1. 24 is not too late. I didn&#x27;t get much done in my 20s.
2. With all due respect to the girlfriend of 8 years, you are probably better off breaking up now. Marrying the high school sweetheart has a low probability of success.
3. Get a job. I would suggest starting to take classes at a community college to see what interests you.
4. Make sure that you get exercise and sunlight.
5. If you have the time, volunteer. Cook or serve at a soup kitchen, tutor, it hardly matters. You will be doing something useful for people who are worse off.
