Hi all 🙂
My bf is 33 and really struggling at the moment with feeling like he is behind everyone else. He is saving to buy a house and it’s taking longer than he would like for multiple reasons, and he feels really frustrated with the consequences of this. He feels stuck in his career and like he has met a salary ceiling, but doesn’t want to take a salary cut to take a more junior role in a career that he would enjoy more and has more upwards potential due to feeling like he is too old for doing that at his age.
I have been trying to motivate him to invest in himself now so that he has a fulfilling career in the long term, regardless of the short term sacrifices but I don’t think I’m helping much.
He’s really lost and moody at the moment. Are there any inspirational fiction books or maybe therapy self-help workbooks that you recommend for someone going through this? I hate to see him like this and to be honest it’s gone on now intermittently for years so I want to help him get out of his rut now 🙂
TIA
