I'm 26, engaged, purchased my first property back in December have no debt (besides mortgage and student loans) and recently started a new job that pays me £48k.
I can't remember the last time I felt stress free and genuinely happy. Hated school as I got bullied. To avoid being bullied at college I ignored most people and as a result had no social life. Felt depressed and insecure for the time I didn't have a job till I was 17 and since finishing university have felt pressured to financially exceed.
I think my biggest problem is that I am a little burnt out. During University I worked on the weekends so never had a day off. When I finished university I immediately started working 2 jobs (72 hours a week) and never took a break since. No gap year, no 2 weeks abroad just constant studying or working since I was in school.
Sorry if I am ranting here. What I am trying to say is, no matter what stage of my life I am at, I never feel like I have no significant worries, there is always a load on my mine. For a year I was stressing about getting a house. Now that I got it I am stressing about our planned wedding and successfully completing the probation period where I work.
I just wanted to know with you guys, what's currently on your mind? What are you current stresses?
I also what to encourage people to offer help to anyone they can also.
