He has no agency or individuality, just like all the rest of us sheep who don't attend your weekly Marxist luncheons.

When I get to 70 the most likely option, since retirement will be impossible, would be to disappear into the woods. Or suicide by cop. Whichever is most convenient.

What business should I start next year? I'm not a manager, nor do I own a car and I have yet to have my first kiss, but maybe I can do that stuff retroactively after I start a business. I'm thinking a fish stall. Everyone needs fish, right?

Seriously, the whole "start a business" culture that's ramping up is really unsettling. Articles pop up on my LinkedIn with titles like "25 and over the hill? If you try you might still be able to start a business you lazy gently caress".

"Things are needlessly bad for the vast majority of people" Let me make this true statement about me and how well I'm doing and imply that anyone not doing as well as me deserves it, because obviously the system in which I am successful is the natural order of things, because I am the center of the universe.

lots of young ppl actually still take this poo poo really seriously and go out of their way to foolishly try to mimic a 1950s life...i can't understand the appeal in any of it. everyone i know irl who is my age or younger and gets quickly gets married, a mortage, and has kids suddenly become pretty boring, constantly busy with responsibilities, and suddenly all behave like they are 45yo...no thank you. nothing wrong with getting married and having children but what's the rush? u should go travel now and spend ur free time enjoying things u like doing while u are still sexy, healthy, and limber not when u are "retired" because thats just a load of poo poo given the circumstances of those who are 18-35yo in the US u should be striving to be as self-indulgent as possible without being a major rear end in a top hat and live a life solely dedicated to seeking pleasure and happiness to escape the fact that u got screwed big time Mariana Horchata fucked around with this message at 23:00 on May 21, 2015 |

unless by 'small business' you mean like a glorified neighborhood lawnmowing operation or something else that pays in cash with no overhead that's basically just having a kid all over again except it dies at age 2 after cosigning you for a full suite of college loans

P much this. I will totally admit that I am not that great with my money, but make enough to pay the bills, eat decently, have a couple of vacations a year, etc. I'm buying a duplex in an area that is pretty cheap but has high demand, this year hopefully. I don't make anywhere near 60k.

you could easily find a way to live like a medieval serf on $60k/yr with a midsize family and a little too much house without needing to dip into obviously idiotic extravagances but it's the (many, many) guys who whine the exact same way about the unrelenting brutality of scraping by on a mere $400k/yr that crack me up your actual means don't matter folks are just super loving imaginative in finding ways to live beyond them while deriving no actual pleasure from it
