Is it worth spending your 20's:

1. Enjoying youth
2. Working your ass off

I did/do both, I don't consider them mutually exclusive. I think doing nothing but partying will mean you end up one of those rainbow hippie street kids you see downtown, doing nothing but working makes you an Asian and I patently reject both of these outcomes.

Work your ass off until you're 25/26, enjoy yourself from 27 - 32/33, have kids and work your ass off again to provide for them in the future

work your ass off. Life will look a lot brighter in your mid thirties

do both

Do both.

It is the hours spent being stoned watching TV-series that are wasted. There is a time and place for everything.

Also, stay away from shit relationships. If you are NEET during your teens, anyone that throws their heart on you when you reach your 20s, you probably want to hang on to. Constantly dump and upgrade.

I did 1. and had a wild carefree sexy existence and recommend you do the same.

however, i had a loooonger climb with a lot of poverty as a result

Work like fuck, get rich or die trying

Everyone i know who did both where able to because they did good in highschool, got a scholarship, and didnt have to worry about maintaining a job while in college to pay for rent and food.

I mostly just work and school (since i was a shit student in HS) but im not full asian i occasionally go to parties. Will graduate with a degree in compsci in fall.

If I could go back to my early 20s I would work harder AND play harder.

I would definitely have started saving regularly, even if just a small amount monthly.
