Keeping it 100, the richest I ever felt was when I got my first job out of college. No kids, no wife, just spent all my money doing what I wanted to do.

The issue is social media. People feel like they need to be able to experience everything. I never thought I could live like a trust fund baby and just travel the world in luxury. Me and my friends did what we could and we were happy. We weren’t comparing ourselves to someone we will never meet on tik tok or instagram.

Sorry but you can’t live like a celeb, athlete, heiress, etc……you wasting your life trying to compare yourself to them.

And this is the problem. You know the work model is flawed, but you accept it anyway can clown anyone who speaks out against it.

I wasted most of my 20’s working 9-5 gigs. And as my salary increased in my 30’s I was working even more hours. Now you could make 70 - 90k but you’re working so many hours that you can’t enjoy it.

the chic in the vid comes across like a spoiled brat with all the crying and shyt so I get why some folks are reacting to her the way they are, but I agree with her overall sentiment tho

I swear social media got young women depressed

It’s got nothing to do with the commute

Most work is literally just renting yourself out with commute time ontop. Most ppl/generations realize it sooner or later but I think this is the first gen where the reward doesnt seem worth or impossible (retired with social security and savings). I said it another thread before but I think this is the first gen in awhile where when they collectively look to the future, it all looks bleak and chaotic. So when you dealing with that then you commuing hrs to a 9-5 ofc you gonna be like wtf is the point.

yup this is a HUGE part of the problem…my pop’s salary growing up was enough for him to mortgage a house and take care of a family of 4 with moms not having to work…struggled at times but it was still enough to get by like that…ffwd 20ish years when I got my first job paying around the same as pops made…it was barely enough for me to pay mortgage and still have money left for basic expenses…I couldn’t even afford to furnish the house…ffwd 20 years now and $40-50k almost seems like it’s poverty level and I’m not saying that to be funny or disrespectful…it’s great money coming out of college especially if you get to live at home and save up tho but for ppl looking to start/support a family making that kind of money, I can see how it would be very frustrating

North Jersey but I miss Cali :sadcam:
Not true at all. 9-5 is literally 8 hours per day, 40 hours per week. How many hours do you think a person should work in a non-flawed system? 3 per day? 15 per week?

You only “waste” time working if you don’t gain skills and increase your pay. That is on the worker to make working work for them not “society.”

She is complaining about being tired after a long day - duh. She is complaining about not being able to go out and make friends or date despite choosing to just come home, shower and eat because that is all SHE feels like doing.

She could have a full social life and get some at 11pm and go to bed at 1am and wake up and do if all over again. I did that for years and found a husband in the process.

You are making it seem like people have zero control over how they spend their time when not working. How do you know someone “can’t enjoy” $90k per year? Lol.

It’s not that simple. And most people ain’t going to bed at 1 am to wake up and 6 or 7 to go to work.

I had a job making 90k as a manager. Technically it was 40 hours, but it was more like 60 to 65. And as a manager even when you’re off, if there’s an issue, you gotta deal with it.

The same with call centers. If you work at a warehouse it’s even worse.


Everybody can’t work remotely or work a high six figure job. The people in the service and hospitality industries have it worse because they have to deal with a$$hole customers constantly.

But people like you look down on people who are in those positions and you tell them to leave.

Ok. If those positions are that fukked up, why do then need to exist in the first place? Covid called them essential so if that’s the case, why are they still shunned?

The system in general is fukked up. If you work 40 hours, you shouldn’t have to work another job just to afford rent AND food. But I digress. Inflation is out of control, credit card debt is in the trillions an people keep chasing the imaginary American Dream.

One person from tik tok speaks for a whole generation huh? Honestly, yall dont see now the powers that be are creating this generational beef between the boomers, x, y, z and now alpha? Notice now the higher ups are getting desperate. Got us all thinking we not living in the same system. I really dont see much of a difference. Just more people programmed and following
