I tried finding an escape from the handcuffs, but my career was also a dud, so I never had the insane salaries. Most jobs such harder, and the ones that don’t I’m never going to be able to do. There were a few things I was interested in, till I realized changing careers like that is insanely expensive both in real and opportunity costs and doesn’t happen often for a reason.

At this point, I want to just find some cheap property, away from people and maybe with some nice amenities like a nearby river. That’s the only was I see myself contented now.
