So , people with PHD in my country work for 980 $ per month.
My ill retirement fund per month is 600 $ , without me never working a minute in my life.

Soo much about how usefull college degree really is. XD
 
I'm from South East Europe, I survive 2 months with that money without any problem, we aren't all from USA where you need 50 000 $ to survive month. xD

I'm not from USA either, but the comfort I enjoy is obviously a step up from your situation. How is the city you live in? Any tourists? Any YouTube vloggers go there? I'm sure they have. A couple I follow have been to pretty much all the european countries, especially the less affluent ones, which I love to see.
 
Well, I escaped " the rat race " , so I'm perfectly okey with that. I don't need to work till 65, go to college, pay my debts and 5h1t to society bu11cr4p. So I'm kinda free. :D

I live somewhere similar to that , rural Ukraine village type of stuff, landscape and people and all that similar to that. If it helps you to describe picture.

Well we have few local comedy stars on YT, but they mostly make fun of stuff and they are entertainers .... No (travel) vloggers of any kind.

I meant foreign vloggers coming there, like Backpacker Ben and Bald & Bankkrupt and Kurt Caz etc.
 
" Lost LeBlanc " was in my country .... He took like, fieldtrip to few nice costal cities, but the thing is , they are only allowed to show nice parts of the country. I'm pretty sure my government has a few things to say about stuff which those people aren't allowed to show.

Anyway, on topic:



I'm thinking about buying myself retirement in LAOS. <3 In Laos, 500$ per month is enough to survive a month. :D

I’ve considered becoming an expat myself, but it requires more research than you expect. I liked Vietnam when I visited in 2017. Some of the other video’s suggestions are dubious tho. For me, I think it would be better to holiday for 6 months in one of those destinations then swap to another.
 
🤬 🤬 🤬 🤬 Insurance companies...it's more than a racket. It's robbery! I may as well just go in person buck naked and bend over so they can 🤬 me up the 🤬 in person. This is ridiculous!!! $1004.00 increase since 2022??? Zero incidents in over ten years and this is what I get?
 
I've been awake since just before 4am. It's now 10:40pm and I just drove an hour to get my (non driving) kid from work. Now I sit here and wait 20 minutes for him to be done. I left early because the roads were drifting when I took him to work. Then I get to drive an hour home before I can go to bed.
Before I left I had to shovel part of the driveway because I couldn't get the snowblower running. Hopefully it doesn't drift again before I get back or I might not make it in. Sucks having a hill for a driveway in the winter.
I'm just sitting here typing because I have nothing better to do and pretty much everyone I know is either sleeping or working. Lol
 
Oh look, I spent 20 minutes babbling on the forum. My kid should be out soon.
What a superb Mum you are , picking your kid up late I assume after work..makes me feel so small how I neglect my duties as a parent because of money to pay for gas and pure laziness.
Thanks for this post it has helped me today.

He normally gets off at 1am. His father also works there and he usually rides with him, but a bunch of people got food poisoning where they work, including his father, so I had to take him and pick him up yesterday. When I have to, he starts early and gets off early. It's doesn't happen often.
 
I get so tired of being nice, of taking the high road at times.

Sometimes I want to unleash my inner jerk. My dark side, my anger, my hate.

I still want to be nice for the most part, I just also want to be selectively bad/mean, and to the extreme.

I want to be bad to those I consider bad people. I want to bully bullies.
Merciless, just like they are right back at them.
I want to be heartless to heartless people.
Everyone that acts glad that it's a cold, cruel world, I want to be cold and cruel to them.
I get so sick of the way they feel like they run the place.
It's become more and more clear in recent decades, people like this think they have an increasingly blank check to be like this as much as they want, because they think they can, that no one is going to do anything about it.

The way they're like, if you're hurting, it's your fault. Suck it up, loser. "Git gud".
But when they're hurting, it's wrong because it's happening to them. No, not like that!
Turns out your precious system, your "just" world, your meritocracy isn't your friend after all.
In fact, it hates you too.

There are so many people that act like the first part, then turn around and act the second.
I want to let them know that they way they are is not OK.
I also want to let them know, I hate you. Seriously. I'm not joking, or just having a bad day or something. I really mean it.
I want to be completely cold, savage, and cruel to these "tough luck" people. Right back at ya.
You only like the game when it's cruel to people you don't like, and think deserve to suffer.
But when it's cruel to you, oh no, it's the game's fault!
Maybe if you said "maybe it's the game that sucks FOR EVERYONE" I'd have empathy for you, but you don't.
So guess what? I don't, either.
Try taking your own advice. "Git gud", or shut up.
And if you can't "git gud", then I guess you're not that good after all, and this is just your level.
So just "accept" that your life is going to suck, and that's it - just like you tell others to resign themselves to.
How does it feel? Huh?

You love "life's not fair", only as long as it's "not fair" to people you don't like.
When "life's not fair" comes for you, boy do you change your tune with a quickness.
I just feel like if you're going to take that stance, then you should love it all the time, even when it turns on you, because by your own beliefs it is always the individual's fault.
Otherwise you are a hypocrite, a coward, and a low-life.

When I complain, it's "you're not working hard enough", "not enough effort", "should have seen it coming", "shoulda this, shoulda that".
Where are THEIR "shoulda's"? Why are they exempt from that?
You know what?
THEY should have studied harder.
THEY should have picked a different major.
THEY should have played less games.
THEY should have tried harder at dating.
Why is their pain different and more valid?
You want to be all "tough luck", well it's a double-edged sword and I hope it cuts you hard.

They wouldn't think twice about being heartless to me, in fact they'd enjoy it.
They would actively take pleasure in my pain, so why shouldn't I be the same to them?
Why should I be nice? Why should I be the bigger person, what do I get for that but insults and humiliation?
More and more it just makes me feel like a sucker. And I hate that.

I'm just not good at being bad/mean though. At least, not effectively. I wasn't raised that way - which I'm starting to think more and more was to my detriment - and I don't have the instinct for it. I just don't have the killer instinct.

Why should you be nice? Because by stooping to their level—being the jerk, being the a$$hole, being the guy who is heartless—all you're doing is emulating them. People who, by your own confession, you despise, so why would you want to be just like them? By being yourself, by being nice, you are demonstrating that you are the bigger man. Essentially, you win. You may not think you're winning, but you are.

You don't have the instinct to be bad because you aren't bad. Don't let the world make you into a jerk - you are above that.
