Did you know that developing sound financial habits is best done in your 20s? Actually, you can avoid needless debt and financial worries later in life by developing sound financial practices in your 20s.

Even though everyone tells you in your 20s that you still have a lot of life ahead of you and that you are still young, the significance of the financial choices you make in your twenties should not be undervalued. Making wise financial decisions in your early years can have a significant impact on how well your finances work out in the future.

Making a few wise decisions and making calculated financial sacrifices in your twenties might actually provide you with the means to live an even higher-quality life later on. You can avoid needless debt, save money for the things that are essential to you, and accumulate a fortune in the future by learning how to budget, invest, and form sound spending and saving habits when you're in your 20s.

The OP did all these and more; she's completely well off financially, her car is paid off, she has absolutely no debt, and she can afford the life she lives. The OP also has a significant amount of money in savings and does a lot of trading on the side.

However, the OP's boyfriend does not have a lot of free time in his job and isn't as financially stable as the OP. He says the OP's not doing anything with her life, and she doesn't like that.

Here's the headline

The OP added this detail in the comments section

I appreciate how ambitious he is and I will be supportive of him in who he wants to accomplish.
