Was in the south of Spain,a decent pizza and a sangria was the bones of 20 euro,so yeah,people can't holiday once a year now haha bro be glad you live with some sunshine,good video by the way,subbed.
Best thing said about these times: the energy out there is gone. No excitement, no sense of community, no curiosity, no space to make mistakes or explore. There’s a fine or a ticket for everything. Your peers will cancel you if you say something different than the norm-speak. Utterly conquered people.
YOUR GOVERNMENT DOESN'T GIVE A CRAP ABOUT YOU...THEY PROMOTE POLICIES...THAT INCREASE THE COST OF GOODS AND SERVICES...INCREASING THE COST OF RENT AND INCREASING INFLATION WITH MASS THIRD WORLD IMMIGATION... DID YOU VOTE FOR THIS? THE POLITICIANS AND LEADERS HAVE SOLD THE NATION OUT... WITH THEIR CORRUPTION AND GREED!
Absolutely. I walk around the neighbourhood of an evening and I feel like a ghost. There's a few regulars. But even they are reluctant to engage with others. There used to be a LOT more people out and about, and we would all interact. Even if just a quick smile or head nod. Nothing anymore. It's a lonely, isolating and totally unfulfulling existence in suburbia these days.
Twice last week I was overcharged. Bought an item marked £37.got home to find I had been charged £39.99. Bought a card marked £1.29 charged £1.49 What is going on ? Embarrassing having to question a 20p overcharge when there a huge queue waiting to be served
I usually only leave home just to make being home more exciting for a change haha I cannot remember the last time I looked forward to going anywhere to do anything. I do things ofcourse but it’s mostly only because I feel like it’s what I should be doing not cause it’s what I want to do or desire to do
Sorry but you are wrong. I believe that a new Great Depression is coming and it's going to make today look like a picnic. The best thing that you can do is prepare because today's people are not like those from the last Depression.
I haven't eaten ata restaurant in years. I haven't seen a movie in a theatre since 2015. I have a wolf dog and walk 10 miles a day instead. It's so much more rewarding than any experience capitalism can give you. Walking through the woods or along the shoreline and observing the seasons changing is something that gives me energy instead of stealing it from me.
@@itsMichaelJoseph so true. The last time I went to a night club (maybe 7 years ago) EVERYONE and I mean EVERYONE was looking at their cell phones or taking pictures of them dancing. It was like they are trying to convince people they are really having a good time.
Lots of petty laws and regulations are killing small businesses and destroying the spirit of people. Thus, people feel hopeless and pointless in doing or starting anything meaningful.
In 1983 in a advertisement 10 blank VHS recording tapes was ON SALE for $179.00 a VHS Recorder VCR player was selling for around $800 minimum wage was about $3hr I lived it then and feeling it again welcome to my world
I did everything I was told to do. Played sports, got good grades, went to a good university. Ended up graduating into a recession with a worthless degree. Broke my back (literally) working manual labor to get by, and from sports related injuries. I've been laid off 5 times in the last four years. My only option is to go back to school to get an advanced degree and hope I can find a decent job. Didn't work the first time around, not sure if I can muster the energy to give it another go. 6 months ago I left my girlfriend of 10 years, she wanted kids and marriage, I couldn't afford it. I was told by 5 neurosurgeons there is nothing they can do to help my back injury. I quit my shitty minimum wage job, and moved into my car. Life a scam, humans are wage slaves for the elites. The fed creates money from nothing. The central bankers enslave the world with fiat and usury. Religions psychologically control the masses. If you don't agree with them and follow along you go to jail, are persecuted, or killed in war. This place is hell. I decided I'm going to do whatever the fuck I want until my time is up.
That's rough brother. If you can try to get into tech / IT. Atleast something that doesn't require a lot of physical movement. Living in a van or car can be great if it's done right. I did 2 years In a van and I loved it. I had no bills except my phone / internet and food costs. I fix my own cars etc so that was never an issue with repairs etc. Life ain't getting easier. I feel like we were just born at the wrong time unfortunately. But that said, there's always gaps and opportunities in the right places if you can find them. Even in a broken economy. Otherwise how do they profit so hard on wars and economic collapse ? Hang in there bro, don't give up. Even tho shit is pointless ultimately, we only get one life so may aswell try to enjoy it as best we can.
I recently became a certified electrician at 20. After graduating, I attended a career event where numerous companies were eager to hire us. I told them, ‘Look, you need me; I don’t need you. So if you want me, you’ll need to accommodate my schedule.’ Sure enough, a couple of companies were willing to do just that. I ended up signing with one that even offered me a signing bonus, and I’m now earning really well. This month, I also obtained my CDL so I can travel across the U.S. with my dad, who’s an on-the-road driver. In the upcoming semester, I’ll be taking classes to enter the nursing field, and my electrician job is flexible enough to work with my schedule.
Rough Sleeping in the car soon myself. I see it as a challenge, and it's actually something I'm looking forward to. A little apprehensive, but still. Just focusing on getting to a better place.

You can still have fun at home. I drink alone on weekends but I watch music videos on TH-cam and watch pirated movies and still have a good time on Friday Saturday nights. In fact it's more fun than the awkwardness of being around people. Having to watch what you say and do. Home alone you can sit in the chair naked drinking a beer letting it all hang out
I remember when a dog was just a dog and anybody could afford one....I have 2 shelter dogs and we share cheese grits and peanut butter sandwiches....stretches the kibble a long way. They were up for the chop and happy here.
Come to Romania!! 75% of the country own land...we have it generationally. I didn't value it before the pandemic and thought everyone has the same! I was shocked to see people had no country-side homes with large swats of land. I have 3 dogs and a garden the size of a stadium...my international friends tell me i am rich and live lavish but for us here is normal. I am not rich financially but I consider myself a lot freer than what i have seen out there. Romania is very safe as a country, many Americans started to discover it and move here temporarily. We have all amenities, family values, fresh air, fresh food, no riots, eastern europe is becoming the new gold.@@aisle_of_view
My husband took me out for dinner tonight and his eyes popped open when he got the bill. I honestly don’t care for going out to eat, because I enjoy my own cooking.
I took a friend of mine out for her birthday. We like Applebee's ok. It used to be ok food at an ok p rice. The two of us with a couple drinks was 60! It didn't feel like it was worth 60 bucks honestly. Well, was a birthday, so ok. But dang😮

