Why am I working harder and harder when life most basic necessities are becoming more unaffordable every year.

There was a time when I wanted to have a wife and kids one day but kinda lost hope on this dream

Then I was like okay maybe I can make decent wage and live a decent life single, NOPE can't fucking do that because wages aren't keeping up with inflation

So now I'm just living paycheck to paycheck and FOR WHAT?

Maybe I'm built weird but I don't have that drive for survival in a world that looking increasingly bleak and hopeless every year AND I'M JUST TALKING ECONOMICALLY
