I (26m) used to be depressed but then I realized: I am everything my 17 year old self wanted

For the past couple years of adulthood I’ve kinda been worried that I will always be forever alone because I’m not a desirable person. I’ve never had a gf or anything and I think I’m so far behind the curve that even if I were to get one, my lack of experience would end it.

When I was 17, I knew that because I was short skinny and Asian, I would not be physically attractive to anyone, and the only way I could possibly stand a chance of finding a potential partner was to become super rich. I figured a gold digger is better than nothing. Also I loved lil Uzi vert so I was super into the hypebeast fashion and flexing and all that.

Ever since then, grinding became my main priority for years and years. Worked a ton and spent very little. Invested everything. Long story short, I eventually reached a net worth of $100,000 at 24 years old, and then a $250,000 net worth at 25.

Now at 26, I have everything my 17 year old self always dreamt of. I have a ton of Yeezys. A ton of rare air jordans including off white Jordans. Multiple goyard bags. Multiple rimowa luggages. Burberry sunglasses. A Rolex panda Daytona. The newest M5 15 inch MacBook Air. I have a Canada goose jacket, a moncler jacket, arcteryx jackets, my whole wardrobe is lululemon and I have a ton of clothes to last multiple weeks. I get fresh haircuts every 2 weeks. I drive a 2026 Tesla model y premium brand new off the lot. I eat steak and eggs and avocados every single day. I pay a cleaning service to clean my house and a car detailer to detail my car. I’ve given a $400 tip once.

I’m the young rich flexer my 17 year old self always wanted. The only problem is that it never resulted in what I had hoped. I got all this money and all these luxuries in hopes to attract a partner and it just doesn’t work like that.

At least I have a lot of nice thing. Everywhere I go it probably looks like I’m big flexing and people probably think I’m trying but this is my every day. These are just my regular clothes and regular items.

Current FSD is SIGNIFICANTLY worse than when I got my car 1 month ago.

I bought a brand new model y premium about 1 month ago and the FSD was amazing. So human like. One month in, I get an update, and ever since then, awful FSD. So slow, slowly pulls in front of other cars. So many other issues. Unbelievable

Anyone in Chicagoland area interested in buying my 2013 Toyota Prius?

Bought it in 2020 when it was at 89k. Now it’s 185k miles.

Very sentimental to me but I can’t justify keeping it anymore.

Engine shakes when you first turn it on. Might be a clogged EGR issue.

ABS and Brake Lights are on the dash. There’s something wrong with the brakes so you will have to tow it to get it fixed up.

I am genuinely VERY IMPRESSED with TotalBass

I thought High Anxiety and ESPECIALLY More Anxiety were really good, and I had my doubts whether 2slimey would be able to top them. Here we are with a new 6 song EP along with 1 new song on his YouTube so that’s 7 songs… that’s pretty much the length of More Anxiety. And once again, every single song is a banger. Every single song. Wine and Bentley and lambs are my favorite but every single song is so good. Left right amazing. Ballout amazing. He’s really living up to the Michael Jackson comparisons

TotalBass drops in less than 45 mins!!! This is my plan:

I just ate half of my Taco Bell cravings box and now I am currently on the toilet having bad diarrhea.

I was planning to go downstairs and open my garage and smoke a joint before the album release but I’m worried this diarrhea will take a while.

I’m going to try to finish this up as fast as possible so I can go to the garage, smoke the joint, wash my hands, and then listen to 2slimey exactly when it drops.

I usually only smoke dab pens too so this joint will get me gone.

Do you guys think I should listen for the first time with my AirPods Pro 3 or inside my 2026 Tesla model y premium?

FSD hit a huge pothole. Do I need to do any service?

Was in the heart of the city of Chicago and FSD hit a pothole and it was big. I heard a crack when hitting it.

I then got out to inspect the car and I did not see any cosmetic damage at all: not even a scratch. PSI is normal on all tires. No weird sounds when driving. No wobbly feeling.

Should I get it checked out? Have you guys hit potholes? What do you do when you hit potholes? How much does it cost to get it checked out?

Deposited 500 dollars but it’s saying my USD balance is still 0.00.

Even in my deposit history, it says $500 and it’s processing. Usually it’s available for instant trade. It says it’s available for instant trade. But then I submit an order, and it says I have 0.00 of USD. I’m trying to buy BTC below 60k and now it does this

What if humans born before before 1999 had Hardware 3 and humans born after 2000 have Hardware 4?

Do you think there is a human equivalent of the upgrade from hardware 3 to 4?

I got a rate of 1.99% on a Model Y premium instead of the 0.99%. Why?

I have over 750 credit score, and the Tesla website says if you have excellent credit, you can get 0.99% for the model y premium.

What is the reason I only got 1.99%?

I said I was 26, male, nurse, 10k monthly.

Should I be embarrassed that I got 1.99%? Does this mean I’m not as elite as those who got 0.99%?

I was thinking about making a YouTube video breaking down the financing of my vehicle but I don’t want people to think I’m financially disadvantaged because I only got offered 1.99% instead of 0.99%

As a twentyager, what is your opinion of driving teslas?

I ask because I’m 26. I graduated high school in 2018.

Around 2018, I felt like teslas were the next big thing and the next step into the future type thing. I felt like it was one of those things that was a trophy and a flex to have.

Being 18 years old at the time, it was my dream car.

Definitely there was an era where I feel many thought they were cooler than lambos.

Now there’s a lot of negative opinions of teslas.

I’m 26 now and recently bought a Tesla for the first time and satisfied my dream of owning my dream car despite the controversy.

I was wondering if anyone else here felt the same? Anyone else around my age that wanted a Tesla for years and finally has one or is planning to get one?

I just bought a new model Y premium. Is it justified given my situation?

Here’s my situation tho.

I have no debt besides the car now.

I now have 50k debt at 1.99%.

I have 130k invested in assets.

I am 26 years old.

I had to buy a new car because my 2013 Prius keeps breaking down. But I’m wondering if I hit too far above my weight class.

What net worth would justify a model y premium?

Should I buy new or used model y?

I am going to buy a Tesla but I am unsure whether to buy a new or used one. Here’s what I’m looking at:

Option A: Tesla.com, new awd model y. 0% financing for 72 months. I will be paying about 45k in total.

Option B: Used 2022-2024 model y with 50-90k miles for around 30k. No 0% financing, so it will be whatever the regular rate is.

Info about me:

26 years old. Currently have 143k invested in assets. Have 0 debt. Have 756 credit score. I drove a paid off 2013 Prius with 185k miles and today it broke for the final time.

Am I justified in getting the new car? Or is it too expensive?

Was wondering if anyone else felt this way.

I’m 26m. Starting to feel scared for what the remainder of my life will be.

I’m finishing up college right now. Got 8 months left. I’m scared because I’m not good at making friends and keeping friends.

I’m not good at conversations. I’m not good at caring. I don’t reach out. Im not good at listening. Not good at follow up questions. I don’t speak unless spoken to. I’m introvert.

I started realizing this because I have 8 months of college left. A lot closer to the end than the start, and I’ve made some friends but we aren’t very close anymore. First couple years we would hang out outside of school pretty often. Now we will talk in class still but I’m more distant.

I just feel I’m the only one out of my friends that is not in a relationship and all they talk about is their relationship and it’s just not relatable for me and it’s hard for me to care about other peoples relationships.

I’m starting to see where life is going. I don’t know how to talk to anyone anymore. If I don’t get a girlfriend, it will be even harder for me to make friends. I realized that I’m not going to be attending social events in the future because I will be the only single guy.
