Well it's because there's no return on their time investment, they're unfulfilled. Society expecting endless growth and importing millions of Indians to pay for boomers endless pensions did this to them.
What do at this point? Work endless hours for a system which hates you?
everyone else who isn't a fuck up is doing very well under the current system.
failures have only themselves to blame, not the "system"
sounds like a cope from a loser, tbh
yes, you need to work to pay in so that you can take out the work of others, that's how an economy works.
edit: losers coping lol
I'm probably richer than you, I don't think it matters. It just means you can consume more useless crap and I would never sacrifice having a life for money.
I mean being fat automatically makes you a loser, having no real friends or family make you a loser. By those measures most of society are massive failures.
I think that there’s an argument to be made that the constant growth/lowest common denominator mindset is what’s feeding the like superficial impulses that are kind of tearing us all apart over gay beers and mean tweets. It’s definitely appropriate to question feeding the “system” that’s castrating children and nuking western birth rates.
"The system" isn't doing shit. Blackrock and leftists are the ones doing it.
Don't get distracted railing against a mindless, faceless system when your enemies are right in front of your face.
Anyone who is anti-growth is an absolute idiot.
I thought this was a lunatic leftist-exclusive idea, but I guess doomers & russian bots also want to promote the idea of

BEING POOR ON PURPOSE
LOL
the people in this sub are such dregs sometimes.
Is what you want to do with your money. Lets say I get to cut 20% of my income to stop having kids being exposed to gay stuff or another 20% or even 30% to stop mass immigration so that my kids don't grow up hated for their skin color, being discriminated against and being made ashamed of their culture and heritage.
I would do that in a second. So I'm fine with "being poor on purpose" as long as the reason of my "poorness" goes towards the things that matter to me.
"line must go up" mentality is part of the cause of all our bullshit today
lol kill yourself retarded nigger
I gotta agree with this.
I worked about 5 years in entry level trades (no experience required), part time, single Dad, paying full cost for babysitting, and bought a car outright during that period.
I saved so much during that time that I could have bought a house in the early 2000s. Prices quadrupled since then, but I have enough savings to live without working for close to 10 years.
The reason for this is I don't spend much money on extravagant garbage. I don't eat a restaurants more than a few times a year, I don't take foreign vacations, I take care of my stuff so it lasts for decades and I don't need to buy new crap.
The "system" is incredible, unprecedented in history.
People are ruining it's potential. Importing immigrants to drive down wages, sure, but also spending their money on companies that send their profits to the very people importing immigrants.
Make your money but LIVE LIKE YOU'RE POOR. What you need is much less than you think you need. And you're free to spend the excess on whatever you like, including play time.
