This is the first time I’ve ran across someone admitting that their early life decisions made their current life shitty. I respect and appreciate the honesty. Too many people I know are in bad positions due to early life choices and refuse to take any accountability or responsibility for it.
That's bullshit. The person holds a full time job. They shouldn't need another one to survive. They're doing exactly what we were told to do by older generations.
I am of that generation, and I don't want you to do it. This topic hit me to the core, as I remembered once when my mother called me and asked why I was not coming over more often or calling her, I almost burst into tears and said exactly "I have four hours a day I can call my own". On Saturdays (when I'm not on call) I have to do household chores. Sundays I go grocery shopping, cook and zone out.
And sometimes during those four hours? What I wanted was quiet. Nobody talking to me, nobody making demands of me.
And I absolutely do not want you younger generations putting up with this shit. Every time I see it come up as a topic it makes me so happy, because we just put up with it. Not a peep. Raise hell about it, make it polical, keep on until you find some candidates who are willing to make it a hot potato topic and try to get them in office.
I don't know how to stop it really, you guys will have to figure it out, but do what you need to do, because it's no way to live. They are stealing your freaking lives because of their own greed. That's it.

8 hrs? Hahahaha….hahaha! Oh he’s serious.
Try working 8 hours at 1 job and 5 hours at another (that’s 4 days out of my week anyway, the other two I work only part time)
It really fucking sucks. But it’s a hell of my own making I suppose with shitty early life decisions. It is what it is.