The video did well because there is a HUGE mass awakening of millions of ppl around the world. I used to think something was wrong with me, not wanting to do “all the things” that others were doing for the gram or FB. I’ve learned to embrace being content with less and less. I’m 42 now, I remember a time when the world was “fun”, restaurants and stores stayed open past 9-10pm, looting and crime wasn’t normalized through our country, there were clubs and bars were everyone hung out in peace, there wasn’t a new “crisis” every other day being shoved down our throats and politics were just politics. Not to mention we still had the illusion that the American dream was still attainable for anyone who worked for it. Prices seemed normal. The world has lost its luster for me, seems I’m not the only one. My goal is to obtain some land and live in a small home, be as sustainable as possible for ourselves and enjoy what is still beautiful in this world~ nature. I yearn for minimalism and enjoying whatever truth is left in this world. Good luck out there yall❤
Im 48 and completely understand this young man. My personal struggle living in today’s society is trying not to lose my humanity. In the end thats all I want because everything around you makes your life miserable. Dead end job, dysfunctional marriage, gov ripping you off etc.
I'm 31 and also in Australia and absolutely FED UP with everything in the world today. I am pissed off and angry all the time. Don't want to go to shopping centres or supermarkets, just temples of mindless consumerism. I used to enjoy shopping for nice ingredients, now the prices and greed everywhere just makes me angry. Only relief for me is going for a 5-10km run every day. But the world is F'd and only going to get worse, I really don't know what to make of things anymore. Life has no vibrancy or excitement to it anymore, things used to be much better.
You said MINDLESS CONSUMPTION. I am big on keeping anything around until it blows up. I am not pack rat but this constant buying crap is killing us. Here is an example: I cracked the screen on my cell phone. The wife says get a new one. I say why: it still works. She says well it looks bad. That is point! Just because it looks bad does not mean toss it way.
I went out camping with family yesterday, we had a blast and it was dirt cheap. Look for the good in life, gwt a dog if you need some company for your runs or hikes, ect. Lots of fun things are free.
@@levansegnaro4637 that’s great but I only have my immediate family and I would much rather be hanging with other people my own age. I spend a lot of time alone. It takes me a long time to find the motivation to leave the house to go for a run or walk, and then I come back and just feel awful. I sit outside at my fire pit every night and think. Then it is back to work and the hum drum routine. It’s all very lonely and unsatisfying. I do agree being out in nature is important and I do plenty of that. But it’s not a cure all. Life 99% of the time is very monotonous and unfulfilling.
Micheal, so many people feel the same way, myself included. To some extent we're all becoming prisoners in our own homes. Living just a normal, standard existence is almost beyond reach. The very energy to exist has been taken from us. It's a miserable age we are living in. The 60s and 70s, whatever the political backdrop, seemed to be two decades of fun, laughter and joy. That's all gone. Where it's all heading I couldn't say, but I don't see things getting better. Very sad times indeed. Take care.
The 80s were awesome too, even though there was a small recession during part of it (nothing compared to 2008 or what’s going on now). We didn’t know how good we had it!
Those seven cars and two bikes you own..you don't own them they own you. They need repairs, a battery, oil change, wipers, wash and wax, they either take your money or your time. Live below your means and you will go far !
Facts. Although I save a lot on repairs since I am mechanically minded. I repair them myself so the costs aren't much. But I do want them gone. You aren't wrong though, that's why I'm trying to sell them.
@@itsMichaelJoseph Everything you own is a liability unless it brings in money to pay for itself and then some. Even a house that is paid in full is still a liability as it cost $$ in Taxes and Insurance and repairs..Simplify your life and you will go far. TRUTH !
I’n my country you’re not allowed to freely walk the woods. A while back I found out the hard way and got a €100 fine and a fucking criminal record for it. This is in Holland. It feels like all our freedoms have been stripped away.
The trick is to go out and engage in activities and hobbies that are either free or cheap. Society is set up for you to waste money on crap you don't need. Things like fishing, hiking, swimmimg out in nature, etc are low cost.
Also running around your block is for free. Meditation is for free. Walking in the park is for free. Yoga is for free. Growing your own weed is mostly free. Tranny drugs from the government is for free. Life is truly a troll! 😂
Yes hobbies that are free or that make you money like gold panning, wild food foraging, collecting empty bottles off the side of the road, gardening, self reliant activities etc.
@@coolchameleon21 Sure, initial equiptment for a hobby may cost money, but once you have it it's way cheaper than going out into a city and spending money.
My first apartment cost $100/m rent and included garbage. I was making $2.40/hr. It was 197something and there was a few dollars left over. America is rotted.
@@jameshall915For those who eat chicken and beef, they inject those animals with growth hormones to implement rapid growth and increase weight. This is so that they can legally be allowed to be killed and sold for profit. When you eat that same meat, you aslo ingest those growth hormones which in term causes you to gain weight. Not to mention that the chemicals in boxed processed foods cause your hormones to go unbalanced. When your hormones are off balance it affects your metabolism which then causes you to become insulin resistant. The more insulin resistant you are, the more you will gain weight and not be able to lose it.
These days I just want to be home, in a lawn chair, with a beer and my bbq. The only time I want to leave is to walk the dog or walk in the woods. My mantra has always been "chapters in life". This dark one has been a while but hanging on for brighter days. All things must pass, I hope 😳. Good rant, you're not alone.
Pretty soon they will have cameras in your house watching you 24/7. Next will be the chip they put inside you to control you the agenda is working out good
Some of us 50+ think your generation works very hard, deal with lots of stress, just to have things you should be able to obtain continue to move further and further out of your reach. We hate this for you. My two adult sons (with no families of their either) work hard and it takes most of their incomes just to have their own places, vehicles, pay bills, and have some fun money. They each came home a couple of times, one for a year to save up money, the other for two years to get completely out of debt. Then the little birds flew away again, armed with a bit of extra cushion money. I see the pain, it's now awful out there. "Funny" story; when I was 7 years old my friend's dad was a mailman and mom a stay at home with 3 kiddos. This mailman could pay for a 3 bedroom, 2 bath house, with this job alone. It's just sad today.
I said that when McDonald's wages were $8 an hour and a gallon of gas was $4.75. ....1 hour work for not even 2 gallons of gas. I said that to the worker. I feel bad for them even though it was a high school job for him. He has no money for his girl friend on a date. Not fun these days. 😒
Yes, we are ripped off. Demokratic institusions are down. As a Norwegian I se EU changing laws to make a dictatorship. Norway is not even part of EU but the big shareholder globalists are ruling every thing. I feel bad for how my grown kids are treated. The change began in 1987 with the bail out of the banks and ruin of people. The hyper greedy 1% and their puppets are thiefs. Nothing left for the youth if not among the exlusive elite. Its feudalism on steroids. Capitalism just for the 1% . The rest are slaves. The agenda 2030 say all borders will be removed. The great reset is the last money transfer when we go digital and all our information is on a chip. The chip is not controlled by us. But the 1%. Its all written in EU documents. Claus Swab, top EU byrocrat say " you will own nothing and be happy". Modern coup is upon us. In England a lady said she did not like that millions of illigals burn down her village. She was arrested for saying that. Mranwhile the criminals get out of jail to make room for people who just speak against the establishment agends. In practise free speech is criminal. Politicians work for the globalists/ 1% and they owns the media. They will own everything and have freedom to travel. And continue to live in extreme luxury. No wonder the young and the entire culture is depressed. We know things are not right and its getting worse and worse.
“Everything just takes everything from you”. I was thinking this just the other day. We went on “vacation” last year and it was so fucking stupid how expensive everything was. I didn’t even enjoy any of it and spent a stupid amount of money to not even enjoy something. Bizarre world we live in
Took family out to universal for Mario land. It was packed with kids and adults alike which is fine but they had timed entries and it was filled to capacity anyways. Then we bought a wristband for their points and they even had a worker that double checked the kiosk machine receipts as the area was shoulder to shoulder. We go through the rides/games and we get to the last section and it only allows entry to the wristband user or a child and parent… man I was furious cause I spent most of the day there, rides were dumb mini games focused on the theme (think press some button, team wack a mole, spin a wheel and roll off the character) and the best part is that one ride didn’t register the mini game points and the gun broke after we waited 2 hours to get on it. I honestly didn’t care until I was denied entry into the last section and I remembered how they had that worker checking receipts but didn’t inform us about the last section required a wristband… I felt ripped off since it was a charge upon charge upon charge going through the park. I expect some of it but they knee capped the experience and didn’t plan the experience. I shouldn’t have expected more but I did.
I find this also. I save money to travel some place. We get in the hotel and start sight seeing. Then the reality hits we burn through all the money on just food and really did nothing. I could have stayed home and watch TH-cam.
@@ElmerGLueyep, took a girl to Miami and Orlando only to have spent like $2000 each time in order to have food that I can expertly cook at home and have the same fights at home for free
As a lass of the lower class.. As a kid we always went camping and then car rides. I live rural so the long car rides are fun. We hit up garage sales, farm stands, eat at a cheap diner and turn back home. The Six Flags near me is garbage. Everything sucks, LOUD obnoxious music, rude people. It used to be a place called Story Town (Lake George). Y'all should look it up. It was all story book themed, we walked through an Alice in Wonderland themed wooded area, swan boat rides, tiny villages with buildings just tall enough for a child to enter, such fun.
@@jenniferw1595Did old people and disabled people stop eating out to avoid getting covid? No! You could take your mask off once seated 😂 hope you’re up to date on your boosters.
Yeah. I'm SICK of it. Every time You buy anything the damn machines asks for a tip-10, 20, 30 per cent or a "custom",amount. The crazies everywhere too makes me stay home much much more. Either trying to destroy your peace of mind or take everything from your wallet. Sickening.
I'm 32, I barely go out. I still live with my folks, I doubt I'll be able to own a house, let alone a condo or anything. I'm just amazed at how people think this is "normal" or "acceptable" like..... in what world is a condo worth 450,000 dollars? With all that said I think whatever story we're living right now is slowly coming to a dreadful end, and we cannot lose hope. Whether you believe or not, the Bible speaks that in the end times things would make people's hearts grow cold, and hate one another.... we cannot allow this. Have Hope, put aside disagreements and try and work together.
Optimism bias. If many families cant get along what makes you believe the world will. There will never be peace among men or women. Its a we versus them mentality. Besides, ppl dont like the way other ppl look.
Am in the same boat as you Jake then 30 now and this society trash this world is wack as fuck everything pointless just wish I was never born thanks to my stupid narcissistic mother for bringing me here smh 🤦♂️
I’m about to turn 40, and in many ways I saw this coming as far back as 2015, I just never was mentally prepared for the existential disenfranchisement that comes with it. Nothing in the culture fills me with joy, it’s all fake and ghey. I do fortunately make enough to own the roof over my head and make enough for maintenance and repair… but the dread of being around masses of people dying/crying inside because the death of the culture still comes home to my soul. All I really do now is listen to podcasts, work and tend to a garden/food forest wondering when these fever dream of bullshit is going to end for everyone else so we all can enjoy it. As for digital… I used to be huge on building gaming PC’s in the mid 2000’s and now I rather not be connected… I have this suspicion that the hype of the digital age is over and that being disconnected 90% of the time is where it’s as now. I mean, working in tech I guess I’d want to own a portable convertible tablet/laptop but I don’t want to be bound by any of it anymore than I am. It’s like we’ve all been bound to it now by force, instead of augmentation it’s like a g’damn symbiotic parasite. “Mediocre fuckin meals”, man, even before 2020, there was already this consensus from an article titled, “Premium Mediocre”, we all were eating this fucking slop for years. And when we have to eat it, most of the time it leaves this internal feeling like, “should’ve just made a sandwich or some fucking PB&J”
I saw covid lockdowns 7 years before it happened and I predicted 9/11 in the late 90's.. I even made a joke in 1995 at a family holiday..My uncle got his confederate flag tattoo covered and I asked why? and he said he don't believe that stuff anymore and I sad, you should of gotten the mexican flag because our border will be open sometime in the next 30 years.... here we are. I have no kids and no wife....I may be a modern jesus,
I agree only that I am 50 years old Can't believe the waste. In particular the dummying down that I have been through. My embarrassing story is about buying and selling 50 bitcoins in two months back 2011. I keep looking back and despising who I was. I had three cars and was juggling between two girls while working two jobs. Yeah so cluttered I had no vision. Regrouping yourself is the only way to focus otherwise nothing is worth the risk.
I've been told repeatedly by the Canadian media that everything that 3 letter group is on record as saying they want to implement, the changes they brag about foisting upon us, the poverty they want us to endure in thr name of happiness, is in fact a conspiracy theory and they never said that. Funny how that works
You can throw in the W.H.O. as well. Also the 3 letter agencies. Also BlackRock and Vanguard....and don't forget the men with small hats. In the end it's going to be the 🐑 that screw us all.

