What are you starting to love more as you get older?- Grapevine

Fellow Grapeviners, can you please knock some sense into me?
For context, I've got a good-ish job that I think pays me easy money. i started working 5 months ago. lately, I'm feeling worthless and really thinking about quitting my job and do something impactful or crazy or financially irresponsible.

Turned 21 today, feeling really, really old

Account Manager

Age is a very controversial topic (which I find surprising, though I kinda understand why).

Many people crib about growing up, and often remain too deep in the nostalgia of their youth - forever wishing to go back.

Personally, I like growing older. I can see myself having improved significantly from how naïve I used to be.

I’m not looking forward to creaky bones, degrading brain capacity and the eventual downfall of human civilisation (just speculating).
But I feel that aging - and eventually dying - is what gives any sense of progression and conclusion to life.

Would appreciate perspectives from others on Grapevine. What do you guys think? :)

(Also, sorry if I ruined your day by randomly reminding you that you’re ageing. 🥲)

What really messes you up as you grow older?

I have been a little caught up with numerous things in my life lately and have finally found some free time to open up myself to new experiences. 

I had a wishlist of shows and movies that I wanted to watch but as soon as I start watching them, I get bored and feel like turning it off. 

No, its not the content
No, its not the genre
No, its not the actors
No, its not the taste either

This is pretty ironic as considering the fact that I have spent a fair share of my youth chasing academics and career, my heart had always craved for life experiences. I had to let go of the woman I loved simply because I was too focussed on my JEE. I wont be able to forgive myself for that EVER. It almost felt like I had lost a limb, without which , I would be rendered disfunctional. Thats a separate story tho.

Nothing excites me (yep nothing)
Nothing amuses me 
Nothing feels lively

I have no clue where my life is headed

I understand that as we age, our triggers of happiness change. I have put concious efforts into knowing what those new triggers are. But I cant find any plausible sources of happiness.

I am performing pretty well with my career.
Even got a double digit hike.
But didnt feel that kick of joy.

Have I approached a dead end?

Losing Interest In New Things

Title says it all. Most women I encounter these days like to get blackout drunk for some reason. 

Have had to escort quite a few to their homes occasionally too. 

Can't figure out why though, rarely seeing responsible drinkers in my circle and on dating apps. They're either completely teetotallers or heavy drinkers. Rarely in the middle.

Anybody else seeing this too?

Welcome to Personal Finance's Private Community

DINKs, (dual income no kids) have been gaining traction a lot lately. I want to know from the members of gravevine, what are their views on being a DINK couple or a DINKWAD( double income no kids with a dog). From financial prospects like having a huge disposable income to emotional aspects like not having a legacy or going against custom Indian tradition. Do share your thoughts 🤔💭

What are your thoughts about being DINKS?

We are a DINK couple (live-in, will get married soon) and absolutely no plans to have kids. Maybe be a DINKWAD someday by adopting an indie. Also no plans to buy a home or spend on our marriage. This is not a financial decision (both of us are doing decently well in our careers) but we don't want to have a child knowing how nothing around is improving and we don't want to sacrifice the best years of our lives by doing this. We are building a large corpus to be financially independent and travel without any financial restrictions.

or There's also the "show me your friends and I'll show you your future" derivative.

And I don't have friends who share my vision in life. They are great friends, no doubt.
Female friends have married, left work or working in one company for stability. 
Male friends are working but not ambitious on money (nothing wrong, it is just how I view it)

I'm not unhappy, but I would appreciate being surrounded by people who have the zeal to make life bet.ter

Friendships after an age

What's one thing that you look upto with curiosity, even now, like you used to do in your childhood.


It could be playing Sunday matches, meeting someone special, going to a special place, it could be anything, where the interest didn't fade away with time and responsibilities.

Life Advice for Big 4

As I'm entering a new stage of life, I'm starting to reevaluate my career priorities. In my 20s, I was all about climbing the ladder and chasing prestige. Now, I'm more focused on finding work that aligns with my values and allows for a balanced lifestyle. 

Have any of you gone through a similar shift? How did it change your career trajectory? And how do you define success for yourself now versus when you first started out?

Redefining success: How have your career priorities shifted as you've grown older?

Man, this hits home. I used to be all about the fancy title and corner office. Pulled 80-hour weeks, missed family events, the whole rat race thing.

Then my dad got sick last year. Spent a lot of time in hospitals, thinking about what really matters. Realized I couldn't remember the last time I took a real vacation or had dinner with my kids without checking emails.

Ended up taking a step back at work. Less pay, but more flexibility. You know what? I don't miss the stress. Sure, the ego took a hit at first, but I'm actually enjoying work now. Plus, I'm finally learning my kids' friends' names!

Success for me now? It's about having time for the people I love and work that doesn't make me dread Mondays. Still figuring it out, but dekhte hain baaki :)
