural like it came more natural for me, So I decided to pursue that for future work instead. She also liked the idea so she followed.
My girlfriend was also really losing herself from this job so she had quit as well, & Thankfully she got out before falling further in the demands as I did lol.
She started trading with me & we spent a year making around the same income as our jobs, and it was great. we worked few hours late night, hung out with low stress, & had plenty of time to work on ourselves, have some fun, put some savings away, work on our Data Portfolios, & work towards growth.
and then along came Trump.
Shortly after taking office, the markets fundamentally changed and have not been the same since. Through time, losing days turned into losing months, and we tried to hurdle through it by tapering risk and cutting back so we can pivot until it cooled.
I started focusing on finding work as an analyst, and her as well, and wasted many months not finding any luck. After several attempts, even side hustles I picked up, and doing all we can, we ultimately ended up losing mostly everything, and back working for in sales at a different company. We tried a few to find a decent job that was promising. fortunately she thrived here and is doing great but recently growing more stressed from it.
I was let go because for the life of me it’s like I can’t find it in my brain to do it anymore…
Since then, I’ve tried coming up with busines

Dog tired millennial - a rant-ish
65% matchHow are my fellow millennials feeling right now in corporate America? Did you quit your corp job and follow your passions and interests? Even if it’s for a little bit, I just need a break and I guess I am here seeking some sort of validation and hoping to hear some success stories of when people threw in the towel after burnout and a job more or less causing depression.
I’ve been in corporate America for about 20 years now. I feel like my whole working career has been a lie. Work hard and climb the ladder - you’ll live comfortably. 6 figures later and $100k is the new $50k and frankly I’m just so over it all. I can’t say I haven’t been able to get ahead because by most standards, I have. I do have about $25k in accessible savings and another $80k in 401k.
Like most people I’m tired of being tied to an employer, I’m tired of the rat race. I’m just fricking tired. My current job (Sr Accountant) was outsourced to the Philippines earlier this year, I moved to a QA role and that was outsourced as well a few months later, and now I am training a financial AI model and I hate it. I hate AI. My company is now owned by Blackrock as of a few months ago and my will to work is dismal.
So what’s my point? >>> has anyone switched to contract work only? I am thinking of working with a recruiting company to find contract gigs. I am good at what I do and hirable, and after managing some folks and seeing other’s work - I think it’s of higher than normal standard. I also plan to nurture a few Etsy stores - I make reusable coffee filters and also greeting cards. And then I’d add some dog sitting in to make ends meet. I am just so tired. My current job has more or less made me depressed. I can barely get out of bed for it anymore. To further the feeling, I no longer feel included and like I am being phased out, which I am - I am training AI… which utterly kills my soul, but i have a mortgage to pay.
Anyhow. Just me?

What motivates the structure of your life?
58% matchI'm not needing firm answers as much as I'm curious to know if anyone else has felt this way.
Long story short, I (40F) am navigating a lot of transition. In 2020, I gave up my dream of teaching full-time at the college level due to burnout and financial instability. In 2024, I got divorced and laid off.
Like many millennials, I've experienced a lot of existential heartaches. Doing what I loved did not pay off. The love my ex and I had was not enough to save our marriage. Working hard in all my jobs did not get me ahead; I've had bad luck with abusive managers who actively sabotage my success.
All of this has left me feeling a little leaned-out of my own life. After leaving higher ed, I went back to school and became a clinical mental health counselor, focusing on career. I'm interested in the work and I love my clients--but I love working with people in general, and I can't summon the same dogged energy I felt back when I could say I had a dream. I'm disinterested in giving so much of myself to dreams that capitalism made impossible.
I've been dating a partner for 1.5 years who introduced me to RA and polyamory, although we met when he wasn't dating anyone else and that's continued to be the case. I've done a lot of reading and research about polyamory over the past couple of years, follow polyamorous content creators, have gone to a few meetups, and dated a wonderful person briefly, although dating other partners ended up feeling overwhelming for me, so I put it on pause and it's just my partner and I for now. To sum up: The ideas around RA and polyamory, more than the relationship structure itself, have made me radically reconsider the way I think about... everything.
My partner and I are long distance, and sadly he can't move to me because he co-parents his kid with his ex. At times I've felt really stuck--angry and distraught that the only way my partner and I can see more of each other is for me to "change my life for a man" and lose the support system and friends I've built up for the past 10 years. My partner mourns our distance but also wants moving to be 100% my choice for the same reasons, and hasn't pressured me. I've also been paralyzed by fear, feeling the compulsion to make sure this relationship is "perfect" and "worth it" if I'm going to be upending my life--something that is impossible to do and unfair to my partner. We've had a lot of talks and are on no particular timeline, but know we'd both prefer to be closer.
And yet, more recently, I've felt much of that anger and fear lift off. What if... I'm just allowed to do things? To move and have a messy, human adventure that is more likely than not going to end in heartbreak (because they all do), but would be something interesting to do all the same? For instance, I've always wanted to be a parent and it's never been possible for me, and I'd love to spend more time with my partner's kid before they get older and leave the nest (kiddo and I have met multiple times and it's great.) Perhaps this is an opportunity for me to do that? That wouldn't be my only reason for moving and it's not a super strong desire, but then again, nothing is right now lol.
I think the strongest desire I have is to foster my connections, give myself all the space and time I want to think and be, and not punish myself if any of this goes "wrong." I've tried so, so hard to make the "right" choices in life, to fit who I am in within the lines of this world... and it's been a spectacular failure! I'm not just off the tracks, I'm a train plunging through the fucking jungle. More than anything, I'm wanting that to be okay.
Six months ago I was looking around at all the furniture I've thrifted in my apartment, thinking about the 10 long years it's taken me to painstakingly decorate and optimize everything, and how anguished I'd be to lose all of this... and now, I'm feeling it's all become too curated, too just-so, brittle. Throwing it all in the air does

