Nobody talks about how boring poverty is
You work go home eat (maybe) and sleep. I see my friend go on vacations all the time, gets new clothes every week, has a therapist and living in a luxury apartment. She goes to concerts with her other friends almost every week.
When I told her I never had Starbucks or I never went to a concert she looked at me like I was crazy.
The only free or cheap things near me are the park and library. After going to the same 3 parks every day gets boring and I don’t have the attention span to read anymore 🙁 I tried art but it’s so hard
The only consistent meals I get is my home packed lunch. Then I go home and nap to avoid hunger. Then my dad comes in from work and we get some fast food garbage and sleep then mom gets in and sleeps. If mom cooks on her day off then we get a nice meal for a couple of days but that’s if she’s not too tired.
Adult life just looks so boring. Spend your whole life slaving away at a minimum wage job, too tired from work to do any hobbies. I wake up, go to school, eat, shower sleep repeat
Netizens’ comments
- Sounds like you’re still a teenager? I think public libraries offer a lot more things than just books. Check it out.
- Adult life can definitely be boring and tiresome, you are correct there.
- However you’re still so young. You can create a more fulfilling life for yourself. Take some time to just think about what interests you and think about how a college-level education could change your life.
Don’t shy away from careers that pay well. I can’t count how many times people were shocked to hear what I do in IT, or what a friend of mine does in the medical field. There are some FUN jobs out there that pay well. - I’m a different generation and I was a weirdo because I didn’t go to a mall until I was about 20 years old. No reason to go to a mall with no money. I grew up reading and playing a lot of basketball.
- Sounds like it’s time to learn to cook. Take some of the house chores off of your mom, and you’ll eat better. And it’s far cheaper to make your own food than eat out every meal.
- I grew up middle class and did what you do not your friend. I don’t know who has the money to go to a concert every week. I went to maybe 3 concerts before I turned 18 and they were all cheap. Only vacations were to see family members across the border, maybe 1x every 3 years.
