    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… 🙄🙄🙄

    Work culture is being tuned to the point that everyone is miserable in it except those that find the work itself to be pleasure in a “hustlegrind sigma mindset” culty way.

    I’ve saved enough to quit working, but I keep working for health insurance and the capitalist money hoarding mentality. In my mind I know I’d be happier retiring early, but my lifetime of hoarding won’t allow me to endure the opportunity cost.
