^ This is the type of thing that makes me realize that I should good back to school and take classes as soon as I can. I'd LOVE to make 100k+ by thirty.
Look into the grants I told you about. Sounds like you make qualify. Different states call it different things. It NY it was an individual training grant. Go to your state's website that features grants and employment opportunities and you may see something or you can call your nearest workforce center and ask them about government training grants. The program I enrolled in helped me get my first proper job and it was 100% FREE!!
What field do you work in and what is your degree in?
I only have a 2 year degree and make over 150k at 26. I didn't even get my degree until 24? and I was making the same money at that point, having only been to a tech school.
A lot of it involves work ethic and some physical work (and attention to detail), stuff most americans aren't willing to do, yet they don't mind complaining about their underemployment. Works for me.

I will admit...I do compare...everything I can't help it. I know there's no blueprint but if majority of people are having success up to a certain point and you're not wouldn't you want to know that?
honestly probably the most harmful thing you can do to your own success is sit on facebook looking at how fantastic everyone elses life is. one thing i think is funny i hear people compare themselves to others on facebook and im like do you really think htey have this favulous life, most people seem to use facebook to showcase their vacation or the most glitzy elements of their life but that is not their everyday life.
focus on improving yourself, learning new skills, maybe starting a business, etc.

It's more like I just check on LinkedIn every few months just to see what people are up to. I don't have Fb I hate it.. so I'm not constantly
just comparing
