At this 21st century, an under 30 years young man without a specific means of a luxury livelihood like his contemporaries is considered a definable failure and a stigma. This is wrong, early successes from peers are though intimidated but one has to learn to imbibe patience and working assiduously hard while allowing destiny have it course. Don't feel intimidated and pressurized into compromising your morals all because your friends are making it big. When you're educated and skilled, it would be very hard for you to be poor.
