Am I wrong to be upset with friend?
Well, I have know my friend for a lil over 3 years now. I think he is a good guy in all. But as a friend I think he should be a lil' more proactive. I mean, he is 27 and now about to finish college. While he does live on his own (sort of). He has had the luxury of his parents paying for school and such.
I have been telling him since the time I have graduated, about two years ago, to start looking for a job or internship before he graduates. He is still working at a retail store. Making about minimum wage. His friends while fun, are all in their late teens and early 20's. Furthermore, I just found out he is going out with a girl that is only 19 years old.
My reasons for being upset is the fact he is going to be 30 soon but he still lives like he is 21. I would like to think we are good friends but it's to the point, that I have kind of stop talking to him. I guess what upsets me is that he seem unmotivated.
What about the girlfriend thing? I think he should look for a girl more closer to his age. Maybe she can straighten him out.
True Michelle. I think I have already done the latter.

You really can't dictate to him what he should be doing with his life. Obviously, your values, goals and ambitions are different from him. You need to decide if there are other attributes he possesses, as well as how good of a person/friend he is, that mitigate he seeming immaturity in other aspects. In other words, what value does he bring to your life? If the lifestyle differences are insurmountable to you, maybe you just need to let the friendship go. Over time, you will find this happens sometimes, where people simply grow apart.

I understand how you are upset, let me tell you something about my best bud. He is 19, he didn't go to college, he is working his *** off, bad wage, no time to hang out and worst, he never listen to me. What should i do? nothing. You can suggest him, but if he doesn't listen, it's his life. Just be there for him, as a friend.
