It sounds like you are being a bit impatient. Most successful people practice delayed gratification in order to achieve their goals. If you spend all your money and all your time on things that don't align with your goals, it will certainly take you longer to achieve them. But as the cliche says, "life is a journey, not a destination". In my 20's (I'm 35 now), I was concerned with things. Now I really don't care about things. I want experiences. Ask yourself the question, "do I want to have things or do things?".
