Worried About My Future
I'm turning twenty seven this year and I'm still uncertain about my future. Sometimes when I'm not busy I will stop and think about these concerns and they just don't go away. I have some personal future concerns regarding financial, career and relationships.
Financial
This is a picture of my wallet and a 1 dollar bill in my currency Malaysian Ringgit
I'm slightly worried about my financial status for the future as I don't think I'm making enough money to where I want to be for the quality of life that I want. I haven't even bought a house yet and I've seen some other people in their twenties after graduating buy a house already. On top of that, my mom and stepdad keep asking me when I'm going to buy a house and that seriously makes me stressed out sometimes.
I'm not even sure if I want to own a house so fast as that's a lot of money to commit as I'm still young and haven't really settled down in any location yet. My way of addressing this is just to do my best, hustle and try to make as much money as I can and one of the ways is through blogging so I have been doing my best to blog at least once a day.
Career
I'm still not 100% completely sure what I want to do in the future. Currently, I'm just working at my dad's business and doing part time admin work for a business networking club which I can comfortably work from home on my laptop. I don't think I will do this forever though as this is not my passion and this is just a means to make money at the moment. I also know that I don't want to work in a normal office job.
Ideally, I would love to be full time on web3 gaming, NFTS and blogging on hive but this may take some time and isn't too realistic at the moment since they crypto market is down and I'm still building my reputation by blogging more and engaging with other writers on hive. I would also love to work in the Esports scene or anything related to gaming. I could address the concern of my career by trying to explore jobs in the esports industry as well as building up my blog to the point where I can make the full time web3gaming, NFTS and blogging a reality.
Relationship
Oh boy relationship this is a big one. As I said before, I'm turning twenty seven this year but I've never been into a real relationship before. It's not that I don't want to but I never found the one that clicks well with me or it was just one sided feeling where I would be interested in them and they weren't or vice versa. I'm someone that wants a long-term relationship that goes into marriage and in our generation it's mostly just short relationships so it's a bit diffucult to meet someone that thinks the same way and also have mutual feelings for one another.
This slightly makes me stressed too because my grandparents and parents always asking me where my girlfriend is. I actually had a point where they thought I was gay and I'm definitely not and don't get me wrong there's nothing wrong with being gay. I just really don't roll that way and I'm only into girls. To address this problem I guess I have to put myself out there more and try to social more as well as play some dating apps to get to know more girls.
Thank you for reading about my own concerns for my own future. I don't think I'm alone here with concerns about personal future. I hope that you guys also figure out how to solve your concerns and all the best. Happy Weekend to you all!

With your age, you are still young, and you may find a better future for yourself. I know the financial problems have been getting worse nowadays. Inflation and all things on the markets are getting more expensive. It's such a tough world out there. I hope you find something that may help you and your future.
Hi mell. Thanks for your kind words. Ya it's totally different now for our generation and I feel like my parents don't get that. I mean our generation is definitely more spoiled since we didn't have to go to war etc but we face different problems. I hope you are doing great yourself. Thank you for taking your time to read.
No problem. I understand it because I am struggling as well. And it's harder for me since I'm a single mother and my age is catching up with me.
All we need to do now is just struggle and hope to get a better life for ourselves, and I do hope my children will have to bear with the reality.
Oh no 🥺. Sorry to hear that. Well your situation is worse you have a child to be responsible for . I agree with you we just have to struggle and make it through. Not give up and do our best and hope the opportunities present themselves. Like hive is great I've even gotten two online friends to start blogging
I have only been using hive for about a year. I needed to write because of my depression, which is why I'm here. I find a lot of relief in writing, and I also make friends on Hive. Which state of Malaysia are you from, by the way?
I'm from Selangor 👀. You're from malaysia?. Oh no but now you're not depressed right🥺
Oic, I'm from Sabah. Malaysian as well. Hehe.😋
So far, I'm okay. I do hope it's not going to relapse again.
Except my panic disorder is still bugging me, but it's under control. Hopefully the demon won't be messing up with me though. It's not the best thing to deal with.
oh wow didn't know there were Malaysia on hive do you know others xD. Ok that' sgood that you're ok try to keep it that way.
There are Malaysians here but not a lot. You can join the Asean Hive Community, where you can find some Malaysians posting their stories. Or you can just search the tag.
#teammalaysia for example.
wow so sorry for the late response I didn't get a notificaiton or missed it cuz too many lol. Oh there's a team malaysia tag? is that like a community
It was, but I don't believe it is as active now but you can have a look.
By using a hashtag, like #teamamalaysia, we may easily find other Malaysians online.
Oh 😵 maybe it's time for you to revive it. I saw some accounts have curation for their country. Malaysia should have one too.
