I felt that way till I was about 40. Even when I finally reached a million dollars I thought I'd feel like i had accomplished something. But then I was just another guy with a million dollars. After that I started viewing life differently. I stopped looking at life like something to be conquered or a dragon to be slayed. There's a line from the movie "Blow". Where George Jung's father tells him, "that money isn't real". And after George is in prison for a leght prison term he writes to his father and says he finally understands what he was trying to say.

At some point in life you wake up and realize you're 1 person of 8 billion on the 3rd planet circling a star in a galaxy with a 100 thousand stars. In a universe of 2 trillion galaxies. Yet you are unique. There has been you before and there NEVER will be again. When you look at these two factors your realize how insignificant yet precious you are. You can use your time here for something positive by touching lives. Lives that will touch other lives and your impact can potentially ripple for generations. Or you can worry about accumulation of things that a few years after you're dead no one will remember, or care.

You're looking for reasons to be unhappy. And finding them all over the place. Yes, your life is incredibly common. Few people go through life achieving every major goal on their terms, on their timeline. That's not how it works for most people. Make the most of the opportunities that present themselves when they present themselves.

also 24 and i dont have have anything to show for in life, and haven't accomplished anything remotely worthwile. my life doesn't look at all to what i'd thought it would be when i was a teen. i'm very behind everyone my age studying-job wise, i'm not financially independent, i'm not cuffed, i still live like a 19yo, my life hasn't been at all exceptional and if anything has been shitty. i'm a failure of an adult and a person in general

Not so much anymore, but it took many years to get to this point.

If getting married isn't accomplishing something you are happy with then I don't know what will make you happy... Sounds like you need therapy more than anything else.
