Between hyperinflation and vax mandates it’s hard for me to be motivated in my general life.
I was a really goal oriented person when Trump was in office but right now with the Resident in it just feels in many ways pointless to make long term goals. I mean with both the DS and the Patriots needing the dollar to implode I just don’t feel motivated to strive for better currently cause it just seems pointless.
My life is pretty much oriented to avoiding the jab and trying to accumulate as much prepping materials, silver, bitcoin, Ethereum, GME and DWAC as I can. My semi normie Dad last night asked me where my drive in life has gone but it’s hard to explain cause he doesn’t really get what is going on.
Until the storm passes idk how I am supposed to make any long term goals.
Anyone else feel the same?
You mention the storm we are in. When a sailing ship is in a storm, the sails are stored away so they do not get caught by the strong unpredictable wind gusts which could damage the sails and possibly the ship /mast. Also the hatches or other openings are battened down so there is no chance of waves swamping water into the lower decks or holds.
When you are in storms of life, generally additional caution is normative until you have full understanding of what the fallout of the storm is or will be.
Makes sense to me that this period we are living through would naturally lead many to prioritize other things over career or wealth advancement.
Good luck.
I personally think there’s something more going on. I can understand early retirement but not much more past that. There are a ton of help wanted signs but no one is hiring. I’ve heard from plenty of professionals but seen it at typical high school job levels too. They all go in for interviews but no one hires. I’m wondering if the businesses aren’t getting some sort of financing and requiring interviews to be paid? I’m sure it’s somewhere buried deep in a stimulus package. Would definitely explain the labor shortages
I have 0 evidence to back it up, but another fren on here said those help wanted signed were basically just virtue signaling. It pads their numbers, and never hires anyone.
I graduated HS in the early 2000's. They made the trades look like loserville. Pushed University path. I dropped out with debt after 5 years.
Found a couple mentors for various things. That was the best move.
Now I have learned a decent amount on many trades. I make more money than a lot of people I went to school with. And am definitely happier. Also debt free. Self employed. I push the trades route every chance I get.
