i sometimes find myself thinking “why did no one warn me that being an adult would suck so much??” but the answer is pretty obvious. for many of us, for a while, it didn’t suck quite this much. there used to be hope for the future - the idea that steadily working hard could get you somewhere comfortable. this was true for many of our parents and grandparents who, if addiction, abuse, or mental illness didn’t steal their lives away, could reasonably expect some kind of return on the investment of their education and labor. not only does this not happen now, but we no longer even have real hope that it ever will. financial stability feels like the insane pipe dream it’s been for the last 15 or so years. the uncertainty and hopelessness is crushing.  to make it worse, we’re constantly gaslit by older generations who grew up with more financial prospects and more purchasing power than we’ve ever known. they blame not only our own problems on us, but their problems and those of the economy as a whole. I’m turning 30 this year, and I feel more uncertain, powerless, and hopeless than I did at 18 and economic trends suggest I have good reason for feeling that way. it’s so hard to stay positive and motivated. i don’t want a mansion or a private jet. i don’t want fame. i literally just want to be able to live with a little stability and self-satisfaction. i’m tired of feeling scared and unheard all the time. i know from a lifetime of studying history that when an entire generation feels this way it can lead to revolution, but also to very, very bad things. please, please make the interesting times stop. i don’t want to live through them anymore.

Hi Snape-friends,

I wanted to let you know that I appreciate all of you. I was never allowed to make internet friends when I was younger (got grounded whenever I tried) and I'm not great at making friends irl.

I don't know where I'm going with this but thanks for being my friend.

The Severe Impact Financial Debt Can Have On Your Health

The Severe Impact Financial Debt Can Have On Your Health

There are people who live above the poverty line and think that debt is something that will never affect them. That’s not the case at all. Debt can affect anyone. Life is so unpredictable, especially in these complex social and economic systems we have these days.  We hear in the news all the time about millionaires who become bankrupt due to an addiction to spending above their means.

How is a hard drive of well tagged MP3s and FLACs more out of date than CDs? Tapes? I don’t think anyone I know has listened to a tape in the last decade.
