I think this is scientifically accurate. I have seen studies that show after you meet your basic needs with money, money doesn't increase life satisfaction or happiness. Maybe you get a temporary bump in dopamine, but it quickly baselines.

There’s is not a single room available within a 5hrs daily commute radius from my workplace that I can afford to rent.

Kek, problem is wagies that low on the totem pole don't understand the concept of liability. She could be injured while diving in the dumpster and blame the company. Or, if it becomes customary and expected for wagies to engage in late night dumpster meals, they'll start fighting amongst themselves for who gets what.
Too many headaches for the company to allow it.

This is why I am a neet. I get $1200 a month for disability and my only expenses are rent, food and internet. I live in government housing which only costs $400 a month, spend $250 a month on food and $75 on internet so $725 in payments a month so I save $475 each month which I invest $300 into crypto each month and use $125 for fun money and save $50 for emergency fund which I used the other day to upgrade my computer as it getting outdated.

You're very privileged if you can live at home and build wealth.

If your parents have the space, and are willing to let you live at home for free, you are incredibly privileged. A lot of people don't have parents to fall back on. I know a lot of latino kids that are smart but grew up in shitty apartments with their single mom and 8 siblings; all sharing 2 bedrooms between them.

My mom was never strapped for cash (always made 100k) but completely destroyed my life by lying that we were poor and deliberately undercutting me and stealing social security benefits/using me for adult tax credits and discouraging me from working during college and graduating later than I should have kek.

So you witnessed their selfishness firsthand, sorry bro. That line, “steals for her kids”, she’s already stolen a father from them and thus a normal life, goddamn the lengths they need to go to to justify their greedy narcissism.
