--- I think Mental Health would be he best sub-thread for this, but maybe the mods have a better suggestion ---
I'm a forum regular, but due to the specifics of this thread i would prefer to remain anonymous.
I'm basically looking for support and encouragement, i feel like i have none and those closest to me seem indifferent when i express my idea's or concerns.
I've recently undergone a massive shift in my life for better or worse; moved back home with folks, lost a huge chunk of friends, ended a relationship and have had to build my finance's back up from scratch.. i've had a lot of life experience but a lack of planning has left me broke and back at square one. My parents have and continue to help me tremendously financially which i greatly appreciate but emotionally they can be difficult to relate too and genuine concerns i have are often met with a very faint sign of interest.. there's a generation gap of almost 40 years, and they are moving into the retirement period of their life..
I have a goal and a rough plan, that would see me save between $100,000-$140,000 within the next 3 years.. with the explicit intention of starting a business overseas. Living at home will give me a major opportunity to save a lot of money.. an opportunity that i will likely never have again in my life. I believe i can do this because i am extremely disciplined when it comes to money management.. but at the same time, the cost of what i will have to give up for the next couple of years may very well end me along with the long working weeks.
Worst case scenario if i can't get the business off the ground, i will still have a substantial amount of money to start in a different direction.. so looking at it from a long term perspective.. using the opportunity of living at home to mass save for a couple of years seems like a very good plan, i will be 28 by the time i reach this goal. It's my immediate needs and wants however that will drive me insane during this period..
I realize this is not drug-related, but the stress and lack of support is impacting my mental and emotional health.. i need life advice, there are days where i feel like this idea is bordering on been ridiculously unobtainable, or run into doubt that i can pull it off or hesitation if its what i actually want to do.. and just general confusion about the direction of my life, and i only have my own thoughts to bounce off.. so this is not good.
Thankyou in advance,