Youre speaking my language! Im 38 and things are just off. I hate it for my son and the younger generation because what is it for them to look forward too?! It truly breaks my heart 💔
Yeah I'm scared to have kids ont this society. It's bad enough now... And all the weird shit they say these days like skibbity toilet, sigma etc 😂😂 it's like another language to me. 😂
And even if YOU think life is good, chances are by the time your kid is old enough to realise where the hell he lives he is going to hate you for bringing him into the world.

@@itsMichaelJosepheveryone is scared to have kids. It's mostly fear of how you'll grow as a parent, and if you make the right choices to raise them. Nobody does it perfect, and the giving of your heart is a reward like no other.
Couldn't have said it better myself. It's the same story here in the Land of the Fees and the Home of the Slave. Every damn thing is a soul crushing ripoff.
@@7thNoteOfficial nope. The only reason it is better and less stressful to have less is because they made having more near impossible. When you make enough money to maintain everything without killing yourself life is much easier. But when everything is out of reach and you're dying trying so hard for it, you're much happier when you let go and live in squalor and poverty.
Everybody in this comment section needs everybody in this comment section... just imagine the power of being surrounded by a community of like-minded souls... sparks and ideas would flash and roar to life. Always someone to pick you up, always someone who needs a lift. Community with a common vision and goals. Simple living with enough food, water, cover overflowing with friends, support, and laughter.
My wife and I hike for fun. Walk in nature. Walk by the river. Float down the river. We also found a spring and we harvest our own water from the mountain. All of that is absolutely amazing entertainment. Oh and some take out food. That's it. No restaurants. No movies. Actually no TV either. No professional sports. No nothing. Why go out and spend money at some place where the only vibe you get is that they are being put out by your presence and the tip wasn't big enough. WE ARE DONE. Forever.
Luckily we don't have tipping culture in Australia. I used to go movies, but now it's like 30$ a ticket. Used to be 10$. Not worth it. Meanwhile making 800-1000$ a week is still the norm. It was also the norm 10 years ago, but 10 years ago movies and food, eating out was affordable.. And there lies the issue. Wages stay the same, everything else goes up
@@itsMichaelJoseph If you earn a wage you will forever be wanting. Job = just over broke. In all honesty I was happier earning 20k freelancing, because I had freedom and time. And yes, things were affordable. If you were smart you could stretch your money and live a comfortable and fulfilling life. Not possible now though, it's just pain and misery every day. AI took away that income for me so it's back to manual labour. I just do the bare minimum to scrape by. Fed up with this world and just want to be left alone. I am only ever somewhat happy when out on my runs/hikes, but as soon as I am back home or have to go to a supermarket the depression and rage creeps back.
I’ve been feeling this way for many years now. Stuck. I make enough money to cover my mortgage , bills, taxes, insurances, food, home upkeep and some of the unexpected expenses that inevitably pop up each month. But.. it’s been years since being able to afford and enjoy anything else in life ie; travel, occasional supper at a nice restaurant, affording any kind of hobby. Hell, I can’t even afford to host an evening at home with some drinks and appetizers for my friends anymore like frequently used to. I’m so sick of any little extra bit of life enjoyment in life revolving around money. I now stay home,I go nowhere, I do nothing, not because I choose to, but simply because I cannot afford to. The cost of the fun I want to experience in life has just gotten too expensive for me. I used to be able to afford going camping, taking a fishing trip, or even going so where tropical in the winters (I’m in Canada), but those experiences are just so far out of reach now. Life is feeling pretty pointless these last few years. I mean, What’s the point in life if you can’t afford to really live it?
@@ramon3897 Oh I fully get where you’re coming from, but from what I’ve so far experienced in life, I have to say having extra money is what made the difference between a very enjoyable fulfilling life, and an extremely boring one. My expectations may have been high, but having high expectations from yourself is what helps us strive for more out of life. I sure don’t regret spending what i did to experience the once awesome things I used to in life. I’ll always have that, and super grateful for it. Currently trying to find a way to afford those past experiences once again…
Im Erika from México, since 2015 I learned things would be grim, thats why I started preparing and moved to the countryside 4 years ago I built a house, here it is kind of cheaper. Every time I go to a city, it is a hassle 😢 it is so robotic and more artificial outside. Going to restaurants,bars, malls are not for me any more, I feel sick of the same consumerism shit. Definitly we are witnessing a reset. I wish you the best. 😊
Robotic is a good word that describes city life. And everything is indeed such a hassle. I guess in some cases it can be cool because you have access to different things. But yeah the countryside is so much better. We werent meant to be bombarded with chaos and stress every minute of our life.
Going out sucks. I go out rarely. I prefer to stay home and spend my day off at home. I keep my hobbies very simple and cheap. Artwork and cartooning, some things on the computer. Photos and videos. Digitizing things, etc... Going out is anxiety to me, and also expensive. When I DO go out it's to my local nature preserve and lunch at a local place outside of the preserve. So the only money spent is lunch. The preserve is free. Spending time alone among the trees and nature is my ideal way of going out. Other than that, I either spend my time at home, or over a friend or family member's house. My sister and brother in law live the next street over. Walking distance, or short one minute car ride. They have a back yard pub shed. Great place to hang out with a few drinks of our own, rather than overpriced bars and pubs downtown.
I used to have daydreams about what I would buy if I won the lottery. My list now is 4 things: a RV big enough for my drumset, an acre of farmland, and two dogs.
Yes -- and in another country - where it will cost up to 70% less than in the US ! Find another interest you can afford ? Try a business - on line - so you are able to live anywhere in the world with internet ! Cheap living can be had in many countries that are safer than the US !!!
You aren't the only one who feels that way and you are young, not old. What has happened to this world for it to get to this state is unfathomable. When you don't have money, you tend to stay home because every time you go out it costs money and it is expensive. There is nothing left. Besides, you are tired. We yearn to be free and breathe. The problem is finding people who are on your same wave length and that can be hard. I don't think that at least 50% of the people are going to accept a cashless society and probably more. It is their money, however, we have been using it for a long time and we don't want to change. We have been ripped off and continue to be ripped off mostly by the rich and politicians.
You know, I'm 30 years old and I had so many dreams. Started my own company at 24 broke my back workin 7 days a week. I wanted land and my dream was to build a log cabin custom with some acres. In the last few years the land and houses went up 3 or 4 times. I'm priced out now I'll never get approved for a loan or afford it anyway. Recently I just gave up. I no longer care about the house or getting married anymore because it's too hard to provide a good life. Everyday I'm think of ending it all. I'm getting closer. Every day I pray I dіе already
Man there are commune type places where people live close together and produce their own shelter and food. If you are truly down and out with society and the thought to end it is there what have you got to lose? Those type of places are where any good on the future lies. Get involved with that way of living and if it works out you'll never look back. There are such groups all over
Could you tell someone in your life this exact thing? I think maybe you should reach out to someone trusted and let them know how your feeling. Never give up!
You landed on my feed young man, in the beginning I found it too depressing, but I was able to resonate with you on so many levels as I kept listening, ITs been 2 years since I retired, lucky at 63, I have my ss, pension, my spouse is retired, we can go out to eat a few days a week/go drinking, but we just stay home more, eat at home more, hell groceries/gas is outrageous, I'm okay staying home, its just the energy is not out there anymore, I hear you younger people say it & agree, were lucky to have our own home, I really worry about my daughter & grand children, she's the one who is struggling how to be creative as a single mom, its extremely expensive these days if you have kids, people cant afford a house now, let alone rent! Going to the movies is over $100 now! I get up, & Have to tell myself "im gonna be okay today! Ty for sharing!
Thiefs/ greedy shareholders are commiting a coup in Europe. We in Norway are also ruled by the 1%/ shareholders. Democracy is gone. EU dictatorship is implemented as we speak August 2024. The last days of freedom. EU elites will take all borders away. Claus Swab, EU byrocrat and Communist/totalitarian millionare said " You will own nothing and be happy" The new digital currensy chip will be controlled by the elites. Free speech is made criminal in England.
And the service is shit too in the USA. The servers are WAY to comfortable with their bare minimum shit service! I refuse to pay for any of it anymore. I'm not tipping crappy servers, and I'm not paying for shitty food. I'm not spending money on any of it anymore. I stay home and eat quality food without having to look at some "happy go lucky" crappy server who thinks they deserve a 20% tip. No way!
Yep, same here. I waitressed throughout college in the early 2000’s and no one dared act the way these servers act now. You just wouldn’t have a job or make any money. It’s like they don’t understand that there job is to give good “service”
I used to be a server and it's a horrible job. I hate paying for crappy food/service too but I know how difficult it is to do the job day in and day out. That's why I always tip 20% or more. I really dislike going out to eat and one of the many reasons is that I can feel the misery of the people that work there and it brings me down. They are not the problem, it's the crappy job, crappy pay, and entitled demanding customers that are the problem.
What about lifeguards? They'll need to be paid, don't forget. And also don't forget the chlorine, you don't want people getting sick in contaminated water do you? There is a service that maintains the water for you and its only $500 per month for the average sized swimming hole. And parking, does the area offer enough to satisfy local zoning laws? Better look into hiring a site engineer, they'll be able to steer you in the right direction in this regard! As far as the temperature of the water, its wise to get a heater so you can extend your season, propane heaters are economical and reliable so its best to get a 500 gallon propane tank (minimum) to avoid running out! May I ask how deep this swimming hole is? If its too deep or even too shallow, better get liability insurance to cover any lawsuits....just in case. I think its a great idea but please, hire a business consultant to put together a business plan and follow it to a T if you want this swimming hole to be successful. A decent consultant is only around $5,000 usd. Make sure you adhere to all local and state laws! Have fun! Sincerely, the government and partners
Eating out is 100 percent a rip off. You can get better tasting food at whole foods. Most restaurants use cheap food and just throw a ton of salt on it.
I found you can test how good restaurant food is by eating the left-overs the next day, out of the fridge. If it tastes like bland crap, likely the food was crap to begin with.
I’m semi reclusive myself. I only go to grocery store, dentist, dermatologist & eye dr & come home. I can’t afford anything at all anymore. I’m in California & everything has skyrocketed. I don’t have a car note thank God. My rent is going up AGAIN Sept 1. My electricity went from 47.00 per month to 199.00. I had to call & set up payment plan. Unbelievable. Nuff said.
Still living with my parents at 28. Its awesome because we all save money, time, and energy by living under one roof. Fewer chores, fewer meals one has to make, fewer bills, etc. I plan on never moving out. All of the money i make at my low stress job is basically mine at the end of the day, barring some bills and taxes. I spend it on locally raised meat so i can be healthy and fulfilled, instead of paying some boomer's retirement.

