Well, I didn't know I had the power of controlling inflation values.

Ah yes, because that's the problem, not that after rent, utilities, city taxes and transport costs I'm left with 100€ to eat and live fir a month, no no, it's that I'm not budgeting.

You people have no clue about anything, is it?

Doesn't exist in my country because SOMEONE THAT WASN'T ME decided to destroy the welfare state.

I mean, I'm all for believing in oneselves, but these stupid motivational bullshit are there to deflect responsability from the system.

Ah yes, I can:

  1. Find another, higher paying job which happens to not exist in this area OR
  2. Find a less expensive place to live which happens to not exist in this area OR
  3. Move in a place with better paying jobs and less expensive places to live which happens to not be economically possible for me

Thanks mate, you have solved all my problems in the world, appreciate

You have the highest paying job in your state/country? Good on you!

>Find a less expensive place to live which happens to not exist in this area

Changing the place you live isn't the only way a person can spend less money. But I guess you didn't know that huh?

>Thanks mate, you have solved all my problems in the world, appreciate

If you don't believe a solution exists, you're bound to merely roll around at the bottom of the dumpster.

Humans didn't get to space by believing that walking was the only mode of transportation.

​

If you're physically unable to move whatsoever or you were born into a place like Yemen or something along either of those lines, THEN you have an excuse for why its basically impossible for you to achieve more. Otherwise stop being a lazy pos and stop making excuses just so you feel better about your personal choices(that you're supposedly not responsible for).

Really, so I guess the real estate market, inflation, taxes, the fact that my generation won't get a pension while we have to pay for older generations pensions, the fact that we are constantly ignored in political decisions because the Boomers only care for themselves, all that is somehow my fault or I am ignoring the fact that this is me doing this to me?

Interesting......

I love how the majority these "motivational" ideas are often incredibly black and white and have absolutely no depth to them at all. Like Barney Stinson's office wall.

What's really hilarious is that the boomers had "Social mobility". Single income households with excessive disposable income.

It was just meer luck that they grew up at the Perfect time. There was still "frontiers" to search for, and hire fresh grads for. When research didn't return "diminishing returns", etc.

Now? "Social mobility" practically doesn't exist. Cost of anything is too high if you started on the lower end to "work for your dreams".

You have control over certain things like getting a job that pays well.

You have control over your financial budget.

You also have control over how many bullshit excuses you make to pretend like everything is completely out of your control.

If you act mediocre, don’t complain about achieving mediocre results.

This is true, I recently tried to have someone help me get back on track, but it didn't work. Now I am by myself and my house is getting cleaner and more organized. Pretty soon I will be able to have friends over again

So true. I used to think getting into a relationship would help me make changes in my life, but I couldn't be further from the truth. Not that a relationship is bad, but it all begins with me.
