I don't care if you fail either if it makes you feel better.

i would say the same to you but i think we both know you've rock bottomed years ago

Bro, I could actually get lower. Never forget that. You can get lower than living with your mother and working at Burger King. It can get so much worse and don't ever forget it while living in your libertarian paradise of middle class ignorance. I think that might have actually been an insult but I suspect I just need another beer. I definitely just need another beer and a dentist. Honestly I think the two might go hand in hand.

to be fair i was born into a lower middle class family who lived outside of their means and by chance and hard work my father found a good job in his 40s and now my parents are finally in a spot where they aren't living off of credit lines.

but yeah, i'm grateful for what i have, but don't chalk up your working at burger king and living at home as some life is hard bs. you and i both know it's down to your own laziness and general inability to actually commit to something that isn't alcoholism.

Indeed. But don't ever think that your current outlook isn't almost entirely dependent on how much money your parents have while you're dependent on them. I'm living the lower class life, but have considered myself middle class for all my life due to my family's middle class money even though I had not much of it. Your current outlook is not dependent on your own real opinions and I can almost guarantee it, cause why the **** would I honestly consider myself middle class? And why the **** would your dependent ass think anything of a meritocracy?

this might make sense but i'm 80% sure it doesn't

I added this.

i dunno, maybe because it makes more sense?

if i learned anything from my parents it's that opportunities don't just fall onto your lap, you need to go out there and earn something if you really want it. my father dropped out of high school in grade 9 and worked a dead end job for 20+ years of his life. seeing where he's at and where he could've still been is one of the biggest things that drives me to succeed in life. i fear a life similar to what his was.

also that argument that i'm "dependent" on my parents is pretty weak. since i've started university they have given me all of 0$. i worked at the very least 45 hours a week from April through to September (i'd wager more hours than you work in a calendar year) in order to give me the money I need to buy groceries, pay rent, cell bills, etc. and also owe the government over $20,000 in student loans.

all you have in life is the hand that your dealt, and as cliche'd as it is, it's up to you to either work with it or fold. i prefer to make the most out of it.

Either wait until you have to make good on that debt or try it in America.
