Those life responsibilities are not mandatory unavoidable things. They're choices.

Such as: owning property, owning car(s), having children, getting married, getting a mortgage, etc.

You can chose to not do any of those things and basically live like you're 20 when you're 80 (in terms of responsibilities).

As someone who has done all the things you listed, my experience is that the grass is always greener on the other side.
