I didn't learn to think till i was 30 and didn't get good at it till 35. Now as I approach 75 I am starting to get the hang of it. Also money is a great thing but the only true currency is time. How you invest and spend that, determines if you have a rich life.

[archimedes_espinosa]

I hope this dude works out. It’s one thing to make decisions based on finance and an entirely different thing to make decisions based on a dude. It’s clear that you’re at a place where having a very serious relationship and eventually having kids is the main thing you want right now and if he doesn’t have the same wants or he’s not clear on what he wants, he won’t work. Dating someone below your pay grade is about as risky as making a decision to live abroad buying and not renting when there’s so many risks involved of getting taken advantage of by the partner. And if you are building your “tribe” with people through him and not individuals you’ve built organically and separately, those people you met through him will always be more on his side and have his back and keep his secrets. Put yourself first and your money second and always observe the behavior of those around you and how they intend to treat both you and your money.

You reminded me of me when I was in my 30s. I literally thought my life was over. LOL. I am 67 now. I love being over 60 because I don't have that impulsivity anymore. As I became older, I appreciated my life journey, all its ups and downs. My life decisions and choices are no one's business but mine, and I don't care what people think or think I should have done. You are an accomplished young woman. Do whatever you need to do for yourself.

save yall 30 minutes. Ai summary

According to the video, it is a life update by Youtuber Rose Han. In the video, Rose shares three major life updates: she is moving from Mexico City to LA, she is writing a book about personal finance, and she is struggling with imposter syndrome.

Rose decided to move to LA because her boyfriend lives there and she wants to be in a place where she can root down for the long term. She previously thought Mexico City would be her long-term home, but her plans changed when she met her boyfriend.

Rose says that writing a book is the hardest thing she has ever done because of imposter syndrome. She feels like she is qualified to write the book because it will help people but still doubts herself.

[Wiisx]

Many people don't even have the chance to choose what to do next in life, they are either too scared of it or are totally clueless about it (or maybe they just can't as much as they'd love to) Having so many alternatives to move forward in life like you have might be overwhelming, but it's also a blessing to be able to choose. You'll do great no matter what ❤

[Mary-Mar]

You said, I'm 35, I'm young, I can't beleive im thinking about kids she family, and I laughed out loud. This is the time to think about that. I'm 42 and I feel like I was 35 yesterday! Your mid to late 30s goes faster than you think it will. Live your life. Its ok to change your mind. We are living so much longer with so many more opportunities and ways to live life than any other time before. You gotta just make a decision and live it out! Life is risky....beautiful, heartbreaking, challenging, and full of joy and surprises. You've learned SO much by the time your 35. That's amazing! You're going to being so much wisdom to this next phase of your life! I know you can write your book. You have so much knowledge from your life experiences. Good luck, but I don't think you really need it. You got this! ❤

I lived in San Diego for most of my life and LA for four years. Its crazy to live in LA, if your not there to be part of certain scene.Unless its the film community, or real estate or owning a business, I wouldn't live there. San Diego has everything LA has, beaches, community and the best paying jobs and its way more family oriented than LA. LA is a place you get in and then get out, if you don't for some reason make it, in whatever field your in. Too much crime, traffic, homelessness and the beaches are dangerous in many ways. Never again. UTC/Lajolla area has everything you want and has a huge Asian community. Most of my friends in the Mira Mesa and UTC area where Korean and Filipino. Also this life change is mostly centered around your new romantic partner. Your plans always change once your in a relationship. I think one or two years in LA will change your mind and youll be back to missing Mexico city. Keep your place in Mexico city and live in LA for a year

[SpeedbirdHeavy]

I'm in my sixties and have never lost that desire to move around and have adventures. Never wanted a family or fixed friends, both of which I find terrifying because of the loss of freedom that goes with them. Just shows we're all different, the important thing is to follow your gut and do what's right for you. Not what other people think is right for you.

