As someone with insomnia I think and stress about this fact nightly. It haunts me
What do you mean you can’t just live off adderall for years
Telling my boss I’ve been working for 3 days straight so he increases my daily office cocaine ration
That sounds like a great way to get burnt out and physically ill for years, perhaps irreversibly so.
I know because I’m recovering from a similar situation.
Nah I’m good, I think I’ll sleep. zzz
Yeah those savings will be wiped out by health problems from working two full-time jobs and only getting 3 hours of sleep.
Hopefully she’s in a country that doesn’t have private health care. But yeah, either way, the health problems that will come later on won’t be worth the money saved.
This is basically the state of tradework as it stands right now
What is “tradework”?
To me that’s electricians, joiners, gas installers…
Yeah you got it. All these jobs put a huge strain on your body and although they pay more than non trade work all that extra money will eventually go to health problems you accrue over the course of your career.
Very true. Thanks for answering.
No problem. I’ve been doing long hours in the trades for a while. I’ve recently had this revelation myself and started looking for work that more around the 40h mark instead of the expectation of doing overtime. Still in the trades though since that’s what I know, but when it really comes down to it the only people who remember all the overtime you did will be your children.
the only people who remember all the over time you did will be your children.
Very true. My dad worked a lot. It provided a great life for us. Not spoiled, but never without. Its a hard balance.
Lacerna, a 28-year-old part-time content creator near San Francisco, wants to save $100,000 to put toward a down payment to buy a house.
Okay first I was gonna say “content creator” isn’t a real job but then saw she’s making $28 an hour as a fucking barista, that’s wack
It’s san francisco though. The cost of living there is fucking insane.
LOL $100k as a down payment? Aren’t houses in SF like $1.5M? Might as well just accept it’s not happening tbh.
She could get some type of assistance as a first time homebuyer and start out with a crappy rate until she’s able to refinance. Better than paying a landlord. I imagine her rent is astronomical.
She’s fucked then. Isn’t capitalism great? Isn’t America great?
: “Whoa, why are you upset about the health problems? Think about how great health problems are FoR tHe EcOnOmy!1!1!”They are one sleep deprivation-caused car accident/stroke/heart attack away from being six figures in debt and permanently incapable of working a full-time job in the future
Operating on 24 hours of sleep deprivation, which feels applicable here, is equivalent to a 0,10% BAC. I feel like at that level if you get into a car accident it has like a 50:50 chance of being bad enough to just snuff you out entirely
“Here lies Joseph. Died tragically young in a horrific and preventable car accident on the way to their third job with over $60,000 in their savings account. Rest in peace.”
Do to my efforts to put 100k in the bank as quickly as possible - I had a massive heart attack at 40. My health insurance refused to pay anything so I had to declare medical bankruptcy. Now I have a new plan…
Why wouldn’t your insurance pay out? Just didn’t feel like it?
often, yes.
maybe you went to a hospital or a doctor that “wasn’t in the coverage network”.

Reads like one of those Japanese LN titles. Would just need the character to die and you’ve got an isekai right there.
If they are a millennial, that means this person is easily into their late 20’s and early 30’s.
Also, no way that is sustainable long-term.
I love how the title is said as if you should be impressed at almost saving 50k with two full time jobs. That like getting paid $12 an hour at both jobs it’s basically not even worth it
What can you buy with 50k? A tiny house if you build it yourself? A nice shed? A used rv?
A 1996 Dodge Caravan with 330,000 miles on it, one-wheel drive, a mostly-working AM radio, seats that smell like cigarettes and piss, and about 6.5 months’ worth of rent for a storage unit space juuuuust large enough to fit the van if you pull off the side mirrors
Exactly and I was being generous with the calculation because it’s assuming you pay 0 taxes and are a robot that doesn’t need to eat or anything.
Also they’re a millennial so like they would be 30-40 and they’ve accumulated less wealth than owning a house so they’re still way behind where the baby boomers were at when they were 27, even working 2 jobs and deciding to just not sleep.
Wholesome.
Local millennial excludes ultimate fiscal responsibility by planning to die for retirement decades in advance.
I realized the ultimate cost-cutting measure was to cut myself. Only with zero needs could I be truly independent.
Halfway to halfway to a downpayment,
For context, inflation adjusted $100k would be equivalent to ~$11.1k in 1968, when average home prices were in the $25-26k range
Them shits an even million now
Yessss! Collect more of the money that keeps you in our system… work for us and buy the house from us, all using good old money!
What a go-getter! If she keeps this up she might be able to afford the down payment on a studio apartment by the time she’s 50.
Fuck the ghouls who did this to people, who made this world possible.
Ah yes thank you soothsayers and priesthood of capital for telling us everything is okay and we are just slothful wretches for not working ourselves to an early brain aneurysm
So they’ve done this and saved like 50k, over how long a period of time?
Call it half way to 100k and that sounds so much better …might even encourage those lazy arse millenials who don’t want to work any more…
/s
This is extremely unhealthy and should not be praised. Absolute ghoul shit.
