    It’s almost as if life is different for everyone. I tried to do exactly what the adults told me, except I grew up poor with learning disabilities and got booted out of the house at 18, therefore I do not get to have the “good life”?

    Now I’m 38 with 2 kids and way too much student debt just to be able to even get the slightest leg up and be able to start a career. I will never own a home and I will not retire, even though I did everything the boomers set out for me.

    Screw your pity, no one wants it. Society is against them and it is against you too, you’re just too blinded by your “good life” to see it so you’ll contribute to making it worse instead.

      I had no parents, I have autism and scoliosis. I didnt take a study but decided to work for a furniture maker. Im quite literally a socially low functioning autistic man. My skincolor doesn’t help either.

      Lived in crappy junkie apartment for years before I could afford anything better.

      Took me around 7 years but I saved up and build my own business.

      Zero loans (unless you count company debt which is normal).

      Life isnt fair and you picked the bad choices overall. And yes people will judge on that.

      I work hard, and I hate it when people tell me society is against them, as if I got “lucky” and society didnt offer me the same hardships.

      Its quite frankly the biggest insult you can give a man, just so you know.

        You shouldn’t have had to live without to get where you wanted to be, that’s the point. We can and should make life more fair.
