Oh. Oh shit it hurts that reading this made me self-aware of this behavior. It’s one thing to be in this mindset and not be aware of it and it’s another to have it written out in front of you. 🤢
Ya know, I’ve been saving better than most my age. 401k, savings account, emergency fund, investments, crypto, etc. and I keep being reminded that no matter how much I save, I’ll still never achieve the American dream without help.

I’m in a similar boat, minus crypto. If anything it’s made me realize how big that chasm has become.
What the fuck is this American dream anyway?
My retirement plan is a heroine overdose. I’ll try to do better than that, but I’m not expecting much.
