I’m 22 and have $158,000 – and still feel broke in this inflationary economy

As the title says I’m 22 with 158k in my investments (crypto gains). I put 10,000 initially in Ethereum in 2020 when covid hit and that money came from my unemployment and savings. Flash forward to now and I have a small amount of money. However it’s just not enough. Being 22 and living with my parents I just can’t bring myself to use even $1,000 of that money because I want to be responsible and try to retire early. I don’t want to work in these back breaking dogshit jobs the rest of my life. I make $18 an hour at my current job and I come home stiff and sore every day. Absolutely can’t stand working anymore. Anyways I do feel a sense of security with the money I’ve made however I just need more. It’ll never be enough. I can’t live off that money for the rest…

Anyways I do feel a sense of security with the money I’ve made however I just need more. It’ll never be enough. I can’t live off that money for the rest of my life. After buying a house + other expenses it’ll really not be that much. So all in all, we’re all doomed to fail and life is too expensive at this point and I’m waiting for this monetary system to collapse.
