Where does a girl like Margo actually end up?

Married to a upper-middle class guy by the time she's 25. She'll probably take a few college courses and wind up as a part-time yoga instructor. They'll have 3 kids and live a perfect life. I've seen happen 100 times in real life.

I think the basic here is what do we actually want out of life. Most people takes the safe route, they get a education and a job with steady income, gets married and have kids. Meanwhile they might daydream about how life would have turned out if they where "free spirit" travelers that explored the world. This might often trigger the "midlife crisis" where you start to get all nostalgic, look back at your life and question if you did the right choice.
Some actually leave their spouses and start acting out to supress the anxiety feeling of not having lived out their dream or what not, but most people will either start yoga, mindfulness or buy some expensive stuff that they have dreamt about.

Now, lets flip that story into Margo's life. The persons who actually lives out that daydream so many of us have.
They go out high, right from the bat. Travel around the world, taking all sorts of jobs to pay the basics, with few material goods. They might work as bartender in LA, barista in Paris or scuba diving instructers in Greece. Now, this is all fine and dandy in your 20's and perhaps most of your 30's. But when they start hitting that "midlife crisis" they might have the same experience as the common people have. Questions like "have my life been worth it?", "i own nothing, i have no kids, no education", "all i have is memories". They might regret not having kids, or a husband/wife and might be tired of not having a steady income. They also might struggle to get the same jobs they got when they where 10-20 years younger. The club owner might not hire you because a younger version of you is more appealing to the nightclub etc.

It will also most likely be a harder challenge for those people to start a "regulare life" at that age, compared to "going wild" as the opposite for people with a more normal life style.

So, my conclusion is that people like Margo might enjoy their life (high risk, high reward) for a good time, but reality will sooner or later grab you by it hands and you might regret it later in life.

On her back .

So I'm going to give a positive answer and say that girls like Margot become photographers, writers, artists... jobs that can take you all over the world, never staying too long in one place.

Where do these free spirit, live one day at a time, in the moment type girls end up?

Where do these free spirit, live one day at a time, in the moment type girls end up?

Prostitution or retail.

I don't know which is better.

It's easier for a girl than a guy because so many guys are willing to give money and support to a female that is a complete strangers. Sort of like how it's usually females that get the occasional hugely oversized tip in restaurants. It's probably a subconscious behavior of men thinking they might be propositioned for sex after.

A female free spirit is going to be naive and think everyone is good inside or be manipulative and use people to keep their life style going. Either way, they greatly risk a future of being molested either by bad men they should never have trusted or by angry men that felt like they were misled.

Either way, a free spirit is more of a free loader. Even if they feel like they work for their living, those opportunities only exist because of those that worked harder to build that business to let you have that opportunity.
