I live at home and am gonna get a job. Despite our President here, life so far is OK for me. However, I do wanna see the world and at least travel to Japan, Norway, Sweden, or the Netherlands

    That’s because having tons of money is the only proven way to not have a crappy life in the USA. All the public services and citizen protections are undergoing rapid disassembly, without which one wrong move can put you on the street.

      I don’t have tons of money and I grew up with even less and my life is great dude.

      You don’t need tons of money. What you need is to be smart with your money and way too many people aren’t. You don’t need a Lexus to be happy, but way too many Americans think if you don’t have a stupidly expensive car, you must be miserable.

        Same! The doomscrollers on Lemmy seem to enjoy being unhappy and have no clue how life is for most people. lol

      I don’t have any money and I have a great life. And I live in the US. All my neighbors seem pretty happy too.
