Why Financial Freedom Feels Impossible in Today's Economy

[@grim9488]

I don't feel alive more like the walking dead stuck in limbo

[@AnalyzewithAstephen]

Me too!!!!!

[@justhomas83]

This is so true

[@justhomas83]

What's the point

[@dustygearhead]

Alive or just breathing?

[@genx7006]

We are being punished every day by having to return to our abusive slave labor. This really is the hell realm. What did we do in a previous life to deserve this neverending torture?

[@ennuiblue4295]

I had some super abusive bosses over the years. that's a long way to go just because we need money to exist 😒 it's a job, not a federal penitentiary.... or?...

There comes a day when your body just can't drink anymore

[@MillennialSteam-h3s]

That was around midnight and I was puking

[@nightfangs2910]

I stopped working last year, barely making it, when I look at the working poor see their faces of anxiety and depression, and exhausted bodies from their dead end jobs, i realize id rather just be poor and broke than working tired and still be broke, it seemed logical to do it, maybe im just nuts 🤷🤷🙍🙍

[@ennuiblue4295]

nothing worse than doing the mostest, yet enjoying the leastest 😥 makes you feel like a sucker

In a crazy world being lazy is the only way to fly

[@diamondbeats2024]

I’m having a panic attack laying in bed trying to listen to your podcast . I’ve got this interview for 11/hr job tomorrow, and I am beyond nervous to go make space wages. I can’t believe I’m going thru this. I literally don’t want to be homeless or without food. I already know I’m not good enough for these service jobs. I’m not popular or happy. I’m a nerd and loser, and yes I’m a desperation worker…….. 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢 please pray I somehow get through this.

[@diamondbeats2024]

So I went to the first interview of the day….. and it bombed. First off , it’s only 10/hr….. not even 11/hr. Second , they’re only hiring managers at 10/hr. Third, their guy said he’d text me and let me know….. and then said he wasn’t going to text me , right then. So no, I didn’t get the 10/hr job I have two degrees and over 15 yrs experience. And my truck lost a coil and now I’m having truck issues…….. I have one more interview today at a retail store . It’s a group interview ……… and my spirits are low. I don’t stand out, I’m not fortunate looking, and it’s guess I’m not what people want. Nope, nobodies is getting jobs In 2025 it seems. I think the internet was telling the truth after all. I’m also starting to think I live in a “job desert”. Where there’s hardly any jobs but service jobs. Reality is not looking good for me. I might restart my KZbin channel trying to make beats again. Idk what I’m going to do………

[@ennuiblue4295]

​@@diamondbeats2024 I get anxiety just thinking about what job hunters are going through, it doesn't even seem possible anymore, even for the worst jobs 😥 hoping things work out for you soon

[@diamondbeats2024]

@ wish me luck for 2 hrs from now. I have my 2nd interview of the day.

[@ennuiblue4295]

​@@diamondbeats2024 maybe it'll be smoother after the first one, old hat now 😉

[@AiphTheDJ]

Grow a pair of balls and demand 15/hr they can't even determine if you aren't fit if you lack confidence.

[@pattayaesl7128]

The only way you are gonna make it is to do a remote job in a rich country and go live in The Dominican Republic or Santa Marta Colombia where the rent is like $200 a month.

[@AlmightyyMJ]

This seems to be the only way to make life worth living

[@JoePublic-f6u]

There is no upward mobility anymore. The psychologists and rehabs of the world are going to have a hard time convincing people that there's a world to live for.

[@MillennialSteam-h3s]

@@JoePublic-f6u telling people you have so much to live for and staying positive about things is a failure

[@eXclusive1]

Despite the doom and gloom content, you come across extremely likable. I think you'll be fine but right now EVERYONE is feeling it across continents.

I listen to people reading scripts and they sound terrible with their optimistic attitude towards the future

"You will own nothing and be happy" is nothing new, it's called Property Tax. Stop paying your property tax and you will see who own your home even if you successfully payed off your mortgage. George Carlin said it best: "There’s a reason for this, there’s a reason education sucks, and it’s the same reason that it will never, ever, ever be fixed. It’s never gonna get any better. Don’t look for it. Be happy with what you got. Because the owners of this country don't want that. I'm talking about the real owners now, the real owners, the big wealthy business interests that control things and make all the important decisions. Forget the politicians. The politicians are put there to give you the idea that you have freedom of choice. You don't. You have no choice. You have owners. They own you. They own everything. They own all the important land. They own and control the corporations". "They want more for themselves and less for everybody else, but I'll tell you what they don’t want: They don’t want a population of citizens capable of critical thinking. They don’t want well informed, well educated people capable of critical thinking. They’re not interested in that. That doesn’t help them. Thats against their interests. Thats right. They don’t want people who are smart enough to sit around a kitchen table to figure out how badly they’re getting fucked by a system that threw them overboard 30 fucking years ago. They don’t want that. You know what they want? They want obedient workers. Obedient workers. People who are just smart enough to run the machines and do the paperwork, and just dumb enough to passively accept all these increasingly shittier jobs with the lower pay, the longer hours, the reduced benefits, the end of overtime and the vanishing pension that disappears the minute you go to collect it, and now they’re coming for your Social Security money. They want your retirement money. They want it back so they can give it to their criminal friends on Wall Street, and you know something? They’ll get it. They’ll get it all from you, sooner or later, 'cause they own this fucking place. It's a big club, and you ain’t in it. You and I are not in the big club. And by the way, it's the same big club they use to beat you over the head with all day long when they tell you what to believe. All day long beating you over the head in their media telling you what to believe, what to think and what to buy. The table is tilted folks. The game is rigged, and nobody seems to notice, nobody seems to care. Good honest hard-working people -- white collar, blue collar, it doesn’t matter what color shirt you have on -- good honest hard-working people continue -- these are people of modest means -- continue to elect these rich cocksuckers who don’t give a fuck about them. They don’t give a fuck about you". "Americans will probably remain willfully ignorant of the big red, white and blue dick that's being jammed up their assholes everyday. Because the owners of this country know the truth: It's called the American Dream, because you have to be asleep to believe it".

Well happy belated birth day from one other person you don't know. I have been there. My worst day was not a birth day. It was washing dishes at the Disney's Polynesian Resort concierge while rich people enjoyed the fireworks on new years eve. Long ago, happy I'm no longer there and hope you find your escape.

It takes a much smaller percentage of the donation than YT does. Also, I recommend that you put the link to it and your CashApp account in your individual video descriptions.

@MillennialSteam-h3s I think any month in the summer would be best

[@anatolyparker7497]

Millenial steam should get a friend. Not saying it solves any of ur problems im in the same boat and am just waiting to die, but having someone to laugh/cry with and drink on ur off days does help. I know its hard, ive basically given up making new ones since 2020 for personal and obvious cultural reasons, but u go to the gym unlike me theres gotta be another parole there that would drink with you. You seem like a nice guy i could have a beer with.
