How the fuk can people be satisfied with the suburban rat race cubicle lifestyle?

[Daly_City]

You dont like it??


Post 1000 threads on how:

You are going to be a CEO

Earn 10k/day as a hedge fund manager/Ecommerce genius/Own business

Bang 10s and fly around the world as an international playboy

Just like every other teen on misc


Then 5 years later post on misc asking what kind of lawnmower you should buy and what desk-toys best alleviate suicidal temptations

i dont care about being filthy rich, at the expense of my TIME spent working/in school


$50k a year is very realistic for me good enough

When I get where I plan to, professionally speaking, I'm moving to a northern tier state. Possibly northern Idaho because of the proximity to spokane. My best friend lives in cost, WY and he posts pictures to ******** and its simply stunning.

He lives life as a traveling nomad of sorts, never settles for long. Money isnt always there but he's content, to post I know he's lived in 6 different and dabbled in a few trades to make ends meet. Imo that's the lifestyle to have when you are younger just go and explore but settle down when one deems appropriate. He has endless stories

working a white collar cubicle job is a dream compared to working graveyard shifts at the liquor store.

[irollurmom]

Most people graduate college and rush straight into a job. Everyone has dreams, but mostly all of them are too scared to go out and achieve them or they're afraid of failure which is why they settle for a "safe" cubicle job. The people who are afraid to take risks are the middle management, 9-5 people.

ive already done my fair share of being transient, i would rather stay in a large metro area that has access to almost everything you can have

if i can drive and reach somewhere interesting within 30 minutes of driving in any direction i am satisfied. i dont care to be in the center of the city and pay out the ass for cost of living, i would be ok with 20 minutes away from the city but 20 minutes away from the beach and maybe 2 hrs away from the casino/ski resort

no that is depressing. anything like $12/hr is not sustainable


something around $20-$40/hr is PERFECT for a single young male

[McPeePants1]

im going the more realistic route of medical technician. find a condo with a very open kitchen/welcome floor plan, put lounge seating, big fridges for alcohol purposes, profit


ive been to several house parties of young professionals (non college) i have a good idea of how to set it up

You change your mind every week lololol...

Worse than a woman.

[simion3]

CON
You live in fuking Montana.


What the fuk is there to do there? Life is about moments with other humans not being forever alone in the boondocks

you are ignorant as fuk.

[Daly_City]

you are ignorant as fuk.

my only conclusion is that people get addicted to sticking their meat inside the same ol' crusty vag every night

It's pretty addictive.

I dont get addicted to one vag. I'm glad I have a short attention span. I pick up so many different hobbies and interests. I go through a cycle ever couple months (no bicycle)

Now you know why people use so many different kinds of drugs recreationally.

Hate your life? Have some liquor with vicodins.

Bored? Smoke Weed and play video games. Then, eat your food and fall asleep.

Like to party? Nothing beats X pills when you're in a club. Also, u feel really brave when you add liquor to the equation.

And that my friends, is how to live your life.

Oh ya, a whole bunch of family **** and obligations in between.

[Daly_City]

It's pretty addictive.

I like meeting new girls with different lifestyles and interests. Same why I have different friends. Btw most of my friendships only last 1 year, I usually meet new people by then. Due to me moving around a lot, i have gotten used to short term relationships vs old friends

whats your job?

[Saint_James]

Hunt, fish, hike, fresh air, ski, boat. No *******s. Seriously, they all move to Cali. There's enough people, just not too much. Montana is awesome. I grew up in major cities: New York, Houston,Philadelphia, Denver. Do not miss. Do not want.

Sounds awesome, man. I've been wanting to spend a summer out in a state like Montana, Wyoming, or maybe even Alaska. Get a small ass log cabin and maybe find a job doing some manuel labor around there. Spend all my free time outside just enjoying life.

The funny thing is that most of africa is nothing like that. Some (small minority) of it is, but the idea that all of africa is like that is just propaganda to make us feel like we have it really great. Most of the world is actually a lot like america (9-5 work, retire at 65 and then die etc.).

Source: I'm in a training program with people from all over the world. Including Ghana, Congo, and a bunch of other african countries.

[The Chillosopher]

There is are many reasons for this:

-Accumulating too much debt (from buying crap one does not need)

-Not saving money

All this and more leads one into being trapped into crushing debt, a viscous cycle that sucks you in, spending longer hours on the 'job' trying to come up with ways to repay the debt while blowing money on useless crap to make one feel better.

But there are jobs out there that can really be one's dream job and be very fulfilling.

Understood. I think the main root of the problem is the pursuit to accumulate goods, though. Buy the house, get the car, get the new iPhone, etc. etc. We determine our happiness based on material goods. That's just how our consumerism tends to work. Happiness is determined by external goods rather than internal worth. Or that internal worth is determined by environment. However you choose to spin it, it's the same thing.

If you could offer a million Americans to have a 4 year education of their choice which will NOT yield any monetary profit or a Ferrari (which obviously will not yield any monetary profit, either), what do you think most of them would take?
