I know that many of the myLotters are already successful in life. I'm still in my mid-20s and I admit that I'm really struggling. I have a full-time job but my earnings are not enough to cover all our needs. I do read self-help books to have some enlightenment and it really helps! Now, I hope that you would be able to give me some advice to be successful in most areas in life. Thank you in advance!

I'm still young like you. My life style is living with passion. I am working as full time job. If you don't like your job, find another one that interests you. You really feel excited at you job. Everything is possible with passion.

I am a CPA and working as an accountant. Yes, you're right about myLot. How about you? What do you do for a living?

I was fortunate enough to be able to retire early. First let me say that I believe that you are in a great profession for long term success. If you love what you do, the money will eventually come. I believe that success in life is far more important than work place success. After all, when someone is on their deathbed, one rarely says that they regret that they didn't work more! What they regret is that they didn't do all of the things that they dreamed about doing. So, my advice to you is to chase your dreams, live your passions and squeeze every single drop out of life that you can. Life truly is too short. Best of luck to you.

Well i am also in my 20s and a little closer to 30 but anyways i remember struggling alot when i was in my mid 20s but i remember being unemployed and only having one or two bills then but now that i have graduated college its ridiculous the amount of bills i pay per month. Right now without my boyfriend working and him only bringing in 1500 a month times are hard because i make that as well per month but it barely covers all of are bills and then are groceries per month and we arent even living on our own yet. Times are hard but i work a full time job and try to make any extra cash i can online and i know every little bit helps but with no car payments i think im doing pretty good now. Its hard to pay things but im doing ok. Just keep trying ot make as much as you can online and stay active on ehre and do around 50 responses a day and you can actually get a dollar a day on here if you try your hardest and stay active on here daily.

Gosh, I wish those self - help books can help all of us out of the misery in life. But the fact is, not all of them really give the guidance we need. I myself on my 30s, and I am still struggling too. I wish that I knew what I am doing right now, and I wish that I can do much better tomorrow, and the day after. I am striving every single day.

Hello sethalex, I'm also in my 20s. I just wanted to be independent and give something back to my parents for their hardwork and sacrifice. There were also times in my life I felt very down and losing self-esteem. Now, I don't have work and trying to earn doing online stuffs like mylot. You just have to remain positive and always keep pushing. I hope I get a big break in the future.

Hi sethalex. Welcome to myLot! FYI, not all myLotters are successful. I'm still not successful. I'm still not on the top but I'm on my way. I'm still 18. I'm working full-time online. My Dad just quit on his job and just trying start a new chapter of his life. I gave my parents a little capital (from my salary) so they could start a new small business. I guess, just seeing them happy is one of my great achievement. Tips? I dunno if I have any.. But, just do what makes you happy and work as much as you can but don't forget to give yourself a break!

Hello there sethalex! I'm also in my mid-20s. I'm also struggling to be successful in my life. Like what you've did, I read some self-help books and I read some articles in the internet. As you've said that your earnings is not enough right? Have you tried to monitor your expenses? Maybe you need some cost-cutting.

it is very good that you have full time job.and it is very interesting to read this that you are working as accountant and still you are unable to fulfill your requirement.please don't mind because in country the person with CPA have very heavy payment.and they are seems very wealthy. just be clam because there is no shortcut to earn money faster. if you want more money then be honest with your work and trying to improve your knowledge about your profession. No doubt you are working in very good field.so wait for your turn.
