i honestly don't know if i have HENRY offenses. i'm definitely better off than many people, but life is hardly peachy. coming from poverty sucks and bootstraps is a lie.

Cold on a Cob posted:bootstraps is a lie. 100% yeah, i worked hard in school and poo poo to improve life for me and my family, but that would’ve been pretty much impossible had my wife not already graduated with an education paid for by her parents, allowing me to not work and focus on college at the time. everyone who “gets ahead” does so with the help of others. it’s always there somewhere.

ive stopped buying things. just groceries and consumables now. my covid pandemic retail therapy is over i'm actively opposed to buying new thing now. i bought so many toys and poo poo that i could switch up hobbies every 3 months and stay entertained for the rest of my life. the only thing left that i would ever want to buy is a house, and that will never happen. so i guess i'm done. live as ronin that does not have to worry about money but still can never enter Real Society. it's a low obligation life at least!

when we bought our first place (in london) we’d been saving for like 6 years or something and we still needed to borrow 20k or some such number off my dad. we paid it back within a year but we were high income. it’s loving tough without help
