Dear potential victim of the quarter life crisis,
Do you feel like you are about to lose your mind if you do not walk away from your life and start over? Do you day dream about quitting your job/dropping out of school and running away to join the circus/bartend/captain a ship?
Stop right there! I have already learned this lesson for you. In a year, you will be broke, your credit will be ruined, and you will be looking for a steady, boring desk job with a steady, dependable paycheck. I promise.
In five years, you will want to settle down, have kids, buy a house. You will find Mr./Ms. Right. The two of you will get married. A few months down the road, someone will pee on a stick and get that plus sign. You will find your dream house, and you will try to buy it.
That is when the reality of your quarter life crisis blunder will settle comfortably around you and begin choking the life from you. Your panic and run approach to life will almost certainly have ruined your credit (unless you have a trust fund or a sugar daddy/momma, then by all means, ignore me and live it up).
So, I implore you: keep the steady, boring desk job you have so that you can keep paying the bills that show up like clockwork (regardless of whether you spent all your tips on Jager shots) and keep that magic number (your credit score) in the right range until your Uncle Harry leaves you gobs of cash or you convince some old man to pay your way.
Sincerely,
The perpetual renter