@@OG-Ghost33 yeah man, most of these kitchen workers are probably overworked and underpaid. I doubt they all care about hygiene as much as we’d like Not to mention the amount of seed oils in everything, I leave most restaurants feeling unwell lol
@@HealthyWealthy808 well underpaid according to what is a good question? I worked shit Jobs for shit pay when I was young and desperate but it seems the up and coming generation filling those positions probably a lot due to cell phones just do not pay attention to do the most bare minimum quality of a job required and that’s not exclusive to anything or any one business industry. This is sadly across the board in every facet. You can’t even trust businesses to do a basic oil change or rotate tires etc without having to worry about them doing irreparable damage just doing a minor job. Am example happened recently when the person who took my after market wheels off must have used the air tool to put the bolts back in for the caps that cover the lug nuts. He drove the bolts through the cap covered stripping them out and they came off while I was driving and nearly caused a major accident
I was in Anchorage, Alaska on a trip for work. They had a gastro pub that refused to give me an actual menu instead of QR code. I couldn't scan the code because my phone did not have data outside the Continental US and I was scanning a pub's menu with my work phone. Had to turn around and walk out. Absolutely ridiculous.
Straight up. I’ve spent the past 3 years learning how to fish, hunt, forage/garden, hike/camp, etc… It’s not just that these things are free and healthy, but they’re how we used to survive without being dependent on a system that, historically, fails us every time. Plus, it’s nice to get away from it all and hear your own thoughts.
Having given away everything I own multiple times I can honestly say it is incredibly liberating and satisfying and you will not miss any of it. Others can benefit from the “ things “ which feels good too.
You're right unfortunately. I stopped watching TV in 2015. To be red-pilled since then has been frustrating. No one is interested in listening to you. It's heart breaking and soul destroying knowing what's coming. 😢
I feel you my brother! I’m turning 46 in October, got divorced over a year ago, and lost almost everything. So I ended up buying a 32 foot Class A motor coach. I had no idea where I was going to go, so that why I bought it. Luckily I saved around $20k when I was working for a local machine shop, and kept it away from my ex-wife. Now I just want to sell it (along with everything else), buy a sail boat, install wind and solar generators in it, a water maker, and just cruise the Caribbean. Maybe cross an ocean or two. Modernity sucks, modern western women suck, modern leftist politics suck, taxes suck. I’m just tired of it all.
You are not wrong. Everything is expensive. Everyone is trying to make money on every angle. They haven't figured out how to charge for air and sunlight yet, but you know they are working on it.
We live at times when we have to create our own fun and excitement. I drive around scenic routes with my soulmate, looking for road-side freebies. We have a big house and hardly buy anything as we find more than enough and love the whole experience! Being self-employed gives us lots of time to have exciting life, without going out to have fun. We don't watch mainstream media news or other garbage of this kind and don't own a cellphone. Things are not too bad! But I do agree that things are truly rotten in the world in general!
you’re not alone in feeling the sting mate. This is the tipping point of capitalism that I always thought about when growing up… socialising costs money, eating out has become too expensive. Just been staying home so much to save and happy to stay home mostly now because rent is my biggest expense, so why not? Thanks for sharing this video, it definitely makes many people feel less alone in all this quiet tension and struggle
Agreed, I grew up in the 60's and lived adventure, traveling etc.. now I hardly go anywhere except the backyard lol. Hang in there. I would like to say things will get better but????
Netherlands here. Everything you say is true man. I left security for a job in construction. I have made many mistakes in my life and this is one of them. I dread the future in all honesty. I can’t see this all getting any better and here I am getting angry and pissed off at the incompetence of the damn politicians and law makers on a weekly base. The media which has turned into a weapon and I’m watching this all going on feeling powerless as if god truly has abandoned us.
I used to go drive to london every couple months and stay in a hotel a few nights and chill with some old university friends, it used to cost me £25 in petrol each way on the motorway 200 miles and £29 a night in travelodge. Nowadays the petrol one way is closer to 45 and the hotel is 109 a night. Safe to say i havent been to london for a while.
I got this video suggested. Totally agree. It's really not worth working hard, earning money, and getting nothing for it. I live in the countryside super simply, spend very little, and feel content. It's pretty much impossible to go back to a stressful life of work and money chasing, when you live a simple life in harmony with nature.
Spot on, Many of us feel the same, Im in my late 50s and cant even Afford some new walking Shoes for walking my Dog, All the Fun in Life has been taken from us or so it seems,, U are Right,, the Reset is here,, have a great Day and G0d, Bless,,
I remember when I was so poor I couldn't afford a new pair of shoes I desperately needed. I wrote a check on funds I didn't have. The check bounced and I had to go to some school for some kind of punishment. The reality was...I was poor and needed shoes. Prayers ❤

