I totally agree with you man. The problem is purpose, not the stutter. A lot of your motivation is gone because you have money. The same thing happened with me once I started making a little money an...

At age 18 it was the most painful for me as well. But thankfully the biggest fear of growth as well. You can change your life fairly quickly at 18. I'm constantly making videos on YouTube and suc...
