I'm 35. Life has turned out differently than I would have expected. But I'm happily married and am currently a stay at home Dad for my amazing 1 year old. It might not be what I expected, but in many ways it's better. I have an incredible wife, son, and dog. We're homeowners. I'm alive. I still get down on myself for letting fear and anxiety overtake my 20s. I probably could have had a successful career if I had my current mentality back then. To be clear, I'm not a stay at home dad because I stutter. It just happened that my wife made more money than I did and it makes sense for our situation. But I undoubtedly let my stuttering affect my job and career aspirations which did affect my money making ability. My advice to anyone would be to embrace your stutter. Make friends with it. It's not something to be ashamed of but something to love
