The bar is so low.
Only in America can a kid wear $150 shoes, sip a $8 coffee, and post from a $1,200 phone about being oppressed and claiming capitalism has failed them.
a theory of mine is that social media has completely broken the mind of Gen Z and millennials when it comes to work
their whole lives they have been told to pursue college, work really hard at their 9-5 job, go above and beyond for their boss, then save some income to hopefully purchase a home and family one day
all the people who followed this path are now watching their savings crumble away due to inflation. homeownership feels out of reach like never before
then they turn over and look at the 21 year olds making millions of dollars posting content on YouTube and TikTok. they are able to live with freedom, not beholden to a corporation, while also getting paid enough to afford everything they want
people see this and start questioning themselves. money doesn’t feel real in an economy where there is so much bifurcation between the have and have nots
the point of a job becomes meaningless. you fail to find purpose in your life anymore. and while these millionaires are the outliers, their content is the one that shows up in your feed over and over again
it is truly detrimental to society and i’m not sure anyone has a real solution to fix it

Underrated life hack: Being boring in the right ways. Go to bed early. Wake up early. Eat simple foods. Save money. Exercise. Read old books. Avoid drama. These aren’t flashy, but the ordinary will compound into a life that feels extraordinary. Boring is seriously underrated.
Chasing “normal” will keep you broke:

The secret to a good and fulfilling life
Unclear why 22 y/os should be paying social security $ to 75 y/o homebuyers.
It is a serious political question.
Young Americans are paying into a system they have no realistic expectation of benefiting from, given demographics & the government’s own financial forecasts.