I sold or gave away all of my stupid household stuff. Retired and bought a caravan. Now i live in a caravan park. My pitch is $225 per week as well as power that i use for the month. Luckily i scored 3 hours cleaning a week, so that makes my pitch affordable. Dont go to restaurants, the food is expensive and usually s*-t. Got to watch the scammers as well wanting your money. Just recently saw an article online about crypto and paid the $250 to get in then found out it was a scam. Migrants everywhere.
i have discovered that if I bring my own food makings, locate a good spot to flop with a blanket or even tailgate it, Cook outdoors. Take a drive and grill something with a few people or your pet. i stopped going out to eat at restaurants and now I get out and away with food I truly love to eat. My own way ;)
I’m in Melbourne just finished building out a van, I’m moving into it this weekend, I so over getting robbed with rent/bills,…. we are working to store shit we don’t need, then you have to maintain it, just sold most of my stuff and the rest has gone to the tip. I’m not struggling financially, but the value of exchange is not there, and the amount of extra cash I have to invest not having loads of overheads is awesome. It also puts you in a position of power And it’s a nice feeling wanting to work not having to work.
You have just expressed how i feel most of the time and i 100% agree with. I ask "what's the point " because it feels like you getting no where. I too am just working, pay day comes and it goes to all the bills with rent being the main one and so it goes ..
I was one of the very few young people who hated "going out". All that time wasted for no real return. Living away from the popularity contest you actually enjoy your personal work more than the 9-5 grind and getting into debt. Follow their game and be sick by 50. Here in Miami the jobs pay nothing and living is extremely expensive.
This last weekend I went to the grocery store to buy ingredients to make a torta caprese (a simple Italian chocolate cake) with hazelnuts. The cost for ingredients was $80 !!! It's insane yet the media and our politicians tell us that inflation isn't real. I agree with you, Michael !!! You're a realist. We must revolt against the oligarchs. Stay strong.
I just feel a little comfort and peace in playing old games like Fallout 2, Deux Ex, Final Fantasy because they are immersive and have a great plot. I like listening to music that no one I know personally likes and seeing the beauty of the day and night. I no longer feel like anything outside of that.
I am right here with you. We must go so deep into our souls and the essence of our spirit to navigate this era. I hope you get to build that car. It made you smile. Inspired me to make my next video.
I have seen this quote everywhere lately and where I know its context had a lot to do with a sharing economy, i want to tear it apart and say.....people who own little seem happier than those who have too much crap to look after and pay for the upkeep of, entomophagy is something humans have been doing for thousands of years, and ....people are not immortal. You are technically renting a body for roughly 85ish years depending on where you live.

Wow, this comment section is a breath of fresh air. This is all 100% accurate
Absolutely. I walk around the neighbourhood of an evening and I feel like a ghost. There's a few regulars. But even they are reluctant to engage with others. There used to be a LOT more people out and about, and we would all interact. Even if just a quick smile or head nod. Nothing anymore. It's a lonely, isolating and totally unfulfulling existence in suburbia these days.
I used to look forward to going out, now i look forward to getting home.
Feels bro
i have to plan weeks in advance to hang out. It is just too expensive now.
Exactly
Twice last week I was overcharged. Bought an item marked £37.got home to find I had been charged £39.99. Bought a card marked £1.29 charged £1.49 What is going on ? Embarrassing having to question a 20p overcharge when there a huge queue waiting to be served
I usually only leave home just to make being home more exciting for a change haha I cannot remember the last time I looked forward to going anywhere to do anything. I do things ofcourse but it’s mostly only because I feel like it’s what I should be doing not cause it’s what I want to do or desire to do

I did everything I was told to do. Played sports, got good grades, went to a good university. Ended up graduating into a recession with a worthless degree. Broke my back (literally) working manual labor to get by, and from sports related injuries. I've been laid off 5 times in the last four years. My only option is to go back to school to get an advanced degree and hope I can find a decent job. Didn't work the first time around, not sure if I can muster the energy to give it another go.
6 months ago I left my girlfriend of 10 years, she wanted kids and marriage, I couldn't afford it. I was told by 5 neurosurgeons there is nothing they can do to help my back injury. I quit my shitty minimum wage job, and moved into my car. Life a scam, humans are wage slaves for the elites. The fed creates money from nothing. The central bankers enslave the world with fiat and usury. Religions psychologically control the masses. If you don't agree with them and follow along you go to jail, are persecuted, or killed in war. This place is hell. I decided I'm going to do whatever the fuck I want until my time is up.
That's rough brother. If you can try to get into tech / IT. Atleast something that doesn't require a lot of physical movement.
Living in a van or car can be great if it's done right. I did 2 years In a van and I loved it. I had no bills except my phone / internet and food costs. I fix my own cars etc so that was never an issue with repairs etc.

I feel like we were just born at the wrong time unfortunately. But that said, there's always gaps and opportunities in the right places if you can find them. Even in a broken economy.
Otherwise how do they profit so hard on wars and economic collapse ?
Hang in there bro, don't give up. Even tho shit is pointless ultimately, we only get one life so may aswell try to enjoy it as best we can.
Go to school for nursing you’ll always have a job.
I recently became a certified electrician at 20. After graduating, I attended a career event where numerous companies were eager to hire us. I told them, ‘Look, you need me; I don’t need you. So if you want me, you’ll need to accommodate my schedule.’ Sure enough, a couple of companies were willing to do just that. I ended up signing with one that even offered me a signing bonus, and I’m now earning really well.
This month, I also obtained my CDL so I can travel across the U.S. with my dad, who’s an on-the-road driver. In the upcoming semester, I’ll be taking classes to enter the nursing field, and my electrician job is flexible enough to work with my schedule.

The video did well because there is a HUGE mass awakening of millions of ppl around the world. I used to think something was wrong with me, not wanting to do “all the things” that others were doing for the gram or FB. I’ve learned to embrace being content with less and less. I’m 42 now, I remember a time when the world was “fun”, restaurants and stores stayed open past 9-10pm, looting and crime wasn’t normalized through our country, there were clubs and bars were everyone hung out in peace, there wasn’t a new “crisis” every other day being shoved down our throats and politics were just politics. Not to mention we still had the illusion that the American dream was still attainable for anyone who worked for it. Prices seemed normal. The world has lost its luster for me, seems I’m not the only one. My goal is to obtain some land and live in a small home, be as sustainable as possible for ourselves and enjoy what is still beautiful in this world~ nature. I yearn for minimalism and enjoying whatever truth is left in this world. Good luck out there yall❤

I'm 31 and also in Australia and absolutely FED UP with everything in the world today. I am pissed off and angry all the time. Don't want to go to shopping centres or supermarkets, just temples of mindless consumerism. I used to enjoy shopping for nice ingredients, now the prices and greed everywhere just makes me angry. Only relief for me is going for a 5-10km run every day. But the world is F'd and only going to get worse, I really don't know what to make of things anymore.

Life 99% of the time is very monotonous and unfulfilling.

Micheal, so many people feel the same way, myself included. To some extent we're all becoming prisoners in our own homes. Living just a normal, standard existence is almost beyond reach. The very energy to exist has been taken from us. It's a miserable age we are living in. The 60s and 70s, whatever the political backdrop, seemed to be two decades of fun, laughter and joy. That's all gone. Where it's all heading I couldn't say, but I don't see things getting better. Very sad times indeed. Take care.
The home computers , so called social media and internet did this.
Jius did this
The 80s were awesome too, even though there was a small recession during part of it (nothing compared to 2008 or what’s going on now). We didn’t know how good we had it!
Get used to staying inside again. Monkey pox is coming.....or is it going to be the bird flu? Be a good little sheep and put your mask back on.
Read the book of Revelation, it was a warning of things to come before the end. It’s happening! We need Jesus and that’s it.
Those seven cars and two bikes you own..you don't own them they own you. They need repairs, a battery, oil change, wipers, wash and wax, they either take your money or your time. Live below your means and you will go far !
Facts. Although I save a lot on repairs since I am mechanically minded. I repair them myself so the costs aren't much. But I do want them gone. You aren't wrong though, that's why I'm trying to sell them.
@@itsMichaelJoseph Everything you own is a liability unless it brings in money to pay for itself and then some. Even a house that is paid in full is still a liability as it cost $$ in Taxes and Insurance and repairs..Simplify your life and you will go far. TRUTH !
@@itsMichaelJoseph actually having to do the repairs is a skill and makes you feel better: you feel value in it.
tell that to our theiving corrupt politicians!

Walking in the woods is basically free and will give you a much needed break from all the insanity
even that isn’t fun anymore
I’n my country you’re not allowed to freely walk the woods. A while back I found out the hard way and got a €100 fine and a fucking criminal record for it. This is in Holland. It feels like all our freedoms have been stripped away.
$50 fuel to get to the woods 😂
Where I live that would not be safe. I do walk along the ocean front (beach) where I am very visible and I can see if there is anyone following me.
not for him though, he said he lives in melbourne, there is a $400 fine for leaving the 'designated path'.
The trick is to go out and engage in activities and hobbies that are either free or cheap. Society is set up for you to waste money on crap you don't need. Things like fishing, hiking, swimmimg out in nature, etc are low cost.
Also running around your block is for free. Meditation is for free. Walking in the park is for free. Yoga is for free. Growing your own weed is mostly free. Tranny drugs from the government is for free. Life is truly a troll! 😂
Go ride a gravel bike...
Yes hobbies that are free or that make you money like gold panning, wild food foraging, collecting empty bottles off the side of the road, gardening, self reliant activities etc.
yeah but gas and equipment cost money
@@coolchameleon21 Sure, initial equiptment for a hobby may cost money, but once you have it it's way cheaper than going out into a city and spending money.
My first apartment cost $100/m rent and included garbage. I was making $2.40/hr. It was 197something and there was a few dollars left over. America is rotted.
and women were thinner back then too.
@@jameshall915The food supply has been poisoned.
@@jameshall915 Back when men actually made a decent wage and didn't expect women to go 50/50. Good times 😂
@@jameshall915For those who eat chicken and beef, they inject those animals with growth hormones to implement rapid growth and increase weight.
This is so that they can legally be allowed to be killed and sold for profit. When you eat that same meat, you aslo ingest those growth hormones which in term causes you to gain weight.
Not to mention that the chemicals in boxed processed foods cause your hormones to go unbalanced. When your hormones are off balance it affects your metabolism which then causes you to become insulin resistant.
The more insulin resistant you are, the more you will gain weight and not be able to lose it.

