Well, you clearly have not experienced the housing market in my country, where you need to pay 30 year's labor for a small place of your own. It's the way it is, I cannot see it changing any time soon, that's why I feel I am not enough for life.

I know we're all just dirt in the sand, eventually, but "carpe diem-ing" through life seems for me to be impossible without a good source of income. Everything is expensive, everything requires money. That's why I cannot find happiness, I am too poor to afford to think about happiness to begin with.
