you sound like a guy i know who wanted to be a car mechanic but failed to qualify for the job on account of talking too much shit; but they hired him as a car sales instead with commission so his salary got 8x higher. of course he always gives financial advice now that he’s rich. for example, you shouldn’t buy a house near the city if you can’t afford one. you shouldn’t buy a car if you can’t afford one. and you shouldn’t buy a mobile phone and a subscription if you can’t afford it.
so if we break it down, his advice is: if you have a shitty job that pays you poorly; you don’t deserve to live in any kind of proximity to your shitty job, you should also have no means of transportation to said shitty job (because you now live far away from the city and would actually need a car to get to your job), nor any means of bank and digital ID access (to receive your shitty salary, because its priced outside of the bare minimum wage you’re forced to subsist on).
naturally.
it’s the whole “if you can’t afford it, it isn’t for you.” attitude that pisses me off when society is literally turning into a place where just breathing costs you money. it’s such a common attitude among people well off as well. they all think themselves ‘deserving’ of their quality of life and anyone beneath it is simply not deserving. while they did absolutely nothing to get their position beside rolling dice.
another guy i know got his job through his dad who owned the business. he has been making very good income since day one out of school (and i mean, for this guy, and the other guy - they have no degrees because back then you didn’t need one to get good jobs); but after his dad retired 20 years ago they have slowly been tearing apart the job and making the conditions crap. so he actually quit a few months ago and now he is still making some 70% more than my salary on government welfare based on his previous salary and he has the gall to complain that he can’t figure out his economy. like bro, you’ve been giving me life lessons on money management and telling me i shouldn’t live outside of my means and now that you took a hit to your income but still have 70% more than me then suddenly the economy is too hard to manage? take your own damn advice for once and cut down on your frivolous expenses lol. like, do you really need to buy that camera part which costs 4 times your salary? is it vital? how often do you use the camera, once every 3 years? yeah i don’t see you bleeding mate.