Some of us 50+ think your generation works very hard, deal with lots of stress, just to have things you should be able to obtain continue to move further and further out of your reach. We hate this for you. My two adult sons (with no families of their either) work hard and it takes most of their incomes just to have their own places, vehicles, pay bills, and have some fun money. They each came home a couple of times, one for a year to save up money, the other for two years to get completely out of debt. Then the little birds flew away again, armed with a bit of extra cushion money. I see the pain, it's now awful out there.
"Funny" story; when I was 7 years old my friend's dad was a mailman and mom a stay at home with 3 kiddos. This mailman could pay for a 3 bedroom, 2 bath house, with this job alone. It's just sad today.
I said that when McDonald's wages were $8 an hour and a gallon of gas was $4.75. ....1 hour work for not even 2 gallons of gas. I said that to the worker. I feel bad for them even though it was a high school job for him. He has no money for his girl friend on a date. Not fun these days. 😒
Yes, we are ripped off. Demokratic institusions are down. As a Norwegian I se EU changing laws to make a dictatorship. Norway is not even part of EU but the big shareholder globalists are ruling every thing. I feel bad for how my grown kids are treated. The change began in 1987 with the bail out of the banks and ruin of people. The hyper greedy 1% and their puppets are thiefs. Nothing left for the youth if not among the exlusive elite. Its feudalism on steroids. Capitalism just for the 1% . The rest are slaves. The agenda 2030 say all borders will be removed. The great reset is the last money transfer when we go digital and all our information is on a chip. The chip is not controlled by us. But the 1%. Its all written in EU documents. Claus Swab, top EU byrocrat say " you will own nothing and be happy". Modern coup is upon us. In England a lady said she did not like that millions of illigals burn down her village. She was arrested for saying that. Mranwhile the criminals get out of jail to make room for people who just speak against the establishment agends. In practise free speech is criminal. Politicians work for the globalists/ 1% and they owns the media. They will own everything and have freedom to travel. And continue to live in extreme luxury. No wonder the young and the entire culture is depressed. We know things are not right and its getting worse and worse.
“Everything just takes everything from you”. I was thinking this just the other day. We went on “vacation” last year and it was so fucking stupid how expensive everything was. I didn’t even enjoy any of it and spent a stupid amount of money to not even enjoy something. Bizarre world we live in
Took family out to universal for Mario land. It was packed with kids and adults alike which is fine but they had timed entries and it was filled to capacity anyways.
Then we bought a wristband for their points and they even had a worker that double checked the kiosk machine receipts as the area was shoulder to shoulder. We go through the rides/games and we get to the last section and it only allows entry to the wristband user or a child and parent… man I was furious cause I spent most of the day there, rides were dumb mini games focused on the theme (think press some button, team wack a mole, spin a wheel and roll off the character) and the best part is that one ride didn’t register the mini game points and the gun broke after we waited 2 hours to get on it. I honestly didn’t care until I was denied entry into the last section and I remembered how they had that worker checking receipts but didn’t inform us about the last section required a wristband…
I felt ripped off since it was a charge upon charge upon charge going through the park. I expect some of it but they knee capped the experience and didn’t plan the experience. I shouldn’t have expected more but I did.
I find this also. I save money to travel some place. We get in the hotel and start sight seeing. Then the reality hits we burn through all the money on just food and really did nothing. I could have stayed home and watch TH-cam.
@@ElmerGLueyep, took a girl to Miami and Orlando only to have spent like $2000 each time in order to have food that I can expertly cook at home and have the same fights at home for free
As a lass of the lower class.. As a kid we always went camping and then car rides. I live rural so the long car rides are fun. We hit up garage sales, farm stands, eat at a cheap diner and turn back home. The Six Flags near me is garbage. Everything sucks, LOUD obnoxious music, rude people. It used to be a place called Story Town (Lake George). Y'all should look it up. It was all story book themed, we walked through an Alice in Wonderland themed wooded area, swan boat rides, tiny villages with buildings just tall enough for a child to enter, such fun.

“The things you own, end up owning you”
I'm 32, I barely go out. I still live with my folks, I doubt I'll be able to own a house, let alone a condo or anything.
I'm just amazed at how people think this is "normal" or "acceptable" like..... in what world is a condo worth 450,000 dollars?
With all that said I think whatever story we're living right now is slowly coming to a dreadful end, and we cannot lose hope. Whether you believe or not, the Bible speaks that in the end times things would make people's hearts grow cold, and hate one another.... we cannot allow this. Have Hope, put aside disagreements and try and work together.

I’m about to turn 40, and in many ways I saw this coming as far back as 2015, I just never was mentally prepared for the existential disenfranchisement that comes with it. Nothing in the culture fills me with joy, it’s all fake and ghey. I do fortunately make enough to own the roof over my head and make enough for maintenance and repair… but the dread of being around masses of people dying/crying inside because the death of the culture still comes home to my soul.
All I really do now is listen to podcasts, work and tend to a garden/food forest wondering when these fever dream of bullshit is going to end for everyone else so we all can enjoy it.
As for digital… I used to be huge on building gaming PC’s in the mid 2000’s and now I rather not be connected… I have this suspicion that the hype of the digital age is over and that being disconnected 90% of the time is where it’s as now. I mean, working in tech I guess I’d want to own a portable convertible tablet/laptop but I don’t want to be bound by any of it anymore than I am. It’s like we’ve all been bound to it now by force, instead of augmentation it’s like a g’damn symbiotic parasite.
“Mediocre fuckin meals”, man, even before 2020, there was already this consensus from an article titled, “Premium Mediocre”, we all were eating this fucking slop for years. And when we have to eat it, most of the time it leaves this internal feeling like, “should’ve just made a sandwich or some fucking PB&J”
I saw covid lockdowns 7 years before it happened and I predicted 9/11 in the late 90's.. I even made a joke in 1995 at a family holiday..My uncle got his confederate flag tattoo covered and I asked why? and he said he don't believe that stuff anymore and I sad, you should of gotten the mexican flag because our border will be open sometime in the next 30 years.... here we are.
I have no kids and no wife....I may be a modern jesus,
I agree only that I am 50 years old Can't believe the waste. In particular the dummying down that I have been through. My embarrassing story is about buying and selling 50 bitcoins in two months back 2011. I keep looking back and despising who I was. I had three cars and was juggling between two girls while working two jobs. Yeah so cluttered I had no vision. Regrouping yourself is the only way to focus otherwise nothing is worth the risk.

I know, if I had you guys in this comment section for friends I'd be so much happier.
That's what the internet is for
My wife and I hike for fun. Walk in nature. Walk by the river. Float down the river. We also found a spring and we harvest our own water from the mountain. All of that is absolutely amazing entertainment. Oh and some take out food. That's it. No restaurants. No movies. Actually no TV either. No professional sports. No nothing. Why go out and spend money at some place where the only vibe you get is that they are being put out by your presence and the tip wasn't big enough. WE ARE DONE. Forever.
Luckily we don't have tipping culture in Australia. I used to go movies, but now it's like 30$ a ticket. Used to be 10$.
Not worth it. Meanwhile making 800-1000$ a week is still the norm.
It was also the norm 10 years ago, but 10 years ago movies and food, eating out was affordable..

I’ve been feeling this way for many years now.
Stuck.
I make enough money to cover my mortgage , bills, taxes, insurances, food, home upkeep and some of the unexpected expenses that inevitably pop up each month.
But.. it’s been years since being able to afford and enjoy anything else in life ie; travel, occasional supper at a nice restaurant, affording any kind of hobby. Hell, I can’t even afford to host an evening at home with some drinks and appetizers for my friends anymore like frequently used to.
I’m so sick of any little extra bit of life enjoyment in life revolving around money.
I now stay home,I go nowhere, I do nothing, not because I choose to, but simply because I cannot afford to.
The cost of the fun I want to experience in life has just gotten too expensive for me.
I used to be able to afford going camping, taking a fishing trip, or even going so where tropical in the winters (I’m in Canada), but those experiences are just so far out of reach now.
Life is feeling pretty pointless these last few years.
I mean, What’s the point in life if you can’t afford to really live it?
Exactly. Same here. Sad truth.
In this so called modern life, most are in the same boat. End game by the powers that be.