Lol. Why me? I am not active here as always and i rather read and write.
oh ok :( then we wait for someone to do it
The pressure, bro. I totally understand your situation. Sometimes, you just wanna ask yourself am I really late for everything since you feel like you're already behind. But you know, you're still in the phase where you're finding and building your own career. Don't rush.
Thanks man. what about you where are you in this.
Once we look at our wallets and look at the life we want to live, it gets blurry. Most people set a goal, before 25, I'd buy a house or a car and when they clock 25 with no house or car, anxiety kicks in.
You still have your life ahead of you. Don't let anyone force you into making the wrong decisions or into thinking that you're not good enough. Just do you and in your words keep 'hustling'.✨
Thank you for your words. It's definitely easier said than done but ya let's just do our best tkeep hustling and live life still got many years but these days I feel the time is going by really fast. Three years went by in a blink of an eye
Time doesn't wait so we should do what time does...keep moving ✨
Have a great weekend
:P you too have a great weekend Thank you!
27 is still young to be worried about a house in my opinion. Everyone has got their time and at least you’re not just sitting at home doing nothing. In due time, you’ll get your house. This generation isn’t so much vested into long term relationships and definitely rushing yourself into one could lead to heartbreaks.
Maybe just like you’ve said, putting yourself out there more could help. Good luck with your aims man.
Thanks man 🥺 at least there's some people that agree with me the house thing. What about you how are you and your future 🤔
I guess I’m stuck too. Still in school and trying to figure out what I do next when I complete. 🤔
Ooo you still at school just enjoy that man 😂 don't stress
Words of Shawnnft. I’ll take your advice😂.
😂no really just enjoy .you have many years to work and other stuff
I see you’re into games and NFTs shawn. Would love to pick your brain sometime on them.
👀you can try that game I posted recently that has 3k busd for first place
Greetings, friend, everything comes in due time, it is not good to speed things up, if you don't have a girlfriend it doesn't matter when it's time and if you can't buy a house either, as far as work on web 3.0 is concerned, you have a broad ecosystem and it's excellent to work in any niche,
Hey man. Thanks for the kind words 🥺. Ya I will go at my own pace I just hope my parents can relax a bit
It’s okay Shawn, everyone have their own pace of life. Our era is different than the older generation. Even though we are in our 20s, we are still economically unstable, some more with the current inflation. It’s a fact that we could not bear any relationship or start a family at this age because it’s expensive. You are not alone in this, many of my friends in the end of their 20s feel this way too. What we see on socmed is not always real, it’s just others that trying to live to society standards. Buying a house is also very expensive. If they constantly pressure you, maybe you can try living alone. Don’t worry too much, just keep doing what you doing.
👀 woah you read my post 😂. Thank you for your long message. Ya I'm aware of all this but still it doesn't really help when they're not chill and always on your back.
Hello, all your concerns are totally valid. At your age my mind was focused on the fact that by 30 I should be married, have a family, a car, a house and a pet.
The real question is what your heart wants. Notice that you say you are not sure if you want to have a house yet. I understand that insecurity at the moment I don't want to have a house and your concern is due to pressure from your parents. So calm down and look for what gives you peace.
As for work you already know what you want, so focus and look for that form of work and income you desire. It doesn't matter if it's not already...things take work and time. Besides, I'll let you in on a secret: It's better to be happy in the process,
Lastly, relationships... from my humble point of view... you should go out and socialize more!... I think you like being at home, but how are you going to meet girls if you don't leave the house. ... I understand the online sites that allow you to do that, but nothing compares to being able to look into another person's eyes and discover the emotions that are hidden behind a glance.
Firstly thanks for reblogging. So are you married now and have a house and all that 😅.
I don't have any certainty yet about the home. I mean I would love to own a home but I just don't think it's the right time for me as that's not cheap 😳.
You are right about the career since I roughly know what I want I should just keep pursuing that and seeing if there's any opportunities for me 😅. Ya I'm for sure happy now that I'm in Malaysia . I feel more at home then when I lived in America . I think the Asian culture suited me better.
For the relationship part it's easier said than done 😂. I told you before that I'm an introvert so yeah plus I have trust issued from when I got bullied when I was younger. It's not so easy for me to make new friends in real life. Well I feel easier to talk online then meet after the feeling seems right. Cause if it's real life I prob would be too shy i think 😂
hahahaha to make a long story short, at least I have a pet, otherwise I don't mortify myself anymore, I live life one day at a time.
Thank the universe, you were born in this technological era, which allows you to meet someone online and then be able to meet them. In my time, no technology. To socialize I have to go out on the street, go to parties, meetings, etc.
In your time 😳. Means you older than i thought . Well times changed 😂. Now students have chatgpt to do their assignments. Wish I had that 😂
Yay! 🤗
