it feel literally impossible to switch careers without going back to the scam that is college.

What is this?

I turn off all thought and emotion and just mindlessly carry myself throughout the day providing labor to my employer while not being paid enough to advance meaningfully in anyway through life as I refuse to take on debt. It doesn't matter if I'm berated or abused verbally by my superiors, none of it registers, that's the robot part. I smile and I'm nice to everyone but there's nothing on the inside, nothing there. The best part of my day is the lunch hour which is unpaid, my employer provides me with a meal that's free on two days of the week, the other three I must pay $5 for this meal. The meal is good because it's prepared for our guests to be sold for a profit and I guess they don't have time to create slop good enough to sell and a second batch of wagie feed just good enough to give their workers nutrition, so we get to eat the tasty slop.

After work I drive home and enter my decrepit domicile where my autistic nephew is on Youtube playing the SpongeBob "Dirty Dan, Pinhead Larry" episode at max volume and -50% speed, along with 15 other open tabs of "Cartoon Screaming" compilations, so that the audio drags on like there are a legion of demons in the house, he watches these video all day, every day, while rocking violently and usually pressing the back arrow button the laptop so that the video rewinds every 5 seconds. Then I check in on my elderly parents to ensure their blood sugar levels are okay, then I enter the bedroom in which I grew up in to play some videogames until I have to go to bed at 9pm because I have to be up at 6am and repeat the process.

How do I cope with being a failure

I hate waging, it makes me feel dead on the inside, is this all there is to life?

UBI, eating bugs and living in a pod sounds pretty good right about now.

>tfw priced out of everything

Is $45,000 a good salary?

Should I introduce my friend to crypto?

That’s... AI?

Well, I just bought more silver. My future is tied to the white metal now as I’ve rage bought aggressively the last 3 years.

Bitcoin has been crabbing within a 4% range for 2 weeks...

Why God, why did I fall for the mechanical engineering meme? I literally IQmogged the fuck out of all the pre-med kids in our general science courses in the first year of college, why didn’t I pursue the racket known as American medicine? Jesus fucking Christ when I see radiologists making $800,000 I want to puke knowing I can barely make $80,000.

27 years old, living in mommy’s basement like a fucking loser. I work full time and make around $4,000 a month after taxes, almost no expenses.

If I save every penny for a year I’ll only net $48,000, it would take my 22 years to become a millionaire and a million dollars isn’t even a lot of money TODAY, let alone 22 years from now when I’ll be 50.

I’ve got to get up to at least $25,000 a month after taxes, but I’ve got no idea how. I’m so fucking sick of being poor.

Fuck, I really thought raising rates up to 5% would at least partially take inflation but it’s still ripping up .5% month over month and now the fed can’t go any higher because the financial system would collapse.

I’m actually going to get priced out of literally everything, I can’t keep up anymore and the fed has given up. All of the asset inflation is coming back online with crypto violently mooning, memestocks making a comeback, and even housing making a comeback.

The next inflationary leg up is here. I really should’ve been debtmaxxing for the past decade. Fuck.

also still a friendless virgin, should I just kms at this point?
