I heard the term information paralysis the other day and realized that it describes me perfectly . I get so overwhelmed with new information on something I might want to actually learn that I just stop trying to learn it. I’m pushing 50 I have no savings, live paycheck to paycheck and I see these young adults 30 years younger just making bank investing and AI day trading and would love to try it, I just can’t start because I get overwhelmed on stuff I know nothing about.

My memory is shit I have to read stuff over and over ago before it clicks which builds the frustration

I loved computers as a kid in the late 80s unfortunately everyone in my life, parents teachers said nobody will ever make a living so I just lost touch with that part of me. I’m still a gamer but as far as operating computers well, webpages etc. or how any of it operates I don’t have a clue. I didn’t see a webpage until the day before I graduated highschool
