  I don't get nearly as much family time as I want.
  I have a list of chores and errands to run that I never have time for.
  I have a stack of magazines and books I don't have time to read. Same with shows, movies, music, etc. 
  I barely have time to work out and try to stay healthy and I'd love to do a lot more working out.
  I'd also love to just explore all the things I want to do and don't have time.
context: I think the major reason people think adulthood sucks is money. You’re lucky if you think the only stressful thing about paying bills is the time it takes to write a check or set up auto payments >
  
  Well you also need to find a job and stick to it, how's that a problem >
  
  Rent in my city is $800. There is chick I worked with at McDonald’s that had been there for like 10 years. I’ll never forget her. 
  She’s had two jobs her whole life, 37, had kids and still has one living with her, and barely makes rent. I told her why don’t you get a better job? 
  She said, I have no fucking time for job interviews, nowhere is close enough, I only have my diploma, I work 6-7 days a week, 10-12 hours a day, and I don’t have a car. 
  She walks everywhere. And lives in an apartment that’s only $800 a month in our city! Sounds like a hell of a way to save money, right? WRONG! It’s fucked, after rent, insurance, food, she still barely has any money for food. I used to buy her food, working at McDonald’s while in high school.
  How can you save up money for college, a down payment on a car, deposit for cheaper rent, if you can’t afford to eat, already working constantly????
  America is fucked. 60% of households are paycheck to paycheck. Comfortable living wage is 60k. Average is 35k. You should know this, yet you’re blind. Learn for fucks sake. >
  
  "I don't have time for interviews" is the most made-up excuse, I can't even believe someone has used it. It's not anyone's fault she's in this situation. >
  
  Yeah right she should just go to the job interview on the 8th day of the week when she doesn't work /s >
  
  She can call in sick, take a day off (when it's possible), or move to a 2x cheaper place (a room) for a few months until she saves enough to survive 3 months, then give her notice and be free to go to interviews. She can get another part-time job until she saves enough to do the same. She can move to a cheaper location etc. I'm not saying it's easy or nice >
  
  Fuck yeah, that'll give her like 5 days worth of interviews if the company agrees to a specific date notified weeks in advance and no place for her kids to sleep. Stellar plan. >
  
  Why not sleep in the same room as her kids for a few months? She can also apply to many companies and explain her situation. >
  
  imagine thinking companies care about your situation omegalul >
  
  Haha, I didn't say they are a charity like most people downvoting me expect. But you can say "I am free for an interview on X and Y dates/days of the week" in your motivational letter and say why you want to change your job. >
  
  The positives far outweigh the negatives. For example, I can eat cake for breakfast >
  
  See that's where you and I are different, for me it's like. "I never have to eat unhealthy food again, since I can chose my own meals" >
  
  The people who view adulthood as great because they can eat whatever they want will be in for a rude awakening in a couple decades.  You can often borrow against your future bodies health for a long time though before those debts are called in >
  
  True, though I think if you suddenly start to practice good diet and exercise in old age, you can be in phenomenal condition, well above average. We need more grandma and grandpa body transformation montages! >
  
  I’m only 31 and no amount of good diet and exercise will get me back to phenomenal condition. You gotta take care of it in the moment. >
  
  I don’t believe that. People have turned their lives and health around at much older ages. >
  
  Oh of course they have! And I’m happy for them! But it’s not always possible to make it that far without irreversible damage happening first, is what I’m saying. If I had taken better care of myself in my 20’s, I wouldn’t have tendinitis in my elbows, a hemorrhoid, and a hernia. Years of neglect and those things (or the affects of them) are with me forever. >
  
  I think some of that is just bad luck. What did you do to cause those things? The average person your age would not have such problems just living a normal life, even if they did not take any special care of themselves. >
  
  Working a lot and drinking heavily in my early 20’s. >
  
  Lol paying bills isn’t stressful because the physical act of paying them is difficult it’s the spending most of your time earning the money to pay them and the high stakes consequences of not being able to do so that sucks >
  
  Fr i love me some paid bills  and i love working but sometimes you just wanna lay in bed >
  
  You...love working? >
  
  I love working too. It's sad how normalized it is to hate work. Obviously some dead-end jobs suck, but the same people seem to say "I don't live to work, I work to live" everytime you suggest doing something more challenging >
  
  I honestly think it's sad how normalized it is to say we love work.
  If you won billions, would you keep working exactly the same way with no changes? 
  If your answer is anything other than an immediate yes, you don't love working. >
  
  I would 100% not be okay if I had nothing to do all day than sit in bed watch YouTube and hang out
  I love working and would continue to code most of my day if I ever won the lottery, but I would never buy a lottery ticket tbh >
  
  Who said you had to do that? Plenty to do.
  I have way too much to do even if I never work again. >
  
  like?
