I bet you pre-civilization homo sapiens had more free time they could spend socializing and frolicking. With all of our technological advances, how come we are subject to conditions more taxing than those of our early ancestors? This whole situation is as if engineered by some sadistic entity.

Pretty much.

I just realized that you can't escape it as well. If automation increases, there's gonna be higher level jobs to grind and compete for, since society is gonna have new expectations. Since efficiency is good, the most efficient thing you can have for the economy is working all the time for as little leisure time as possible. Just face reality goy

Gonna be a big hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm from me

The only real problem is consumerism itself
This phenomena of pushing people to buy extra things with their spare income leads naturally to everyone having to work more
If we bought less, people would simply have to work less, owing to the improvements in productivity we've seen since the industrial revolution
But alas, like a procrastinating kid with low impulse control, our society chooses to apply the spare wealth generated by these technological betterments toward BUYin' mo' SHEEIT

They did. Nomadic hunter gatherer tribes worked around 4-5 hours a day. And spent a lot of the day socializing. They actually were generally healthier (until they got sick or injured) and happier than we are today. This is based on anthropological evidence of historic artifacts and observing modern uncontacted tribes

without options
because, ''it's too hard''
''i got no money''
''how could i do that?''
''nah ive been bad at this since a kid''

You need discipline to make retirement enjoyable and those that fantasize most about it have the least discipline. A leopard doesn't change its spots and a bird in hand is worth two in the bush etc.

let me say this my friend

you are in the right
we can't answer that initially

but

you yourself know how sad is the
wagecuckold life

it is not an option
for non-NPCs

you can't deny the fact that
it is more pleasurable working 8 hours in
something you have decided to work on
than
slavering 8 hours because you need money

The only escape is to get passive income going, start your own business, do side hustles or save money until you can.
Things to avoid when young: buying a new car, renting a bigger place than you need, wasting money on useless consumerist crap...save, spend wisely, set yourself up with side hustles...it takes time but it pays off

And the girls who try to look pretty

And start your slaving job to get your pay

Welcome to the clown world.

You should aim for taking a job that allows you to work only 30 or less hours a week, which is quite a realistic proposition if you work as a contractor and such.

Also, try to do your cooking in the weekend and make food for the entire week, that should give you an extra hour or so a day.

a couple things:

1. you leave work at 16:00 and get home at 17:00, so your commute is an hour. you don't need an hour in the morning to dick around. start waking up at 5:30.
2. stop cooking every day. make something big on sunday, freeze it, then eat it throughout the week.

1. you need less time to be thinking about your miserable existence in the morning and more sleep.
2. Make sure all of the food you eat is microwaved shit from 3-5 days ago
3. Why the hell do you need a companion when you have work to do and rest to have when you aren’t working.
