My idea of becoming rich isn't a fancy mansion.... It's having enough for all of my essentials and having plenty left over...
Ya know, what used to be normal?
I have that but it's pretty much cost me my entire self and identity. All I do anymore is work and sleep. I don't socialize ever and it feels sinful if I'm awake and not making a dollar of profit for the overseer.
Somewhere there's a middle ground, but I've never found it.
I hate that we consider that rich. Being able to have a normal home, food on table and a bit left over for rainy days shouldn't be considered rich, it should be the baseline for everyone.
Normal for white men in their 30s.
The purchasing of the median person power has NEVER been higher than now

what time period are you referring to?
I wish I could both afford to have health insurance and afford to go to the doctor. I can't even afford to get insurance on my car and the health insurance cost 20% of my income but has a $2,000 deductible? What the fuck?!
Deductibles should be illegal it's like "I have insurance, but not really"
None of this is for you. This order, these laws.
So what kind of fucking idiot would stick to them?
