Relax. It was obviously tongue-in-cheek.

The "fuck you, pay me" thing feels like a very American mindset though. Over here in Europe we're more of a mind that you do your civic stuff first and delay the boring money-making until you have to, I think. Because we don't really have to hustle for retirement stability. A 22yo having to work their butt off to buy a home (we rent here ...) instead of going after their passions strikes me as sad. Different systems.
