I grew up dirt poor. It wasn’t until I worked my way into a better career and now make decent money. Let me yell you, having enough money to cover bills and eat healthier does solve most problems.

Who would have thought it took a little work?

Probably my father who had everything handed to him in his (still objectively shitty) upbringing before kicking me out with nothing and expecting me to flourish because it’s apparently just a matter of putting in some elbow grease.

I’ll just do that with the lack of knowledge they provided me and the lack of skills that the education system gave me.

Thank heavens I’ve met tons of understanding people that provided me the tools and support I needed to uplift myself without money. I can be much more productive to society and the people I love and care about within without having to worry about garbage like money or failing; I can keep getting back up and learn from my mistakes without suddenly going homeless one day.

But no, I was just “lazy”. Still apparently am.

It is almost as if everyone’s successes or failures are formed in and dependent on the framework of the world around them.

I guess the homeless people working 60+ hours a week are just lazy

Deftdrummer ,

Guess they’re just people for you to support. And you wonder why the cycle continues. 🙄

Yep. Not being constantly petrified of an unexpected bill is a type of happiness!

Please don’t yell at me