@@ramon3897 Oh I fully get where you’re coming from, but from what I’ve so far experienced in life, I have to say having extra money is what made the difference between a very enjoyable fulfilling life, and an extremely boring one.

@blackpillfitness9136 The chaos and stress is by design. Witness the fearporn pushed during the scamdemic. It's a means of control.
Going out sucks. I go out rarely. I prefer to stay home and spend my day off at home. I keep my hobbies very simple and cheap. Artwork and cartooning, some things on the computer. Photos and videos. Digitizing things, etc... Going out is anxiety to me, and also expensive. When I DO go out it's to my local nature preserve and lunch at a local place outside of the preserve. So the only money spent is lunch. The preserve is free. Spending time alone among the trees and nature is my ideal way of going out. Other than that, I either spend my time at home, or over a friend or family member's house. My sister and brother in law live the next street over. Walking distance, or short one minute car ride. They have a back yard pub shed. Great place to hang out with a few drinks of our own, rather than overpriced bars and pubs downtown.

Yes -- and in another country - where it will cost up to 70% less than in the US ! Find another interest you can afford ? Try a business - on line - so you are able to live anywhere in the world with internet ! Cheap living can be had in many countries that are safer than the US !!!
You aren't the only one who feels that way and you are young, not old. What has happened to this world for it to get to this state is unfathomable. When you don't have money, you tend to stay home because every time you go out it costs money and it is expensive. There is nothing left. Besides, you are tired. We yearn to be free and breathe. The problem is finding people who are on your same wave length and that can be hard. I don't think that at least 50% of the people are going to accept a cashless society and probably more. It is their money, however, we have been using it for a long time and we don't want to change. We have been ripped off and continue to be ripped off mostly by the rich and politicians.
You know, I'm 30 years old and I had so many dreams. Started my own company at 24 broke my back workin 7 days a week. I wanted land and my dream was to build a log cabin custom with some acres. In the last few years the land and houses went up 3 or 4 times. I'm priced out now I'll never get approved for a loan or afford it anyway. Recently I just gave up. I no longer care about the house or getting married anymore because it's too hard to provide a good life. Everyday I'm think of ending it all. I'm getting closer. Every day I pray I dіе already
Man there are commune type places where people live close together and produce their own shelter and food. If you are truly down and out with society and the thought to end it is there what have you got to lose? Those type of places are where any good on the future lies. Get involved with that way of living and if it works out you'll never look back. There are such groups all over
Could you tell someone in your life this exact thing? I think maybe you should reach out to someone trusted and let them know how your feeling. Never give up!
You're not alone! My neighbor and I lament the same things. Land, House, progress in general.
bro just hold in there.. never give up! figure a way to get out of it.. i did, you can too!

And the service is shit too in the USA. The servers are WAY to comfortable with their bare minimum shit service! I refuse to pay for any of it anymore. I'm not tipping crappy servers, and I'm not paying for shitty food. I'm not spending money on any of it anymore. I stay home and eat quality food without having to look at some "happy go lucky" crappy server who thinks they deserve a 20% tip. No way!
Yep, same here. I waitressed throughout college in the early 2000’s and no one dared act the way these servers act now. You just wouldn’t have a job or make any money. It’s like they don’t understand that there job is to give good “service”
I used to be a server and it's a horrible job. I hate paying for crappy food/service too but I know how difficult it is to do the job day in and day out. That's why I always tip 20% or more. I really dislike going out to eat and one of the many reasons is that I can feel the misery of the people that work there and it brings me down. They are not the problem, it's the crappy job, crappy pay, and entitled demanding customers that are the problem.

What about lifeguards? They'll need to be paid, don't forget. And also don't forget the chlorine, you don't want people getting sick in contaminated water do you? There is a service that maintains the water for you and its only $500 per month for the average sized swimming hole. And parking, does the area offer enough to satisfy local zoning laws? Better look into hiring a site engineer, they'll be able to steer you in the right direction in this regard!
As far as the temperature of the water, its wise to get a heater so you can extend your season, propane heaters are economical and reliable so its best to get a 500 gallon propane tank (minimum) to avoid running out!
May I ask how deep this swimming hole is? If its too deep or even too shallow, better get liability insurance to cover any lawsuits....just in case. I think its a great idea but please, hire a business consultant to put together a business plan and follow it to a T if you want this swimming hole to be successful. A decent consultant is only around $5,000 usd. Make sure you adhere to all local and state laws! Have fun!
Sincerely, the government and partners
One would think. But the powers that be are busy trying to make nature inaccessible to us serfs.
@@matthew944 in massachusetts they charge $35 to park at EVERY swimming hole and ocean...don't vote blue.
Eating out is 100 percent a rip off. You can get better tasting food at whole foods. Most restaurants use cheap food and just throw a ton of salt on it.
I found you can test how good restaurant food is by eating the left-overs the next day, out of the fridge. If it tastes like bland crap, likely the food was crap to begin with.
@@Chubbycat748 Chinese food lunch special in my area now is about $14.99 LOL! It used to be 8 dollars!
And MSG
Being in nature will make you feel better.
I’m semi reclusive myself. I only go to grocery store, dentist, dermatologist & eye dr & come home. I can’t afford anything at all anymore. I’m in California & everything has skyrocketed. I don’t have a car note thank God. My rent is going up AGAIN Sept 1. My electricity went from 47.00 per month to 199.00. I had to call & set up payment plan. Unbelievable. Nuff said.
Unbelievable especially the electricity part
Still living with my parents at 28. Its awesome because we all save money, time, and energy by living under one roof. Fewer chores, fewer meals one has to make, fewer bills, etc. I plan on never moving out. All of the money i make at my low stress job is basically mine at the end of the day, barring some bills and taxes. I spend it on locally raised meat so i can be healthy and fulfilled, instead of paying some boomer's retirement.
I dont say this to brag or anything lol, far from it. But just to offer yall some different perspectives on how you can go about living your life.
I'm alright Jack 😂
@@blackpillfitness9136you do need to ensure you carry your own weight as an adult living at home. Your parents won’t be able do maintain their health and strength forever.
You sacrifice peace and privacy when living with all those people. Been there, done that, not worth it
When you eat out, most of the time they make you download an app and/or use a QR code.
The cosy atmosphere of eating out just doesn’t exist anymore
Also not to mention it’s hard to trust the food you are getting is cooked right and not tampered with.
@@OG-Ghost33 yeah man, most of these kitchen workers are probably overworked and underpaid. I doubt they all care about hygiene as much as we’d like
Not to mention the amount of seed oils in everything, I leave most restaurants feeling unwell lol
@@HealthyWealthy808 well underpaid according to what is a good question? I worked shit Jobs for shit pay when I was young and desperate but it seems the up and coming generation filling those positions probably a lot due to cell phones just do not pay attention to do the most bare minimum quality of a job required and that’s not exclusive to anything or any one business industry. This is sadly across the board in every facet. You can’t even trust businesses to do a basic oil change or rotate tires etc without having to worry about them doing irreparable damage just doing a minor job. Am example happened recently when the person who took my after market wheels off must have used the air tool to put the bolts back in for the caps that cover the lug nuts. He drove the bolts through the cap covered stripping them out and they came off while I was driving and nearly caused a major accident
I was in Anchorage, Alaska on a trip for work. They had a gastro pub that refused to give me an actual menu instead of QR code. I couldn't scan the code because my phone did not have data outside the Continental US and I was scanning a pub's menu with my work phone. Had to turn around and walk out. Absolutely ridiculous.
I refuse to support establishments that only have apps or digital means of exchange. They can sod off.
Straight up. I’ve spent the past 3 years learning how to fish, hunt, forage/garden, hike/camp, etc… It’s not just that these things are free and healthy, but they’re how we used to survive without being dependent on a system that, historically, fails us every time. Plus, it’s nice to get away from it all and hear your own thoughts.
Having given away everything I own multiple times I can honestly say it is incredibly liberating and satisfying and you will not miss any of it. Others can benefit from the “ things “ which feels good too.
"It's just not worth it' ... the meaning has been sucked out of life by lies, the biggest of which is our money.
The situation is only going to get worse ....
The darkest before it's gone pitch black. 💀
Yes but Jesus is coming! Repent and praise him!😊
When will jesus come?
@@Investormillard is he a bad person. And how would you know he is a sinner just because he was born in it.
You're right unfortunately. I stopped watching TV in 2015. To be red-pilled since then has been frustrating. No one is interested in listening to you. It's heart breaking and soul destroying knowing what's coming. 😢
I agree! The fun is over!
Even the funeraIs cost a reaI fortune now, this is the end
I feel you my brother! I’m turning 46 in October, got divorced over a year ago, and lost almost everything. So I ended up buying a 32 foot Class A motor coach. I had no idea where I was going to go, so that why I bought it. Luckily I saved around $20k when I was working for a local machine shop, and kept it away from my ex-wife. Now I just want to sell it (along with everything else), buy a sail boat, install wind and solar generators in it, a water maker, and just cruise the Caribbean. Maybe cross an ocean or two. Modernity sucks, modern western women suck, modern leftist politics suck, taxes suck. I’m just tired of it all.
You are not wrong. Everything is expensive. Everyone is trying to make money on every angle. They haven't figured out how to charge for air and sunlight yet, but you know they are working on it.
We live at times when we have to create our own fun and excitement. I drive around scenic routes with my soulmate, looking for road-side freebies. We have a big house and hardly buy anything as we find more than enough and love the whole experience! Being self-employed gives us lots of time to have exciting life, without going out to have fun. We don't watch mainstream media news or other garbage of this kind and don't own a cellphone. Things are not too bad! But I do agree that things are truly rotten in the world in general!
you’re not alone in feeling the sting mate. This is the tipping point of capitalism that I always thought about when growing up… socialising costs money, eating out has become too expensive. Just been staying home so much to save and happy to stay home mostly now because rent is my biggest expense, so why not?
Thanks for sharing this video, it definitely makes many people feel less alone in all this quiet tension and struggle
housing is the biggest expense. Whether it is rent or a mortgage that is the single biggest cost.
I don't want to leave the house either. Outside costs $500 LOL!
This world is so wack as fuck how did things get this bad smh 🤦♂️ no hope or future.
Yep
Your eyes are wide open young man, eventually this will serve you well..❤
I believe we,in the U.K. feel exactly the same. Pissed off,broke and sick of the government. Feel for you guys in Australia 👍
Very much in the United States, too! Hang in there ✌🏼
Agreed, I grew up in the 60's and lived adventure, traveling etc.. now I hardly go anywhere except the backyard lol. Hang in there. I would like to say things will get better but????
Netherlands here. Everything you say is true man. I left security for a job in construction. I have made many mistakes in my life and this is one of them. I dread the future in all honesty. I can’t see this all getting any better and here I am getting angry and pissed off at the incompetence of the damn politicians and law makers on a weekly base. The media which has turned into a weapon and I’m watching this all going on feeling powerless as if god truly has abandoned us.
lekker wajong jongee lekkerrrrrrr
@@Arnoud-nf6iz haahhahaahhaha ik ken iemand die die heeft gefixt terwijl die geen mongol is jonge
The politicians know exactly what they are doing. Things are going exactly as planned unfortunately.
I luv the Netherlands..they invented the stock market and slavery...it's a mixed bag ..baby🎉🎉🎉..Nederland ist schon.. especially Utrecht

