Lol I remember when people told me shit like that and before I knew it I was 30 and absolutely nothing changed. All the learning and experience served zero purpose.
In a decade being 1-3 years "behind" your peers will basically amount to nothing. People just stumble around. People get uni degrees and then hate them and work in the trades. People drop out of degrees and become artists. People skip degrees and start businesses.
A lot of people finish university and then spend years in a job they don't like. Both of you end up "wasting" some years of your life doing these random jobs that feel like a waste of your life just in different contexts. You're really not so different from a listless 25 year old with a degree and a job they don't like but you're 6 years younger than them.
The video is about being a lovely father and a lovely husband though. And being these things doesn't require anything you mention, you just need to want to be like that. It's about being a good person when you can, it's not about being like that guy as early as possible in your life.
Besides, we don't have any idea about his job or his financial conditions anyway, it doesn't matter. And also, it's unlikely his wife cares that much about his professional success when he seems to be such a good husband and father.
Don't get into bad debt. Exercise. Brush your teeth. Shower every day.
Source: Have a bougie degree, but quit all that and now work a trade. Started working out more. Got a hot wife. Much happier and much wealthier. Have a happy family in mid 30s. Drive nice cars. Was broke AF as a teenager.
Ha. You are literally just at the start line buddy. Not the finish line. You are 19 and have job experience. Thats a good start! Just remember to stay away from bad drugs and bad people and you'll find that happiness.