Downgrading Career?
55% matchI don't know how much of what's on my mind right now is the product of pure frustration or imposter syndrome or ADHD burnout or what, but I'm shocking myself by considering that there's a part of me that would really like to stop shooting for the highest star in my job career and job search, and just do something that I like and can feel good about. Thing is, I also have to support myself on it. Read on, and I apologize in advance for the length.
I've been doing mostly administrative support for most of my career, minus about four or five years I during which I dipped into a different role that I wouldn't mind doing again but it was kind of a one-off job and I haven't seen anything similar since that doesn't demand qualifications I don't have. Over the years I've accumulated enough admin experience that I rose to the the level of executive assistant, directly supporting C-suites and other senior leadership types, often while simultaneously managing most other office functions and once even managing the CEO's separate commercial rental property as well. I was laid off in 2025 and found another EA role a few months later, then was laid off again very recently due to a corporate aquisition that resulted in some duplication. Meh, it happens, I get it. Anyway, I'm very good at what I do but I'm starting to get really tired of navigating the job market every time I turn around.
As a household of one in an economy where the cost of everything is skyrocketing, I now find I need to be making as close to six figures as I can possibly get. $100k+ is not unheard-of for high-level EAs in my geographic area (I live in the DC-MD-VA market), but it isn't super-common either. I've been within 25-30k of that number in a couple of jobs and was frankly underpaid for all of what I was doing, but lately most of the EA jobs I'm seeing that pay what I need are in-person at longer distances than I care to commute, and jobs I could do that are remote or in-person but close to home pay more like $50-65k, just because of the way business concentrates in some areas vs others. I love the area where I live and want to remain living within a very short (5 to 7 mile) radius because living farther away would put me into commuting hell for the very specific things I enjoy doing outside of my working hours AND be even more expensive than where I live now.
Time for the kickers:
I'm 60, but my interests, energy level, and skill set are more like those of my friends in their mid to late 40s. I'm tech-savvy, to the point that I often fix people's computer issues so they never have to call the IT helpdesk. Same with smartphone glitches, etc. If I don't tell people my age they tend to lump me in with the 40-somethings. Great, I'm good with a holding pattern there. But here's the thing: I can't ever afford to retire, and even if I did I'd probably put in 40 hours doing volunteer work because I can't just sit around bored (did I mention I have ADHD?) While I'd love to be able to step aside and leave a job opening for someone younger, because let's face it I know perfectly well that Millennials and GenZ are getting screwed badly these days, there's the fact that...
I got screwed out of retirement savings during the last big recession, partly because I had stepped away from full-time work for a few years to care for an elderly parent. I never was able to put that money back. I do not own a house or a condo. I live alone and rent an apartment, which of course means my rent goes up every year. I'd willingly share a house with the right person or people, under the right circumstances if it meant I didn't have to scramble to try to land the type of high-level, high-pressure job where it's possible that the ONLY part I will like is the paycheck. Fck that noise, because I've already done enough I'm-only-here-for-the-money-and-I-hate-everything jobs for at least one lifetime.
I went back to school a few years ago, intending to make a career change that then stalled
