Question:
I have a 20 year son who is a straight A college sophomore. He's majoring in Accounting and wants to go to law to be a tax attorney. He does not party, drink, go out a lot, etc like most people his age. He works as a waitor for tips and enjoys that a lot. He is, in my opionion, obsessed with investing, realestate, stock market. That's all he talks about to me and his father. He has some friends who are great people but it appears that that's what he wants to talk about to them and I think they get sick of hearing it. He will be sucessful I'm sure but is so lonely now. He is way mature than most 20 year olds and complains to me about the things that they talk about. His interests are just so different. He's going to a jr. college now and will be at a university next fall so I'm hoping he'll meet some other people who share the same interest. It's mostly on the weeks that he is lonely. During the week he seems okay. He loves all of his classes. Any advice?
Answer:
HE'LL FIND SOME FRIENDS FROM SCHOOL OR CLUBS THAT HE JOINS AT SCHOOL. HE'S GOING TO BE OK. ON WEEKENDS HE COULD DO SOME VOLUNTEER WORK OF SOME KIND AND MEET MORE PEOPLE. EVEN AT CHURCH.
dev: Your son is lonely by choice. He has a love affair with $ like billions do on the planet. Money will always take a front seat to people with this guy and that translates into you too ! This will prove out later, in life. Plainly, his value system is in need of adjustment.
