Frank's dad at one point said when he's working, he's got a lot of money but no time to spend it, but now that he's retired he has all the time in the world but no money to enjoy it. He then goes on to say “if you ask me, the system's broken”.
I think he's right. The system forces us to work in promises of earning enough money to enjoy our lives (though nowadays the promise is you might have barely enough to survive if that) but because of the increasingly heavier expectations put on us at work, we don't actually get to enjoy life. Then when we finally retire if we can even afford to, all that money dries up quickly given the insane inflation and bills and again, we can't enjoy life.
When I think about it, it's rather depressing. We come into this life, slog it all away on meaningless jobs, then we die. Makes me wonder, what's even the point?
What do you think?