I used to go drive to london every couple months and stay in a hotel a few nights and chill with some old university friends, it used to cost me £25 in petrol each way on the motorway 200 miles and £29 a night in travelodge. Nowadays the petrol one way is closer to 45 and the hotel is 109 a night. Safe to say i havent been to london for a while.
wow that sounds like me: saving up to just blow money on a few hours. I need to stop.
Yep, agreed. Had the toys, cars bikes etc. Went back to van life and far happier. It's having the OPTION to f*** off that makes all the difference 😊
I got this video suggested. Totally agree. It's really not worth working hard, earning money, and getting nothing for it. I live in the countryside super simply, spend very little, and feel content. It's pretty much impossible to go back to a stressful life of work and money chasing, when you live a simple life in harmony with nature.
Spot on, Many of us feel the same, Im in my late 50s and cant even Afford some new walking Shoes for walking my Dog, All the Fun in Life has been taken from us or so it seems,, U are Right,, the Reset is here,, have a great Day and G0d, Bless,,
Your dog is so beautiful 😊seems to be animals are the only ones with soul😢. I wish you the best!
I remember when I was so poor I couldn't afford a new pair of shoes I desperately needed. I wrote a check on funds I didn't have. The check bounced and I had to go to some school for some kind of punishment. The reality was...I was poor and needed shoes. Prayers ❤
Most people want to keep their heads in the sand. You are speaking reality
Thanks mate, yeah.. and they don't like hearing it either lol
Thanks for saying what i've been thinking for years. I'm relieved it's not just me that feels this way about stuff.
Glad you understand. Thank you 😊
We are living in Dark times, people are soulless, God's Truth is Desperately needed now more than ever!

Keep voting for socialism though guys that will do the trick
You actually still believe voting even matters... 😅😂🤣🤦♂️
@@electron7659 I was going to say this; I say it everywhere because there are still wall to wall bozos arguing about which fake politician is going to fix things 😤
Voting is an illusion of choice. All politicians are puppets of the 1%. It's all just a circus.
Not socialism, pietism! Through the InGroup-Democracy (IGD) of human ecologist Terje Bongard.
I sold or gave away all of my stupid household stuff. Retired and bought a caravan. Now i live in a caravan park. My pitch is $225 per week as well as power that i use for the month. Luckily i scored 3 hours cleaning a week, so that makes my pitch affordable.
Dont go to restaurants, the food is expensive and usually s*-t.
Got to watch the scammers as well wanting your money. Just recently saw an article online about crypto and paid the $250 to get in then found out it was a scam.
Migrants everywhere.
I would love to do that, but its not possible in south east queensland, the maximum you can stay is 3 months or less or not at all.
i have discovered that if I bring my own food makings, locate a good spot to flop with a blanket or even tailgate it, Cook outdoors. Take a drive and grill something with a few people or your pet. i stopped going out to eat at restaurants and now I get out and away with food I truly love to eat. My own way ;)
I’m in Melbourne just finished building out a van, I’m moving into it this weekend, I so over getting robbed with rent/bills,…. we are working to store shit we don’t need, then you have to maintain it, just sold most of my stuff and the rest has gone to the tip.
I’m not struggling financially, but the value of exchange is not there, and the amount of extra cash I have to invest not having loads of overheads is awesome.
It also puts you in a position of power And it’s a nice feeling wanting to work not having to work.
I have been living in my slide on camper for two years now and could not be happier. Go the van Bro you won’t regret it!
they'll take it All eventually
@kabuti2839 that's the truth
Music has kept me alive this long.
Same
You have just expressed how i feel most of the time and i 100% agree with. I ask "what's the point " because it feels like you getting no where.
I too am just working, pay day comes and it goes to all the bills with rent being the main one and so it goes ..
Australia is pricing workers out of housing.
Chinese money launder's.
Aye last I heard Australia and Canada were the feminist utopia
I was one of the very few young people who hated "going out". All that time wasted for no real return. Living away from the popularity contest you actually enjoy your personal work more than the 9-5 grind and getting into debt. Follow their game and be sick by 50. Here in Miami the jobs pay nothing and living is extremely expensive.
Here in Santa Barbara California, the cost of living is beyond anyone's means. I don't know how other people manage.
I was just thinking of this very thing last night. NOTHING is fun anymore. The joy has gone out of living.
This last weekend I went to the grocery store to buy ingredients to make a torta caprese (a simple Italian chocolate cake) with hazelnuts. The cost for ingredients was $80 !!! It's insane yet the media and our politicians tell us that inflation isn't real. I agree with you, Michael !!! You're a realist. We must revolt against the oligarchs. Stay strong.
I just feel a little comfort and peace in playing old games like Fallout 2, Deux Ex, Final Fantasy because they are immersive and have a great plot. I like listening to music that no one I know personally likes and seeing the beauty of the day and night. I no longer feel like anything outside of that.
I am right here with you. We must go so deep into our souls and the essence of our spirit to navigate this era. I hope you get to build that car. It made you smile. Inspired me to make my next video.
Keep posting man. Some will love, some will hate. But who cares.
As the WEF says: You will own nothing and you will be happy you will eat the bugs and you will rent forever until you become homeless.
At this stage, renting is more freedom anyway. Mortgage means "death pledge" in french... apparently.
He also said “the world will become a much angrier place”
It already is. This is what the criminals in charge want.
Those are just empty words to me. They mean nothing.
I have seen this quote everywhere lately and where I know its context had a lot to do with a sharing economy, i want to tear it apart and say.....people who own little seem happier than those who have too much crap to look after and pay for the upkeep of, entomophagy is something humans have been doing for thousands of years, and ....people are not immortal. You are technically renting a body for roughly 85ish years depending on where you live.
I got hit with $1100 dollar fine on the weekend driving to the hotsprings, I was asking siri for directions on google maps and got snapped with phone in hand.
Argh 😖 life has become like a black mirror episode
Love is so rare in our world. That is why he, and we, are so despairing.
That's the current corporate world we live in and if you're working class or slightly above. You get nothing for your money anymore compared to 25 years ago. It's deliberate and contrived.
