I am 31 and gave up long ago. I am never settling down and working a 9 to 5. I will do odd jobs and live for myself, because I need freedom and autonomy and enjoy the free things in life like a walk in nature more than anything money can buy.

This man gets it. At the end of 07, I sensed something was going astray and began a frugal lifestyle and utilizing/taking advantage of investments. ‘08 hit and was blessed with, while low pay, a job that paid on time and was consistent. Wife and I lived in a garage and saved like crazy. Drove a car for $1000. Couponed like crazy. Saved like mad. It paid off and gave us a really good safety net of savings. Live as frugal as can be. As the old saying goes: “You are always potentially one paycheck away from being broke.”

You nailed it, brother. I’ve been unemployed for a few months, which has caused me to limit my spending to only the essentials. It’s actually pretty liberating when you realize how much you *dont* need. Spotify, prime, grubhub subscription 👎🏻. Now I pirate everything, eat healthier than ever, and feel an odd sense of freedom spending my time outside and in the moment.

I have avoided this by returning to ownership and embracing minimalism. I own primarily physical media and avoid subscriptions. I avoid debt like the plague, and I look to always live below my means. My student loans are almost paid off. I am much happier as a result. I can enjoy my life knowing that I don't have to rent anything in it nor be a slave to a financial institution.

I still use an MP3 player and I still buy CDs from time to time also I don't have a smartphone but I understand I am not the norm. As far as owning a home or land, we have never owned a home or land in the U.S.A. because if you don't pay the annual taxes they will take it away from you and you have to pay those taxes forever. Also, money is just an illusion that we have all agreed upon. If I have a garden and you have a million dollars but no food and you offer me money for my food but I say no then your money is worthless. So, fiat-currency, crypto-currency, and precious metals are only as valuable as what someone is will to exchange them for.

As a senior who came from nothing, I could tell early on that it would be a fools game to borrow for a degree, and burnt out from working and going to school I quit. After a couple of years in Nature, while working nights I kind of found my groove and moved back to the city to continue in an art school then quit again when I didn’t want to borrow, working my way up from a low paying entry level job, then the moment, I “made it” I bought a condo that was only 200 over my current rent, far from work. I didn’t want to own nothing, and this afforded me a leg up, even when 2 years later I was let go. I was “in the door” and roommates can help pay. Fast forward to now living in a paid off house and still driving a 30 yr old car, since I came from nothing. Don’t buy into advertising …stuff ties you down. And don’t give up either. A.I. only as clever as what it finds out there.

You’re dead on. I’ve had these luxuries as a GenX and you always think that things will stay the same or that there will always be opportunities but this is wrong thinking. You gotta make sure you maximize your resources and not overextend yourself in more ways than just money. Take care of your body it’s got to carry you through the years and your mind, stop doing drugs or alcohol this will erode your ability to make better decisions and save your money!

This is what happens when politicians can be sold to the highest bidder. Politicians work for campaign donors and not the voters. We need term limits so politicians can’t make a career out of siphoning off tax money for companies. We also need campaign finance reform so special interests groups can’t dupe the public with massive smear campaigns and other propaganda.

Seems like with the allocation of resources. It is not the people don’t want to work. They want proper boundaries between themselves and work, but that is seen as non-negotiable with a company perhaps new policies will be put in place but that is a better way to have a worklife balance if you’re working so much that you can’t even, have time to do things in life you’re creating a system that is nonfunctional. Burning out, creates no rest and there’s no incentive and mentality mental health is not seen.

They make it so hard to understand the tax and economic systems. I need to do further research but from what i understand.. we have a fiat currency backed by nothing (but it's kinda backed by stocks and bonds) and we borrow money from the fed (who is not a federal but a private institution) to feed to the economy... But then we take taxes so the economy is .... Stable? Im not quite sure. I remember that they spend first and tax later so taxes arent ussed for spending they are like.. destroyed? For great justice I suppose.

Desktop computers made it possible to have 1 person on a computer multi-task, doing many things with all those programs. For example....Desktop computers decimated the old school printing graphic arts industry. Secretaries became graphic artists, doing all the newsletters, ads, art stuff. (No offense to secretaries) But companies needed less employees...you get my point...😮
