sorry about the state of your life and finances
half the people I know seem to have lucked out across the board where their lives just went great and everything fell into place while the other half basically never even got things started, can’t find a job, have no money, no romantic prospects and so on.
I am really jealous of some people Im acquainted with because it’s like everything just went well for them without their even trying. There’s a Chad I’ve known for years where he was never particularly smart but his dad got him a job where he worked and he was basically fast tracked into a high up position. He also married his high school sweet heart who is 10/10 and is now carrying his child. This guys “job” is basically to take out clients for dinner and discuss contracts and he has a Tesla.
I mean, I guess I should be happy for him, but I know for a fact he flunked a ton of classes in Uni and is a great example of looks and connections and luck carrying one forward with relatively little effort. His wife is so hot, it’s like he won the lottery. Another guy I used to play video games with in Uni flunked out college but his wife got him a job at a startup and now he’s basically an exec there and has told me he does <2 hrs of work a day and that it’s braindead easy. Hearing shit like that is suicide fuel and makes me want to kill myself because my job pays me jack shit and is really hard for me.
Most young men are in the boat of making little money, having shit jobs, few to no romantic prospects and if they do their options are awful, and we’re just eyeing the barrel of a shotgun daily. I just wish our lives could be different you know? I don’t even need that much, a looks-match wife who actually loves me and wants sex + a job with enough pay for a home that doesn’t make me want to die isn’t asking too much. Most men were easily able to get that in some prior eras but not anymore.
I’m frustrated by how unfair it all is — just seems like I never had a chance. And it’s a negative feedback loop, you get your hope crushed again and again til finally you just give up. I’ve come around entirely to old world concepts like arranged marriage and small family owned businesses that don’t sell out to mega corps. Feminism was terrible mistake. Online dating and social media were terrible mistakes. Modern life is awesome for a few men and psychologically crushing for most. And nobody seems to notice nobody seems to care.
