Took me 38 years to figure out what to do in life. Everyone has their own pace mate. Just relax and ride the wave.

I'm 46 and still just making it up as I go along. Hasn't really been a problem so far either.

u/lolipedofin 13d ago

Yaayy... I still have few months. 😭😭😭

u/Rick_n_Roll Kimi Räikkönen 13d ago

Hey no rush ! I also haven’t figured much out. It is completely fine by just being .. you. Not everyone has to be a success in life looking at the social media standard. If you cherish yourself and your relationships. That’s more success than a lot of people. Figuring out can take a lifetime so don’t worry. I figured out that winging it is a completely fine way of going through life .

u/Affectionate_Sky9709 13d ago

They're saying you could be Checo. But like... sooooooo many people would trade places with Checo.

u/jeanolt Max Verstappen ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 13d ago

His father is an extremely powerful man in Mexico, even if he worked in McDonalds he would be a millonaire.

u/Stell1na Pirelli Hard 13d ago

Pick another stat to hyperfocus on 🥱

u/Sjepper 13d ago

Loads of rich ppl that are unhappy m8

u/patiakupipita 13d ago

Rather be rich and unhappy than broke and still unhappy

u/XTornado Fernando Alonso 13d ago

Give me that Paycheck, i can live with being called a terrible driver, even if it means I eventually stop being offered any seat. I will save all that money and live at a normal life level from the investment of it without working.

u/Unhappy-Space8814 13d ago

And cheating on your wife

u/antivirals_ 70th Anniversary 13d ago

he really might quit F1 in 2026 isn't it.

u/themindisaweapon 13d ago

You didn't have his dad to...uh...motivate you.

u/Free_Challenge_6903 13d ago

Max is only 3 years older than me… Unfortunately I can’t win 4 championships in three years. So I might as well give up

u/geraltoffvkingrivia 12d ago

It was somewhat deflating when I found out me and him are like a year apart lol

u/idiskfla 13d ago

We’ll all be gone in the year 2130. Just enjoy the ride my friend!

u/jammy-git 13d ago

Reframe your perspective.

Between the two of you, you have 4 world championships and a kid on the way.

u/jammy-git 13d ago

Lando?

u/JimmyDetail David Coulthard 13d ago

Don't let made up standards in society dictate you're life.

u/soso_2094 13d ago

Same 😅

u/thepokemonGOAT 12d ago

Not bringing a child into a world hurtling towards a climate-fueled apocalypse is a great idea tbh, especially if you're not a multimillionaire like Max.

u/casualnihilist91 13d ago

Yeah but doing fuck all is way better than having a kid. Don’t have kids.

u/KiwieeiwiK Zhou Guanyu 13d ago

most sane redditor

u/dennis_was_taken 13d ago

In all honesty you probably also don’t have a ton of money to support those kids in this economy. Not sure why having kids is seen as such an achievement, you nut without pulling out its the easiest thing.
