Late 20s Career Switch: Am I Financially Doomed? 😰💸

Hey everyone, I'm drowning in anxiety and really need some perspective here. 😔 I made a massive career change in my late 20s after being absolutely miserable at my old job. Sure, I was making 65K and managed to pay off my 50K student loans, but I was dying inside every single day. So I took the leap and switched fields. Now I'm making 35K and starting completely over. The good news? I actually look forward to Mondays now! 😊 But here's what's eating me alive - I feel like I'm SO far behind everyone else my age. I see people talking about having 100K saved by 30, and I'm sitting here with maybe 35K total. I'm terrified I'll be working until I'm 75 just to survive retirement. Did I make a huge mistake choosing happiness over money? Anyone else start over this late and actually make it work? I'm desperate for some hope right now. 🙏 #JobCareer #Career #careerchange
