Wagecucking is the ultimate death trap, I've been fucking depressed eversince I was done with Uni. I hate every fucking day of my life and want to quit so fucking badly but I can't endure another round of 100 applications that never amount to anything other that an absolute shit show of a job. This life is agony friends, I'm legit going to end myself if I don't find a way out before the age of 30, currently 25. Wish me luck frens, god knows I need it.

I am being tortured. Yes I was a scumbag but I have finally grown out of it and I consider myself to be pretty outgoing and mature for a 25y/o. Crypto is my only solution. I need to pay my dads debt and have at least 1.5k/month passive income before I’m 28 or I’m going to kill myself

Felt really bad senpai, only good thing is that my manager actually gave me a pay raise that matches what I would get when I got the management position. Talks are that there where complains from female coworkers that our management team wasn't diverse enough.

I'm seriously considering putting everything I have into crypto to escape this hell I see around me. If I lose it all who fucking cares this country is finished anyway.

College was by far the worst experience of my life and I'm making $4 more as a chemist than I was clearing fucking tables.
I'm going to have to get a masters to have any hope of buying a house in the future, and the thought of spending the money to go to school again is legitimately nauseating.

I'm a 19 year old zoomer who's never had to wagecuck luckily, but this shit is seriously scaring me.
Just buy being in crypto for a couple months I have enough to pay for my college, but now that I read your stories... damn it's not enough is it?
How can I make sure I don't have to wageslave like you guys? I seriously don't want that to be my life, do I have to make it with crypto?

What's nice about crypto is that it is something where you keep all of the value gained. There isn't a company that employs you raking in 50%+ of the value

You get to keep it. Life isn't (as) bad when you keep the majority of all of the value you create
