I did everything right. Work, education, savings. For 17 years of hard and honest work (I am 34 now, started with 17) I have NOTHING to show. I live in a 42 square meters rent apartment, own no car, nor anything else. For 17 years of did everything as I was supposed to, I have NOTHING to show. I am not a gambler, a drinker, even not a smoker. All my money goes into living half decent. Did I mention I speak 4 languages, have a degree, but also know how to work with my hands? That I am really (was) motivated worker?
Where is my house, my car, my wife, and my family? For WHAT have I done all this? Even the shittiest home would massively indebt me for the rest of my life.
But what do I have? Taxes, shitty work schedule, HR department from hell, and only one thing is sure: it is going to get worse; so I will work more, earn less, and pay more taxes.
I do actually pretty well – around 50 000 before taxes a year in Germany + 2500$ in bonuses and 13th salary, and stable unionized job. Far above average salary. I am even afraid to think how is it for those below me.
I mean, just fucking FUCK everything. I have Joker moment here, and I do not know if it will go away. Motivation to do anything job related is BELOW ZERO. Just fuck this society.
