Antiwork

I’m thoroughly and utterly fucked, even though people think otherwise.

I'm 39 years old, BA, MA, earning 80k dollars, which puts me in the 85th percentile in America in terms of personal earnings…and yet I'm in an incredibly bad situation: -Student debt: 200k -Medical debt (I have a very serious condition due to overworking myself for years, and It's not going anywhere): 250k -rent: 2500 dollars for a one bedroom appartment that's 500 sqft Anyways, you guys know the drill…insurance, 401k, commute…suffice to say that EVEN by being incredibly careful with the way I spend money, things get harder every passing year. So from the outside everything looks ok, but the truth is I'm in a very dire situation. I'm starting to envy the friends I have in Europe who earn a third of what I make, and who themselves envy my “huge income”…if they knew what it was like in America man. My bad, just needed to blow off…

So from the outside everything looks ok, but the truth is I'm in a very dire situation.

My bad, just needed to blow off some steam. Take care guys.
