At what stage in life would you expect a man to be at 25 ?

I don't wanna fall so hard into this cliche of age doesn't matter. Age does matter. You wanna be sharp you gotta conquer the world before you're daydreaming about donuts on the way to work. But you have some time to make things work. You don't need to build an empire just yet or see it forever escape from your grasp. You don't have to marry a girl just yet or raise kids just yet. You figure yourself out at 25. Then you can conquer the world up to and through your 30s or you can be bum just surviving.

So you’d say your in the experiencing and learning stage more then anything I have a decent amount of money saved now I’m trying to figure out how to find my purpose but also feel slightly behind not being able to drive bothers me that feels like the biggest thing I think not sure

And if you wanna party, no prob. 25. Who gives a shit. That's awesome. But don't revolve your life around it or you become like all the people I've known who did that. They never gave themselves room for something more, and you start feeling like a freak at 30s+ in a nightclub. I actually feel that still even though I have a real career. But some of my friends who partied and revolved their lives around it don't have anything else. And that's the worst if you don't have anything else.

You have to build a community with the money you saved, or a family as an entry-point to that as I see it. We can do the most complex jobs but there is nature beckoning us. We want to be in family, community. You find one that fits you and that is where you find your place in society -- as part of a community.

It will take me 5 years to reach 25. Till then, i would like to have at least 3 things 1. Sufficient discipline and good habits
2. Reason to live and a direction to devote my efforts
3. Money to help my family AND sufficient financial knowledge