[kathleenhunt]

OK, no one asked, but please consider your fertility if you think you'll want kids. I had my first at 35 and was totally overwhelmed with parenthood, then had my second at 39. Big gap. I wanted a third, but marriage problems prevented that. My point is, time slips by very quickly. Plenty of people I knew when having kids, same age as me, were having serious fertility problems. Yes, there are options like IVF, but it all can take a lot of time. Not to say you'll face any of this, but I think it's important to factor age into a "maybe kids" scenario. Best of luck with it all! And the quote is: "Life is what happens when you're making *other* plans." I think it was John Lennon who said that...

[clouds]

Recently 38 here. Same feelings. Traveled a ton in my 20s and early 30s and eventually I realized nothing matters more to me than my relationships, which take time to cultivate. I still love traveling but nothing beats having those social connections.

[hermburgler]

wow, i did not expect you to get this raw and real, it's so different and refreshing to hear a finance creator talk about their failures with such honesty and heart, and most of all, share how unsure you are of your path ahead. it really feels like you're one of us. Good luck in LA!

[chrisgillis]

Rose, you have the right thinking. Take my word for it, you are 35 today and before you know it you will be in your 60s. Please keep thinking ahead and planning.

[zzanatos]

The biggest problem with having a tribe is that everyone in the group eventually gets pulled away - by their career, spouse, kids, relatives, desire for adventure/travel, etc., etc. I was in the military for 20 years and was always moving around - or my friends were always moving around. When I got out and started a second career at age 38, my new friends were 100 percent focused on launching businesses, starting families, raising kids, etc. Now I'm in my 50s and still a "lone wolf."

[VanG]

I started having kids at 22. Lived in California my whole life. I have 5 kids now. People put too much worry on affording kids then they miss their chance. I am a nurse and my husband is an HVAC technician. We didn't start off that way though. We just took life as it goes and everything falls into place. We moved around because I don't believe I was meant to stay in one place forever. You outgrow it and it gets boring. We live comfortably now. Moved to Texas and we are all happier here. Don't worry. Just keep making smart choices. It will be fine.

[santarosa]

Rose, I’m 61 and finally financially free. In California no less. However I chose to work a little because it gives me purpose and connectivity to the world around me. You are so young and having to ‘work again like normal people’ will ground you. You can reach your 5 mil by 60 and still have a rich life for 30 more years. Enjoy friends, new family, and fingers crossed this new guy works out. You deserve someone solid! Remember: it’s the journey, not the destination.

[fabbycherry]

Rose you are so grounded and real and that’s why we trust you! Wishing you the best! I’m loving the newsletter btw, highly recommend everyone signing up for it 💌

[mitzybenny]

I've been watching your videos for years!. You are a source of inspiration and a vault of personal finance knowledge. It's obvious that you are at a cross roads on how you want to spend your future. There are things you want to leave behind and things you want to take with you in the next chapter of your life. It sounds like you are ready to not only turn the page on your nomadic days, but to actually write a new book (literally and metaphorically) on the next phase of your life. I became F.I. in my 50s. I recall specific cross roads where I had to make difficult decisions. Looking back I'm so glad that I took the difficult, riskier roads rather than to stay in my comfort zone. I know you'll make the right decisions because having listened to you all this time, you have the tendency to step up and face the challenges that take you to the next level 🐯🐎

[chloe]

Rose I relate so much to this! Before meeting my partner I was focused on being more 'digital nomad' and keeping spending as low as possible, but then craved roots and connection and community. We're so excited to be buying in our home country next to the coast, and really building community! We are always growing and changes, and so our goals and mindsets do too!

[WellBehavedWallet]

That's the beauty of life: we're able to grow and change. I met my now husband when I was 35. Now I'm 41, we're married and living in Manhattan with a child and the happiest (and most tired!) we've ever been. I hope all your dreams come true, Rose!

[Asiaguydude]

Just remember … a good boyfriend doesn’t necessarily make a good husband. Make your decision with bun boy within two years. If he’s not the one who will be a great parent to your kids, move on. You don’t have as much time as you think.
