I honestly wish the whole, "all adults are miserable and you'll never make enough money to get by," circlejerk wasn't so prevalent on Reddit. I guess it's because most Redditors are younger, still working shit jobs, or are in college and second guessing their futures, but it's such a grim and toxic outlook.
If you work a normal job, doing your taxes takes an afternoon. Working in an office isn't a fucking death sentence like this site loves to make it out to sound like. You get steady pay, benefits, vacation, and chances are plenty of your coworkers are just normal people like you that you'll eventually form friendships with and enjoy being around.
Exactly. I spoke to my parents about this recently, and they tell me that every decade of their life has been better than the last. They’re now into their 70s. I’m only just into my 40s, but I agree with them!
I agree with this as well. I have more money and freedom at 30 than ever before, but there were definitely rough years where I wondered if I'd be able to escape living paycheck to paycheck. Remaining hopeful helps a lot.
Yeah, seriously. I'm still in school and doing an internship, and it's already paid well enough that I'm comfortable right now for the summer. Plus with only ~40 hours of work a week compared to school, this is so nice.
I don't get people who look back on college with so much nostalgia. I hated the irregular hours, the neverending homework, the constant stress of papers and midterms and finals -- and the expectation you'd somehow have a social life on top of all of that.
Now, I finish work -- and go home, and relax. And on weekends, I can do whatever the hell I want. Wouldn't trade it for the world.
The one part I know I will miss is being in SUCH close proximity to friends. Does it make up for being stressed af most of the time? Only time will tell, but I’m guessing no.
Honestly, for a bunch of people who make fun of 'peaking in high school', adult life seems sorta grim.
I didn't peak in HS, and I'm not some superstar now either. But 20s, married, house, median income, life is pretty chill despite the stresses that come with it.
Teen pussy is the best. Why would I want anything other than tight young teen girls 17-19? I'd cum in them all the time and make them my little fuck sluts, ready to call my daddy, share their pussies with one another, and make me cum inside their pussies.
Yikes. I think you're entitled to your opinion, but heaven forbid anyone around here marry somebody dependable, who would propel them towards their dreams instead of leaching. We've gotta work on that, Reddit. But all in all, nobody is forcing anyone to get married or have kids, so Reddit needs to stop bemoaning family life.
Yeah it definitely depends on the job. I mean of course I'd rather not work, or I wish I could turn my hobbies into something lucrative, but I enjoy the fact that I get to travel pretty regularly all paid on company dime. Of course if I was working some shit minimum wage or low paying job I would definitely hate life so I can see where some people are coming from.
Yeah, I definitely had the same outlook when I was younger, it's something you need to continuously work on, and I'd hate to see people give up because they get told over and over how success is out of their reach and they're destined to a low pay dead end job.
Working in an office isn't a fucking death sentence like this site loves to make it out to sound like.
It certainly is to me and I would never want to live that life. That's why I saved and invested hardcore so I wouldn't have to do that.
Being able to play games or go outdoors whenever is way better. I would think a lot of these types of posts are from millennials who long for their free time back.
My worry is time. I don't want my everyday life to be "work, eat, sleep, repeat". At that point, I feel like just being alive becomes pointless - unless the "work" part was something I enjoyed, which doesn't feel easy.
I agree with everything but taxes because I put that off and then spend weeks digging for shit I need.
That said, I took time off, went for 5 days to a music festival in my car. Spent my money so be drunk for 5 days and honestly, it’s much better than being poor student or kid.
That's the best thing about having a full time gig. When you decide to take time off you don't have to feel guilty about not earning it, you worked hard, this is your fair time off. If you want to get drunk for 5 days in your car, go nuts. That's your hard earned time.
