      The trick to not having to pay rent is to buy a house.

        Then you pay mortgage instead of a rent. Plus property tax.

          Rent is just paying someone else’s mortgage and property taxes.

    I love my job and it pays me enough to not worry about it. The secret is living in any western country except the U.S.

        Ridiculously expensive housing without the salaries to match. But at least I don’t have to worry about going broke if ever someone in the family gets sick I guess.

      Right, because there isn’t rampant capitalism and wide spread poverty pretty much everywhere else too… 🙄🙄🙄

      (am in UK and you’re full of shit. I recommend checking your privilege, or at least taking your head out of your ass long enough to have a look around)

        You’re lying. British people are mentally incapable of admitting their faults when Americans are around.

        Poverty rates in former USSR countries have bwen steadily declining since its downfall. Its still widespread but how is capitalism at fault for it?

      🙄 the US has plenty of not the majority of high paying jobs. Working in high skill STEM pays absurdly good.

      It’s like skill jobs that get fucked.

        The absolute number doesn’t matter much if the expenses of living in the STEM-riddled areas are just as high, if not higher.

          Remote work fixes that for many people

          And Europe isn’t expensive to live? Canada? Australia? All of them have very high CoL in population centers. Especially tech hubs. The only place that’s significantly out of whack is CA and to be honest, much of the time it’s still worth it. Go remote and get the best of both worlds is quite common and easy.

          That’s true in the U.S. as well in many cities. Chinese investors buy up huge numbers of apartments and houses.

        He’s right though, live in western Europe and I got both the time and money to enjoy life.

        Even the poorest in my country have a “right to vacation”, special programs allow them to travel for barely any money.

    Is “job person” a term now?

      People just HAVE to keep changing established terms to feel special, I guess. For example, I’ve noticed people used to say “X got that Win!”, then it changed to “Y fr earned that W”, and today I saw someone say “Z deserved that dub”.

      Wonder what the next evolution could possibly be…

    Just find a job which you love and which pays a lot, problem solved!

      Unironcally. I think is what to do but backwards. You should try out the paths that lead toward the best paid jobs until you find the one you like the most. People get top caught up on finding their “dream job.” Your team, the company, and the culture will have a bigger impact on your mental health than the tasks anyway

      I can confirm that this works. It’s what I did and I’m a lot happier than when I worked a job with an average salary.
