Empathy. A lot of people who give such advice don't have it. And while I don't know your situation, I, too, can relate to working hard my whole life and still having nothing. I sincerely hope you can find peace amongst the madness.
Being middle class is actually being gangbanged by both corpos and the state. One sees you as a simple pawn that can be exploited and the other considers you to be a rich guy that must be heavily taxed
I goto work knowing there should be some class solidarity. Unless there is a EO in your title you're with us, sorry. The wealth gap between the rich and the extreme rich is enormous.
Unfortunately, the haves don't see it that way and lord over everyone with their "fancy teslas" or what ever the dum shit they think is a status symbol.
I find it difficult to believe that most people don't have a spare 30/45/60 mins in their day where a hobby can be pursued.
People will spend that time scrolling social media, or watching TV, but then complain that they don't have enough time for their own hobbies or well-being.
The 5 day, 40 hour working week, is definitely outdated and I would argue for change, but people don't help themselves on this particular topic. Get a life, get some hobbies.
Yeah lemme just hop into my time machine and hit reset so I can have time to do more than just have a quick wank and an hour of gaming before I go to bed for my minimum 5hr sleep.
