Mate, I’ve been watching these for about 1.5 years now and have seen unbelievable change and growth. 1.5 years ago I was living with my parents, studying a degree I hated, and spending all my free time writing code, thinking that writing code was just a distraction. I realised software engineering is my absolute passion, and so I set out to build a portfolio as good as anyone with many years of work experience in the field. I’m 24 now, 6 months ago I moved into my own apartment in the city, and 2 months ago I got my first job as a software engineer. I have so much vitality and drive - my next step is to start my own tech company! Thank you Jordan. Sign up to the Patreon guys!

Careful, Jordan, about feeding into the prevailing epidemic of status anxiety. Sometimes the most important thing is not focusing on how far you've come or how much you've got, but in being a good, kind person who wants to contribute to something bigger than just themselves. Which is not an argument for partying your life away, but may be an argument for not beating yourself up about it if that's what you have done, or if it's what you still want to do. The world contains plenty of people who are superficially successful - who have all the boxes ticked - and who are miserable.

Electronics would definitely be my largest skill/interest but I also have been learning how to develop my own photographic film at home, with chemicals mixed together to make developers for even movie film. Shot and developed some super 8 film and processed that myself and ended up with a projectable short movie. Mind you some chemicals do require special treatment but it’s a very fun learning experience. I’d like to learn more with wood and metal work. I’ll hopefully be getting into a electronic engineering course after I finish year 12.

I'm kinda in the middle of these two examples. I didn't "party" my 20's away, however I travelled the world for years (visited 72 countries) lived in 4 different cities, worked lots of different jobs and managed to finish university (mostly while on the road). Stated my career at 29 and now earning a good salary in Sydney at 35. It was difficult to have little money in the bank at 30 but I wouldn't trade those experiences for money, even if you offered it to me. If I died tomorrow I would be 100% satisfied with how I've lived my life. I'm also way happier and content in life then most people I interact with regularly and look 10 years younger than I am. No regrets but did just make it in time career wise. I gew up in poverty and lived in social housing as a child and decided not to continue the poverty cycle of my family so I went my own way in life in search of role models. I'm really happy with how far I've come in life so far considering my starting point, and we all start life unequally. My plan is to move overseas in about 15 years time, retire early and have a higher standard of living there than I do in Sydney now.

I had to work for every dollar and spent it on travel so was basically poor for a whole decade and owned very little. Long term backpacking can be affordable if you stay in the cheapest hostels, take the bus and live on beans and rice (or less). The best way to pull this off is to live in a cheap share house (or at home) work non-stop for months (work several jobs and have no life basically) and save every dollar you can. Then travel for as long as you can. Rinse and repeat. I was based in London for 4 years so visiting Europe, North Africa and safer countries in the Middle East (while working the 9-5) was very accessible. A mix of both methods is how I managed to travel so much.

Hey, im not an expert on life strategies or phycology, but in my opinion, you should focus more on the people you look up to and aspire to be. Be driven by their discipline and hard work, not by the laziness of people who don't want to be, and here's why. If you are always telling yourself you never want to be like person A, because they are 30 without any money or job, you will do everything you can to not be like them, whereas if you say to yourself that you want to be like person B, a self-made success or whatever, you will do everything you can to be better than them. The difference is, once you are better than person A you will have no more aspirations or goals, so you will be only slightly better, whereas once you're better than person B, you have made it in life.

A very accurate video but a few things I will note down for the younger folk to be wary of: - Developing your skills doesn't mean just studying at uni or tafe. - Don't be brainwashed into studying just for the sake of studying and because millions before you have done the same. - Sometimes just developing skills yourself is the best way I studied for three years post school then worked three years and certain circumstances led me to realise i didn't want to have that job, so I then did an electrical apprenticeship (started mid twenties) and now can safely say I'm better off for it, even more so given this pandemic. It's always good to have goals and develop your skills/career but always ask yourself is this the best investment of my time?

Jordies does make good points but also a couple of things that have been omitted. The obvious one is what if you dont like/know what you want to do. I studied at uni and while I loved studying I hated the job. So I went to Korea to teach English which started my ESL teaching career which is not lucrative at all. However, I have very good teaching skills but no ambition to be a "teacher ". So im studying a masters of Data Science to make some $$$. Like Jordan im 32 but unlike him I travelled the world in my 20s and got some really great perspectives on how people live and how to be happy. Setting yourself up financially may not make you happy at all. You may fall into the trap of having to work more so you can afford the next thing. I have met many people abroad with great jobs who hate their life. It's really important to have perspective and to know why you are doing something and in my opinion the only way to do that is to gain life experience, to explore and to meet lots of people and find out about their lives. Australia is a very sheltered community and because of that can be very boring. If you are uninspired by what you find here I heartily recommend travelling and I do not regret it for a second.

Couldn’t agree more. If you can spend the first few years of your twenties building profitable skills, gaining knowledge in a sustainable field, and developing a strategy around your finances, your career will start to take care of itself from then on. I think the key is having a few ‘sex drugs & rock and roll’ experiences sprinkled in between - it won’t be enough to derail you, but it gives you a handful of experiences you value & remember more than if you were doing it every weekend. Also a huge thing is just forget about outside approval, or if you’re going to seek it, seek it from people you aspire to be like. Not your mates. Half of them won’t even be around in a few years anyway.

