You should see Gerbs. It's way more indepth than my E46 Cost of Ownership spreadsheet - and that was a fun sheet LOL
Gerbs - let's go swing. Sounds like you need a break.
One of the learning pains in my quarter life crisis is like Gerbs mentioned, you need money to have fun hobbies. Having the quote on quote, well rounded individual lifestyle, requires a fuckton of liquid assets. To echo his sentiment and to outline specifically how social media affects people, by mid-20s you now have the pressure to live that romantized tiktok lifestyle everyday - gym, eat well, have a nice body, hang out with attractive people, party, do some kind of eccentric sport (cycling/golf is in rn), have a nice car, have a nice place to flex.
It's all so stupid but it feels like you have to achieve all that to just be on par with everyone else. Sometimes I think I'd also feel happier to have just moved out and rented, instead of being financially responsible and responsible as the eldest son, to mortgage a SFH for the family. Or maybe if I had financed a 10 year old M3 instead of a Type R.
Idk about Gerbs, but for most of everyone's life you're told what to do, when to do it, how to do it - you're given a road map. Not only that, you're also made to believe you're young, it'll get easier when you're older. I don't think it gets easier, you just have different battles to fight.
