Just feel like I'm the only one in my circle of friends/family/colleagues/acquaintances who hasn't got life figured out yet. I'm in an entry-level, low paid job, no idea what I'd even want to do to progress, no real qualifications, no idea what I want/should study. Finances all messed up, loads of debt due to series of unemployment. No savings, minimal pension in several different pension plans due to spotty work history. No house, no car, no big assets of any kind. I am married but our relationship is in need of serious fixing at the moment. The only amazing thing I have is my DS but I feel like I haven't even got parenting figured out, too much screentime, not enough family activities... Please tell me I'm not the only who doesn't have everything figured out yet and that I have hope.

"That's funny because it was your statement I found patronising"

Good. For one you misunderstood it, which frankly for someone who is so together is fucking hilarious, secondly it was supposed to offer comfort to the OP which your pompous statement wouldn't.

You are making it up as you go along, I bet your plans aren't the same as they were, making out its about "taking control" ignores outside circumstances.

Which is what you want, because it means your success and life is down to you.

Unfortunately, we all know that luck plays its part, hence the making it up as you go along.
