Work Hard? Are you fucking kidding me?

Less of a story and more of a rant with some story.

Poor people understand faith as hope. Rich people use faith as justification for their money/success.

I'm poor but faith seems completely ridiculous. Faith in what, that things get better?

I'm lucky to have a job, I'm also miserable. My medical, school and credit card payments are more than I make. My younger brother committed suicide 5 years ago and my mother died soon after from depression. My Dad hides his finances under my tax return to gather social security.

My car starts most of the time but its about done for. My neighbor smokes two packs a day and the central air blows it straight into my apartment. I'm really tall and skinny so clothes don't fit. I have terrible allergies, asthma and indigestion. I physically feel like shit all the time.

I need to keep my job for medication. Otherwise, I'm out of America. Maybe I am anyway. The spend / work cycle insane. I'm 29, I did a financial analysis today.....In 20 years I will break even. So at 50, I'm back to where I started at 18?!? University and Masters was a bad idea.

I bought into this idea of hard work, school, good job. Will this education / debt gamble work? Maybe for some but not everyone. This is where faith comes in. If you believe, you struggle the 20 years. Maybe the cubicle grind works if you don't die from diabetes first.

Right now...I'm thinking, just walk away. Some jackwagon can buy my stuff, I'll abandon it in a storage locker outside Boise. Just take my mind to another country. Start again. I'm American through and through but I can't hack it here.

Maybe tell me...should I just commit to always being in debt? Does that make it easier? Why work so hard so the owner of the company can eat McDonalds everyday and get fatter? He is not doing anything with his prosperity, not helping others, not even being a cool guy. I just hear him getting fatter everyday along with everyone in my office. Its not good.

Women; some like me. I destroy any relationship because I'm not willing to do this traditional life. It doesn't add up. I can't commit to this and you should know that now. Its not going to work because I'm literally going insane. Hard work pays for the lucky. The unlucky can eat just struggle. The bigger fear....is mo money mo problems. Debt and finance and bills and work work work for some douche is the future regardless of income.

I'll do it different or fail. I'm not sure how. Dead brother, mother; you were emotionally damaged from this grind and it killed you. I'll beat it, no matter how bad things suck. I'll figure it out, find love that gets it, income that avoids greedy ownership.

its not faith that drives me, its because I can.

smlaa,

I think you should drop everything (life, debt, etc.) and move to another country, like you said. there is nothing better than a fresh start, I am thinking about doing that myself.

Life is hard, no doubt. Only the lucky few live the ideal lifestyle of a balanced life between work, family, and having a social life. The rest of us just dream of having it. I've been chasing that ideal life but haven't even come close to acquiring it, and I'm almost 50 years old. But it sounds to me you are determined to make something of yourself despite your hardships. I'm cheering for you man, hope you do it. If I can't do it I hope some other worthy chap can. Best of luck to you.

My struggle is different than yours, but very much the same. I feel much like you, overworked with no time for Enjoyment, happiness, relaxation, or anything else. If you're not ahead you're behind, at all times. If you're not working productively at all times, you're falling way behind. You sleep too much, you have a hobby, you have too many priorities, you're falling way behind. you make a mistake, you're falling way behind. Life is work. We are a product of our immediate environment and genetics.

people tell me all the time about this faith crap, this God, or supernatural being that helps. Funny thing is, I never see God doing my paperwork, I never hear God giving me advice, I never feel God giving me any courage to fight my battles. All I feel is me, and my inner-conscious telling me to not give in, otherwise I don't survive.

Life is a War.

This is what I refer to as the "typical American plan for life".

1) Born
2) Next 18 years go to K-12. Get diploma.
3) Go to college for at least 4 years. Get diploma.
4) Get a job/career...whatever "career" means.
5) Get married.
6) Purchase home.
7) Have children.

This seven-step American plan is the plan that is destroying many lives and making people very unhappy. There are AT LEAST 3 things wrong with that plan. Can you find them? If you don't agree with that plan, you are one of many buddy...one of many. Most of the time, it's just something people follow BECAUSE THEIR PARENTS DID...No! Other! Reason!
