dawwww I'm so proud of you and your goddamn life improvement metrics! The fact that you've got a Roth and a money market and have an eye on your retirement already is just 10000 gold stars! My only financial advice is to make sure you've got insurance on your money market account that would cover your savings if the bank collapses (as some have worryingly been doing) and as your finances get more complicated or you have specific finance goals financial advisors are actually pretty great. And holy cow the make 20 friends thing is HARD. I feel like once we're out of college and adulting - trying to make friends gets so much harder. All the applause. You're gonna have to change your channel name eventually from Jay's Quarter Life Crisis to Jay has her shit together and is pursuing her joy! Also every time I see OKR I hear OKRA in my head and now I'm thinking about how your pursuing your life of vegetable improvements.
Your financial advice is appreciated! I'll look into insurance! I would hate for all my hard work to go to waste. I know, I wish I counted internet friends in this 20 lol. But It's actually easier to make friends when living in a foreign country, b/c all the foreigners are desperate for someone to talk to. Problem is, I've really focused on being a hermit and making youtube content. But next month, I'm making an active effort for friendships! you're the sweetest! Jay's Quarter Life Joy actually has a nice ring to it. I now have a new aspirational :D And who knows? My retirement could involve becoming a plant mom. The possibilities are endless.🥬
My personal goals this year are pretty sad. I just want to go to my job, play with my two cats, and come home and enjoy my hobbies in my spare time. And try not to die. My bucket list is done, so the simple things make me happy now. Like avoiding my extended family. My adoptive parents are dead, but my step-family I inherited from my father are driving me insane. They're just a bunch of vultures who only come around when they want something. But they want a lot lately. I'll be glad to get back to my boring-but-enjoyable life. Have a wonderful weekend!
I’m sorry your step family is driving you crazy 💕 that sucks! And also a life playing with your cats and enjoying your life sounds lovely. I hope you get lots of time to do those things!
Had a sudden identity crisis on why I don't know why I don't have a life plan with OKRs?? I love planning and it's such a huge part of my professional life and even my career planning but I somehow never thought to apply it for the rest of my personal life? So thanks for this video, will definitely be doing a life plan myself now haha. Making friends as an adult is so challenging, especially when you are moving around. I'm impressed (and intimidated) by your 20 phone numbers goal, as I am currently also navigating the whole friends-as-an-expat-thing. Wishing you many kind and fun people along your journey :)
It's kinda fun to apply it to your personal goals! And I would love to see your personal life plan! that would be so fun! 20 phone numbers is gonna be tough, but I'm hoping next month I'll have more luck, b/c I'll be staying in a hostel. I've been in airbnbs for the past couple months, which is nice to have my own space, but it does make socializing waaay harder. How are you able to make friends while in Albania?? I need tips!
@@my0.25lifecrisis A strategy that always works for me is I look for an extrovert who is open to introvert adoption 😂 they are usually always up for hanging out or have plans you can tag along to and they introduce you to tons of new people!
I can't believe I missed so many of your videos! Lovely to hear about your goals and how much you've been travelling! Good for you! And your friendship goal is fascinating haha I'm like 'as little as possible' is my goal 💀 good luck with the short stories! Or more like...how did it go as we're Jan 2024? And yes work as little as possible is wonderful haha let me know how it goes! I'll join you!
oh plz! I missed sooo many of your videos too! But you may see me lurking more in your comments section this year! lol yeah, I'm usually in a "no new friends! I have enough friends!" mood, but w/ traveling, I was starting to feel lonely. And I wanted to live to the fullest and expeience as much as I can ... which meant expanding my social circle xD The short stories did not work out! BUT I am happy w/ my progress on nano-wrimo. Ugh, 2024 jay has big ambitions for writing this year, and now it is indeed her problem to deal with. We'll see how it goes! Do you have any writing goals for this year? Or are those future camila problems tambien? ;D
@@my0.25lifecrisis haha a good question. I'm starting to write my PhD thesis this year, sooo fiction writing might take a backseat. But, I might find it a good distraction/procrastination to do a little fiction writing in between all that!
