Man ,some people don’t earn enough to save , nor are given the tools on how to in the first place . Not to mention , usually , they have a lower IQ so many of the higher paying jobs are simply out of reach for them .
That’s literally akin to the “stop eating avocado” out of touch , stupid statement.
Usually , we tend to lean on the side of agreeing , but that statement is just obtuse . For lack of a better word .
It’s not up to people who are more fortunate to shit on those , and thumb thier nose , at people who are less fortunate . This shit isn’t hunger games my man , if you’re not in district 1 , you’re a peasant .
I’m sure you’ve got a story to tell where you pulled yourself up , or many be you don’t and you’re a silver spoon type born on second base . I dunno , either way , a society is held together only as well as the lower parts of it are treated . The lack of compassion, by people drives me crazy .
Especially from people who either have forgotten where they came from , or have zero idea what it’s like in the first place .

You are talking to a guy here who raged about the Government helping small businesses during Covid lockdowns.
He doesn’t live in the real world.

Thanks mate for checking in. My youngest brother passed away about 6 weeks ago, complications with alcohol. It’s been a shocking year. The worst. Brother that is hospital is doing poorly. I’m hanging in ok. Young family makes me smile. Can’t wait for 2024.

Many condolences for what you are going through man.
I can’t relate but certainly feel for your plight.
Enjoy your Christmas as much as possible.
 
Thank you for the support Guys. It’s funny when you can download things in a place like this where it doesn’t feel as confronting as in person. I’m well and have holidays to look forward to. Im excited about our team next year but with no expectations . I’m a tragic fan and will always be (much to the dismay of my poor wife who has endured this year with me). Funny where you find your support but very appreciated nonetheless. I spend too much time here to some but it’s part of my life (since 2009 I think) - as is the Wests Tigers - thank you 🙏

Ive been through the worst two years of my life 22 & 23....stay strong mate getting thru tough times makes us stronger, you have no other option for yourself and your young family
 
Sorry to hear you all had such a poor year.
Mine was 2016. Buried a lot of people in one year and saw 2 relationships crumble that I am yet to repair.
We go on though because the will to live is stronger than the will to give in. Call it arrogance, call it stubbornness or anything else. It’s damn hard to break a human being. Enjoy your time tomorrow with whoever you get to spend it with. If that answer is no one, reach out on here there’s always someone about.
🍺 cheers

Funerals are hard had 4 this year
 
I feel for everyone who’s had a rough year. ‘22 was my rough year. Things improved this year to which I felt extremely thankful. Things always turn around if you hang in there, long enough. There‘s always hope. Merry Christmas

Know what you mean, I’ve lost a nephew and sister in law this month alone. You really get affected by it, especially now I’m older.
I guess you wonder when your number might get drawn !

That's so true.
If there is a need to 'look after' someone we do our best to achieve a good outcome for them.
But, at the same time, we have to give as much time in looking after ourselves, as we do looking after the other person. Otherwise, it's a bad outcome for both.
