19 Years Old and Burnt Out (Vent)

Hello, I'm a 19 year old kid who has been working for the past 2 years. I have multiple health and mental conditions that make it difficult for me to work full time, but I do anyway in order to live. I continue this cycle of thought that I will never be able to live my life. That I'll never be able to get enough savings. People could do it before but with the price of everything now, why would I even try? What's the point if one car accident is going to set me back 10 years? I want to be able to do voice acting full time and live on the road with my partner and see all of the US, and then settle back down in oregon and start a homestead.

Hello, I'm a 19 year old kid who has been working for the past 2 years. I have multiple health and mental conditions that make it difficult for me to work full time, but I do anyway in order to live.

I continue this cycle of thought that I will never be able to live my life. That I'll never be able to get enough savings. People could do it before but with the price of everything now, why would I even try? What's the point if one car accident is going to set me back 10 years?

I want to be able to do voice acting full time and live on the road with my partner and see all of the US, and then settle back down in oregon and start a homestead. I'm inspired by so many gen X who have achieved this, but I feel like it's impossible for someone in my generation with no prior wealth.

I try every day to just live life and enjoy it, but it's so hard. I cry myself to sleep at night thinking that this is all I'll ever do, work myself till I'm sore and start again the next day. All the lines of work that are profitable are going to kill me.

I don't know how many gen Z are in this subreddit, but I'm wondering if you feel the same. I have dreams that I want to achieve but in this system I dont think I ever will.

TLDR; burnt out gen z doesn't think that they'll reach their goals because of the shitty system that was built.
