Am I wrong for chasing my goals over marriage?

Recently one of our family friend's daughter who's only 20 got married to a rich guy who respects her, takes care of her and everything. I'm happy for her but the problem is her mother is now pushing my mother to get me married asap before it's too late and that nobody will like me after I turn 30. I'm only 24 right now. My family is very supportive Alhamdulilah. They never pressurize me for marriage or anything so they already told her mother that it's too early right now and she's (me) working on her (my) career right now.

Idk what happened after that but she got mad and told me that it's not easy to earn money for women and that I should give up on my goals and get married soon before it's too late and later in life I will regret when I'll have no husband or kids because this is all a woman's life is about.

I've been overthinking about this now. A little about me: I was born in a middle class family and I have seen many ups and downs in my life. As a kid, I saw my father working hard day and night for me and my siblings until he got sick and he couldn't save any money in his life. Seeing my father like that as a kid really affected me and now my only goal in life is to earn money. Lots of money. I want to build something for my future so I can live my life to the fullest. I have also seen very toxic and failed marriages in my family and I'm very traumatized because of that. Now marriage is my least priority.

But when people say things like that, I start to doubt myself. It feels like I'm doing some mistake. Is it wrong to prioritize your goals over marriage? Are there people in Pakistan who marry late in their 30s and living a good life? I'm very stressed out and want to hear some stories like that. I hope I'm not wrong to choose myself first.

Watching "see you at work tomorrow" and everytime I see seo In guk in a serious role, all I think about is this drama and him in this scene 😭

Seo in guk was such a cutie in this drama oh my. This tells that his range is insane and he has come a long way. I'm loving his character in "see you at work tomorrow." I personally love office romance, this role suits him the most but I also want to see him more in comedy dramas. What do you guys think?

Drama name of this pic: Shopaholic Louis

Am I the only one who find nerdy men with lots of knowledge on different topics hot or I'm just ovulating?

I have been noticing that I find men who share their knowledge with me or teach me something without judging me very hot especially if they're wearing those formal office shirts or maybe I'm just ovulating?

To all the sales people, istg i love you guys so much but please please please help me

I've been doing client outreach for last 6 months and I still haven't closed a client. Idk what am I doing wrong but my niche is Graphic Design (very saturated but I know some designers who are still earning $1M annually in this field) but I'm here stuck in a loop. I have tried cold emailing, cold calling and sending DMs on LinkedIn but nothing's working.

I think there's something wrong in my pitch. What I do normally is research about agencies/startups, find out the problems they're facing, send a simple DM where I mention their problem and try to provide a solution but most of them responds with "Hey, my dms are filled with people like you so f off."

WHAT SHOULD I DOOOOO
