When you don't have to worry about paying off a mortgage or supporting anyone, you can invest maximum time and energy to achieve your goals.

In fact, after your 30th birthday, you can still pursue your goals, but it will be more difficult. There are many external factors that influence both your time and your decisions. Therefore, if you want to achieve success early and not regret your younger years later, you need to remember the following 5 things when you are in your 20s, before you have children and a house, according to Medium:

You will never have as much free time as you did when you were single in your 20s.

Apart from studying and working up to 8 hours a day, the rest of the time is yours and you can use it as you wish.

When you don’t have kids, or even a boyfriend, you have a ton of time on your hands, and it’s important to use it wisely. Many people waste this resource.

Figure out what you really want and use your time to pursue it. If time is your most valuable asset, your 20s are not to be wasted.

You have the right to be selfish.

You absolutely have the choice not to have kids or buy a house in your 20s.

Buying a home at a young age means your finances will be stretched and stretched. You will always have to pay a bill whether you like it or not. Having children means your time and attention will be focused on them.

When you don’t have those constraints, besides studying or working, you are free to explore and work. You have complete control over your life and only have to answer your own questions. Cherish and take advantage of that.

You can take risks

When you're not constrained by debt and don't have to take care of anyone, you're freer to take risks.

Carefully assess your situation and determine the worst case scenario if you take that risk and it fails. Could you lose all your money? But remember, money can be earned and accumulated. Could you lose time? Sure - so make sure you learn something valuable in the process, whether you succeed or not.

Take a hard look at the prospects. What's the best thing that could happen if you took that risk and succeeded? Could starting a business help you achieve financial freedom? Could you enrich your life by traveling the world? Could changing jobs lead to a new opportunity? You've probably heard the saying, "The bigger the risk, the bigger the reward." This is often true. Plus, in your 20s, the stakes are small, and it's riskier to stand still and do nothing.

You can work harder than ever before.

Most goals require time and effort. Using your time effectively and doing your best requires discipline. When you have discipline when you have free time, miracles happen.

Without too many things to worry about, you can focus on working harder in these youthful years.

If your goal is to get promoted, work harder, longer, and with greater focus. If your goal is to start your own business, give it your all. If your goal is to travel, work hard to save up the money to do so. Turn off the TV and social media and get to work.

You can decide what you want to do

When you are in school, your parents, the government, and the education system often decide what you do every day. When you are in your 20s, you are the one making your own decisions.

This freedom can be a blessing or a curse. Without direction and purpose, it is easy to get lost. Therefore, it is extremely important to look back at what you are doing and ask the question "why"?

Take action instead of wishing. Don't "wish I had a better job" but "work for a better job".

Often, we drift through life, doing what others expect us to do or what everyone else does. You are the one who lives your life, not your parents, friends, bosses, co-workers, relatives or strangers.
