Apart from this I don't even know. I have so much on my mind always, but my aims seem so small. I've just learned to find what really matters and everything else is fleeting nothingness.

Don't worry humanity will go extinct from killing off wildlife and food due to pollution and then there's overpopulation. There are people who are trying to deny it will happen, but we're already seeing the rich recklessly destroying shit and pushing the space angle because they know there's not much time left before earth is uninhabitable. You, as a wagecuck have no say in this, so you may as well do whatever you want.

Even if you had a lot of money, it doesn't mean your life is any better. Lots of super wealthy people still live unhappy lives, lots of celebrities commit suicide, same with millionaire superstar athletes.

When you're dead none of your life achievements matter anyway. All your knowledge, experience, relationships, everything disappears.

Most people have no purpose in life, everyone is just going about their own.

Have a similar existential crisis recently. Given the short span of average person, it feels absolutely foolish to be enslaved for a good part of life to earn money. May be a majority of science and science-induced capitalistic efficiencies we don’t need actually and yet we can be happy (think homestead/traditional village life/tribal life). It’s our concept of BAU and social conditioning (high education/job/mortgage/mindless consumerism/debt) that’s flawed.

Imagine a fictitious conversation between two outsiders (to the system) - they happens to be two tiny sparrows (father and son)

Son: why are these houses empty, dad ?
Dad: all of them gone for work, son?
Son: why they work hard when their massive houses lie empty in a beautiful sunny day?
Dad: this how the economy works? You work and you earn.
Son: why sparrows has not created our economy?
Dad: good lord, you want us to be enslaved by that system, like humans. Thank god that we have a simple life. We don’t need crazy mortgages/soul-crushing jobs. Consider yourself lucky that you are a sparrow, not a human.
Son: But I like their cars/big houses/big machines. They are capable of amazing things, Are not they ?
Dad: true. But they are over-intelligent to realise that they actually don’t need all those crap to lead a purposeful and simpler life close to Mother Nature. Science and intelligence helped them to dominate over us and all other species. However, empathy-less science and intelligence is causing dooms for us and even for them.
Son: if they are so smart, why humans don’t realise these issues?
Dad: some of them does and are already taking actions. But for a vast majority of them - they are so brainwashed by the artificial economics and unending desires of urban lives that they refuse to change. They think nature exists because to give their selfish lives a more dollar value. How foolish.

I just turned 40 and have to look forward to 30-35 more years of this fucking shit?!? Working for just enough to get by. No possibility of buying a house. I make $20 and hour still feel like a loser. Our civilization has stagnated and what do we have to look forward to? The latest iPhone or celebrity whore being shoved in our faces.

Travel? Not with my wages while the charm of the old world has now been lost due to modernization.

There's nothing left out there that doesn't cost an insane amount of money to see, do or own.

I figure I'll wait until I turn 50 and kill myself but not before cashing in every bit of credit I have and going on a month long bender in Thailand before slashing my wrists as I watch the sun rise on the beach.

It’s all pointless in the end. I have been at a job making about $100k a year for about a year. While so many stresses of my old life are gone, what has taken its place is the existential crisis of meaninglessness. I live a comfy life and I don’t hate my job, but I see no reason to get up in the morning. I might call it quits in another 20 years when I hit 50.

Yeah I figured this out after somewhat making it in crypto (500k isn't making it but it's not bad). I actually didn't know what to do with my life at that point. It was comfortable and I didn't really have challenges. So life felt meaningless. Actually I was happier even when I worked my shitty job as a teen in a grocery store, making friends, and going to school while getting high/drunk every weekend.
