    I’m still coasting off the success from when I was gainfully employed up until 2018. I sure am glad I did nothing but stockpile savings into a bank account during this time. I can’t believe I’ve made it this far just living on a “at least im losing money slower” basis. Don’t know what I’ll do next. I should have used my savings to buy a plot of land and a camper to homestead on since that seems to be the only way to circumvent unfair apartment rent and unfair housing prices. I think I could have lasted even longer doing it that way, live and learn I guess.

        underemployed, not unemployed. I got REALLY lucky when I was younger and enjoyed a short but glorious period of time where life was actually working out. Turns out jobs that pay a living wage are really hard to get and hard to keep. There’s always shitty retail or fast food jobs.
