Talk about pressure? Try being 22 and watching your friends flex their portfolio gains while you're still grinding to hit that magical seven-figure mark in crypto.
The anxiety is real. Every bull run that passes, every memecoin that moons without you, every "I told you so" moment in the group chat. You see teenagers on Twitter bragging about their early entries, and suddenly your whole timeline feels like a race you're losing.
Maybe it's FOMO. Maybe it's ambition. Or maybe it's just this space moving so fast that patience feels like a luxury you can't afford. Either way, the weight of "not making it yet" hits different when you're young and everyone around you seems to be printing money overnight.
Anyone else feeling this, or just me?

Take your time making money; it's a shame to ruin it.