Had a good opportunity to work FIFO for 8 weeks when I was 17. Ended up being kept on full time. I was in the mindset at the age of 21 that I want to be home more (drinking and partying) The moment I moved jobs (I now work in a warehouse, not the best but okay and pays the bills) the people I would party with, people I grew up with and went to school with, I have realised are not actually mates….. Most people in life are using selfish assholes. I’ve turned the focus back towards what I want for myself. I’m 22. Going to start an apprenticeship. I have learned to be okay within myself without other people. Working on yourself and your passions gets you places. Trying to please people doesnt. I’m more social now than ever as I started learning to play musical instruments and I get on with the people I work with. Point is. “Fitting in” is the biggest joke in society…. Set yourself up and don’t worry what other people say or think. They will be jealous when they see what you accomplish on your lonesome.

Defo one of the more important realisations you need when you’re young. But having that delayed gratification is something that’s not easy to bear for sure. That’s why you’ve got to make sure it’s something that truly means something to you. Being 25 just out of uni and I’d started fairly early for my age (given that I had to serve 2 years mandatory national service when I was 18 so I’d already be lagging compared to those who didn’t e.g. the girls in my country) but I’ve been working on what’s meaningful in my life (music production and finance) and that grind has not only began bearing the fruits (now got a job in banking and am getting better at making music lol) it’s also gotten me to become a naturally more productive person. Although I don’t agree entirely that you shouldn’t enjoy the moment while it’s there just don’t get too encapsulated by it. Moderation is fine you’ve just got to know what you’re sacrificing for that momentary benefit. Didn’t spend ALOT my time partying in uni but I did every once in awhile which still gives me that 5% remorse but then I look at friends my age who’d been on this grind for 10 years and they’re already doing what they love. Basically got the rest of their lives to enjoy.

Skill talk is correct, I would use the cliche the best investment you can make is in yourself, education, acquiring skills, maintaining your health and building relationships (personal and professional). I would also like to add - Wrap it before you tap it - unplanned kids and STDs will fuck you up Learn the basics of finance and banking, use credit cards wisely and to your advantage. Never get a personal loan for anything. Have an emergency fund for life’s unexpected problems. Work hard and save for the things you want. If you aren’t that great at anything and you find yourself in a medium wage job, find a side hustle or invest your free time into doing something that will improve your life and broaden your options. If you’re lucky enough to have good family and friends, ask them for advice or at least open up your mind to what they are trying to say when they are offering advice you never asked for.

This has been perfect timing for me (I realise these vids of yours get that *a lot* ); despite being my most productive year since leaving school, there's a constant nagging thought saying "this still isn't enough, you need to be doing more", even though I'm only 23 and started really hammering into the skill I want to be my career at the beginning of the year when I was 22, I still feel like I started far too late to actually be at an acceptable level of skill at an acceptable time, so I'm glad to know that that's a good thing 😅

If you have the right attitude towards learning and getting better at something you can start any time. Paradoxically if you have those traits you won't have wasted your 20s anyway. Lots of people transition careers mid-life and get good.

It's perfectly fine to not know what you want to do with your life. You are extremely young. Just because society deems you an adult does not mean your brain is wired at it's full development. Recent studies have shown that humans do not fully hit adult maturity within the brain until they turn 30 years old. My 20s (and you'll find, most 20 year olds) experience their 20s just as chaotic and hard to manage as their teens. I encourage you to ask anyone in their 30s how difficult their 20's was to navigate in comparison to their 30s. The experience of them are like night and day. Just dont put pressure on yourself, everyone in their 20s are struggling big time, it's just that nobody has the humility or vulnerability to admit it to eachother.

There are times where I think I should be further along than where I am now. I'm 30, have a couple of degrees in the field I enjoy, have worked in the field I enjoy for a number of years, and I make decent money albeit not as much as I feel I need to get to where I want to get in life financially. Then I also remember that I did live life in my 20s; had some amazing experiences, learnt a lot about myself, had a few regrettable Sunday mornings waking up and looking at my bank balance after a night on the piss; but I think things have turned out well. I'm pretty well-rounded, have a solid skillset and I enjoy life. And maybe that's okay. Maybe I don't need to be making $500,000 a year if it means I have a good work/life balance and I'm generally living a charmed life.

I did a screenwriting course and all of these 40 year old's were complaining about writing a 5 minute script. Age does not equal talent or efficiency. You don't turn 30 and become talented. You have to put in the work and your 20's is the time to do it.

Also all of the art and culture that has arisen from people who are down and out, addicted, party like no tomorrow, etc. Why is it that we all love the songs, poems, movies, books etc. that have come out of these circumstances? Do we envy these people? Morbid fascination? Is it a romanticisation because the lives of people who constantly plan for the future spend little time in the present and are constantly trying to set-up a comfort zone instead of answering to deeper, more primeval questions and that is super boring? Some people's comfort is another's challenge I suppose. Tell me why Jordy!

It is mostly the ideal to get that headstart at the times described, but you can still knuckle down at other ages to develop skills. Also, if some people do have a strong urge to "party", there may be healthier and more productive ways to meet that need. Eg, back in the era of nightclubs some people really just wanted to be dressing up and dancing, so subjected themselves to the drinking and sex culture when a dance class or social group would have been more satisfying, adding to the rest of their life rather than destroying it.
