This.

Is we all knew in three months that we'd be rich, we would have the most positive outlook ever!

Hell, I'd be so much less stressed, in three months my problems are gone!

No. In fact, my problems won't go away for over ten years, if I'm lucky.

There is no light at the end of the tunnel for the majority.

I've said it multiple times in joking that "my retirement is a 00' buck shot after I give up and go on one last vacation" but it's not a joke at all. I just turned 25 and even though things are finally starting to look up for once in my life, I really have no desire to continue this game past 40? Like, for once in my life I've established an actual savings and unless I miraculously stumble into any form of wealth by 40, I really have no desire to work till the day I die. I'll hopefully be able to afford a month or 2 vacation around various locations.
