Girlfriend is a go getter, I’m more laid back, help?

2019-11-19 4:40 am
My girlfriend who is 22 is a go getter, self employed and motivated. She has big goals and looks like she will work her *** off to achieve them. It’s just naturally in her and she’s started off since she was young.

I’m 26, more laid back and not so motivated. My best friend is very similar to my girlfriend and he’s been trying to motivate me to do this business with him and earn more money and have a better life in the future. I’ve jumped on board and now I’m doing the business with him. 

I’m comparing myself to my girlfriend, and I feel like I’m behind in life.
I’m 4 and a half years older than her and I should really have my life sorted out but really I’m quite behind. She owns a house from the age of 21, she’s planning to start saving to buy her second house, and eventually wants to get a third so she can rent them all out and have good income coming in.

I feel like I hate myself because it’s naturally not in me and she’s got that drive in her whereas I don’t although I am now trying my hardest but I sometimes feel it’s not good enough.

I eventually want to buy a house and the idea of renting it out sounds appealing to me, but I find it a struggle because I need support and direction whereas she just knows what she’s doing.

How can I feel better about this? I also want our relationship to work well but this is my worry at the moment and I’m concerned it might get worse later if I don’t seriously pull up my weight but I’m struggling to find out how to?

Think about what makes you happy/sad, and want to change, that is a drive. Like me, I’m a vegetarian, but from where I live, there isn’t much people who would even try to understand what it is. So for me, maybe I could start a vegan restaurant, or maybe I could see ways to make more people care about animals or to see what their actions do to others.

Be artistic ?

Seriously though, in life if someone is only with you for what you can earn then they aren’t worth much. Real people value the person above anything else, the right person would support you if you never worked again. If they love you they love you. Plan to be the house husband, child carer. That’s what I do and private teaching on the side, but my wife earns so much money there isn’t any point me working. I’m sure you do fine

Is there something she isn’t so good at that you can support her in

seeing a real go getter does make us want more out of life...its because you see her with a house and a job and you think that you can get there too...but unless you are already well off to do its not gonna happen very easily..not even hardly...if she had a house at 21 i gurantee you it had nothing to do with her and her finances alone
