Genuinely, what's the point of working if 80% of your income goes towards basic necessities ?

>>60738959 (OP)
only 30% of my income goes towards basic necessities (rent, food, gas, bills, random amazon crap etc.). Used to be 15% or so but I reduced my working hours. I get your point tho.

>>60738984
gz, you're in the minority
the median salary in canada is $40k
rent is $2k+ per month unless you live with 20 smelly indians
A car costs $200-$400 per month for insurance and an additional $200+ for gas and maintenance
Food costs $300-$500 per month
Congrats, you have $6000 remaining for an entire year of wageslaving :D

>necessities
it's in the name they are necessary you have to be able to afford them somehow

>>60739059
thank you for your insight mister goldstein

>>60739063
how else are you supposed to pay for the electricity bill? this gaming PC won't power itself.

seriously, no one would work if UBI was common thing.

>>60739072
you're the one suggesting ubi, schlomowitz
pay a livable salary so you don't have to work until you're fucking 95

>>60739107
I'm not hearing any answers to my initial question. that answers your question however. people work because they have to pay for the necessities.

>>60739114
and what of the people who work that don't even earn enough to pay for basic necessities ?

>>60739123
go pray at them at the church man. justice doesn't exist. what do you want me to say?

>>60739128
ok.
so your solution is to become tolerant of your torment, no matter the severity.
got it.

>>60738959 (OP)
Have you considered finding a way to make more money instead of complaining about how poor you are?

>>60739139
what's your solution, crying on an internet board how wages aren't enough? there is no solution.

Cut out video games and anime

>>60739148
the solution is to not participate

>>60739141
wow you can just find it? never knew about that. just doubled my income, thanks!

>>60739156
and include what stupid bastard?

>>60739162
how is that a solution? you cannot pay your necessities and no one gives a shit.

>>60738959 (OP)
so you get experienced enough to get a better job and eventually less than 30% goes to basic necessities.

>>60739162
then be prepared for the consequences of not participating

>>60739167

>>60739170
peace of mind ?

>>60739200
you're not Diogenes, you're a clinically retarded wageslave.

>>60739156
>cut out things that are free
And this will help how?

>>60739218
I've been a neet for the past 7 years

>>60738959 (OP)
You've got to become better than average, but the average, and most people, will never be more than average, or else the average would increase.

Its all a big circle jerk contest, and the more people save, the less they will be paid, and the more they earn, the more the government will take.

We're all being squeezed into a slave cast system.

>>60739114
Being forced into perpetual substance is exploitation.

Stop smoking
Stop drinking alcohol and Soda
Eat at home
Learn to cook healthy

You can beat the average earner with the right strategies, but if everyone does this, the workforce loses it's collective bartering position of being too close to rock bottom to pay less.

>>60739232
let's see how long that will last.

>>60739232
where u get ur money from ? selling blood bussy ?

>>60739059
hey bud here's how it works right now:

banks print money -> lend money to corporations -> corporations pay retards working their fake useless jobs

use your big redditor brain and figure out a way to for this system to skip a step. you can do it

>>60738959 (OP)
This are this way because the financial system is a wealth-extraction tool and the host has been sucked dry. The time to start stacking metals while we wait for a correction is now.
The economy has not grown, without the expansion of credit, since 1983. Real economic activity has been destroyed through trade deals and international-wage-arbitrage. All of it was in service to king-dollar. But despite being flooded with peak everything, the economy still needs cheap inputs. (access to illegal and slave wages, as well as consumption financed by foreigners who allow us to run up $700BN trade deficits per year). So despite all of the things you see around you, our wages have been decreasing along with leveraged assets (house, cars, education, medicine, etc) all skyrocket.
It's really that simple folks. It is an axiomatic truth: the system is stealing resources. The trick is you and I give up real world time, labor, and savings and Wallstreet steals it and gives you a Treasury bill (pensions, 401ks, social security, insurance, medicare). A Treasury is realistically only good if we all decide to fork over $300,000 each. LOOOOOOL. That's what we have been tricked in to buying in to this whole time.
It's an absolute stinking pile of shit.
Don't take my word for it, ask the central banker himself.

>>60738959 (OP)
because thats what you have been taught from kid is the right thing to do and couldn't possibly think of any other ways to live

>>60738959 (OP)
Rn our necessities are 4k a month and we make 18k a month after taxes

The GME short squeeze thesis is real.
If you look at 2008 and the price action of the market as well as Volkswagen, you will see that the short-covering was causing the market crash. GME is a repeat, and if you want to make insane amounts of cash at the same time when the market is giving you a fire-sale then GME is the investment of a lifetime. (You can even sell covered calls as well!).
Hedge your GME shares with physical silver and you are ALL going to make it.
