What's the point of life after 30 if you're still in the same place?

When you're younger you dream of becoming an adult, making money, having a house, etc. But what happens when you hit 30 and NONE of those things have come true for you? I work, but I don't make a lot of money, I can't seem to get a job that pays more than what you would pay a 15-18 year old (Probably my fault for not doing to college I understand) but a lot of the time I sit and wonder "Whats the point!?"...

I have a good GF and we have an apartment together, but I feel bad because she makes more money and has to cover the majority of the expenses..Sometimes I feel like dying would be so much easier than dealing with the constant stress of life, bills, debt, work, and so on with no light at the end of the tunnel. I don't think I could actually kill myself, but I sure do think about it A LOT. I don't know what to do, or who to talk to that won't just judge me or tell me to "keep my head up it will get better" I just want to know if anyone of you went through this, did you get better? and how? Because I feel very lost right now.

Thanks.

    i may not have gone through this as I'm only of the age 16, however i think you might be going through depression. feeling like you want to die is a serious thing. if possible maybe talk to someone you trust, or a doctor if possible. maybe your girlfriend might be able to help you feel better if you were to tell her how you felt. if so none of the things i have mentioned seem possible or not of your liking. accepting your situation can be difficult maybe trying to change things in your life at this present time might help.

    I really hope things work out for you. if things feel there still going down hill id suggest talking to someone like a doctor or close friend/family.

    Everyone is going through that, you are not alone.

    The system is rigged, it won't gone on like this for much longer.
