Slap yourselves in the face with a hard dose of reality, we have it better than people ever have before. You can become an expert at almost anything these days if you put in the work, planes can take you shark diving one morning to skiing the next. Find your passion and get busy living the most amazing life anyone has ever lived.
How fvcking old are you? Ten?
Pricks like you go around blathering about "passions" and "creativity" -- are entitled little princes who don't live in the real world.
Not that long ago, anyone could pick up a newspaper, and it would have page after page of real want ads. Name of company, address, phone, full job description, qualifications needed -- not just half a page of BS ads looking for you to email personal data to data miners, or join the military. You could call the ten most likely, go out and fill applications, and by the time you got home, you would have been left at least one "you're hired" phone message. No email. No fax. No cover letter. No resume. No pre-pre-interview phone interview. No pre-interview. Just go talk to the foreman and he decided on the spot. Or maybe fill out an application, and come back and talk to personnel, and then get hired on the spot.
No way, no how, do we have it better than anybody had it before. Certainly not with the flabby, foul mouthed, entitled princess women department.
Where to fvck is this money supposed to come from to hire a plane to go shark diving -- much less pay the rent and bills at home while you're off on your perpetual holiday? Did you inherit ten rent houses from your parents or something? Did you get a million-dollar bond on your 18th birthday?
Where have you been the last decade? The high-tech and stock bubbles burst. All that was left was the housing bubble, and then that burst too. Half the families in America lost the homes they were buying. That's because they lost their part-time, temporary, no-benefit jobs and couldn't keep up payments. They couldn't even keep up credit card payments that let them live on borrowed time. Hell, the only reason they even tried to buy a house and face the increase after two years, was because they believed the hype that azzholes like you spew about how success is right around the corner if you just try hard enough. So the fake financial instruments went belly up and the credit has been cut off (fake as in speculating BOTH on repayments on baskets of bad debts, and taking out insurance in case the speculation didn't pan out). And it's even worse if you're divorced and paying alley[cat]-money or child support in addition to your own expenses.
We're living in an economic depression. These are depressing times. Any man has a right to be depressed if he was just used by some lying cheating slvt.
Without a good job, credit, or savings, the only people who live the good life are those who never had to worry about money in the first place. And they don't need your advice to go have a good time blowing money and using everyone in the world as servants and concubines.
OP, go fvck yourself.
