You’re basically saying ‘my life is secure; fuck everybody else that hasn’t got what I have’.
Not what I’m saying at all. I’m saying that if an idiot like me, with very few work skills, made it, then you certainly can because you have more advantages than I have had.
I also had a child to raise, so even if you count in costs of living differences between then and now, it’s negated by the fact that I had a kid to care for.
Bruh, I live in a city of over 500,000 people. The majority of people I see are not “just struggling.” People are doing it. Are you saying all of them have had it easier than yourself?
Right now as I type this, there is a group of 10 road crew guys working on the curbs of my street. Hard, miserable, dirty work. They make more than I ever did. And their out there, laughing, doing their work and just going on with their lives.
I was never even skilled enough to do construction work. I promise that right now, you have more stuff and more skills than I have ever had.
And I’d trade my paid-for house for your youth any fucking day. But not your mindset. This will sound offensive, but I do believe your mindset is holding you back more than anything else.
By the way, my kid is your age. Lives three blocks from me with his gf, and one roommate. And he’s getting by.
I don’t know if this is something to be proud of tbh.

I’m glad you built a good base for yourself, now help lift up others. It doesn’t stop sucking for everyone else just because you check out.
IMO you have the obligation to create the environment that allows what you have (an existence without worry for politics) for everyone.
So what are you doing that’s creating that type of environment for me and others?
