Did you have an adult in your life constantly telling you how lucky you are and it will only get worse when you were a teen? That shit robs you of your joy then and later; that mentality sets you up for failure. That’s what OPs post is describing. And if you think that people who are disabled or can’t make ends meet can’t have joy in their lives then you’re reinforcing the narrative that you must have certain things in order to “win at life”. Even if there is an element of truth to the sentiment there’s no reason to blow out of proportion that life is one endless stream of misery once you’re X many years older
Instead im a corporate wage slave who works 10+ hours a day to still not be to even pay all my bills on time.
Don’t have time or money to go back to school to take a gamble on something else actually paying fairly and even if it did the company you work for is still gonna be a dystopian piece of shit.
All the money that goes into my retirement will not amount to enough to retire so I (along with billions of others) will work until the day we die.
