'...systems that deliberately keep us exhausted and underpaid...'
That's one of the most disappointing aspects of this capitalist system, that it forces us to stay on the rat race and sacrifice time and energy for poor financial benefits....when in fact the system should distribute wealth way more fairly, thus enabling us to live more comfortably and pursue our creative passions.
The stress and financial insecurities and burdens most of us are dealing with isn't at all normal and must be rejected! This is no way to live!
Oooph this always gets me. Yes I want to "have it all" and "dream big" (whatever that means) but also I want to be realistic. And I know I've ironically been a lot happier whenever I stopped pushing myself to achieve more and actually just enjoy where I am 🤷♀️
FUUUUUUUUUCK !!!! This!!!!! I just had a conversation with my 20 yr old son where “I wasn’t manifesting correctly” and he was “manifesting himself a millionaire” FUCKING SERIOUSLY??????????
Fine. See how that works out. Don’t be mad when it doesn’t.
Ha! I went through a phase like that in my 20s, too. It’s part of why I’m so cranky and salty about it now. I really believed that shit and then blamed myself for years when it didn’t work.
OH THANK HEATHEN!!! I mean, not that you blamed yourself, but that you got through it and came out salty! I did NOT raise him like that, and idk WHAT he is consuming (aside from my extended family extreme conservatism trumpy ideas🤮), but here’s hoping he outgrows it. He had other disgusting notions, which I spoke strongly against, but what the fuck do I know, right?🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄
I'm sorry, that sounds hard. Sometimes the best thing we can do is just love someone. I bet your son knows how much you love him, and that matters a lot.
What you've described is the dark side of personal finance--all responsibility placed on the individual with no acknowledgement of the larger context and systems that limit peoples' available choices.
Oh fuck yeah! This made me feel seen.
I'm so glad.
UGGHGHGHGH. Fucking preach. Thank you for this.
My fucking pleasure. 😁

I know, right? When I stop trying so hard, I am much more content.
What the cuss was this?!!? You should cuss more. It's good stuff.
Fuck yeah!

He does. I always tell him.
Honestly, thank you for writing this!
You’re welcome! I felt that it needed to be said.
Yes!! All so true!!

Yes to all of this!
What you've described is the dark side of personal finance--all responsibility placed on the individual with no acknowledgement of the larger context and systems that limit peoples' available choices.
Yes, that exactly!
I can't hit like hard enough on this.
Fuck yes!
