Sometimes I miss those days. So little responsibility. Renting was so much easier than home ownership. Living alone was way easier than having a family. All I HAD to do was go to work, and pay my bills. All of my time, all of my money, all up to my discretion.
Not to say I don’t love my family or my house, and I would never trade them to go back. But sometimes, if I could go back in time for just a week… I think I’d be really refreshed. A time vacation.
my partner suggested at any time i could take my own vacation just to get a break from life. get a hotel somewhere and not have to worry about the house or chores. havent done it but it seems like a healthy thing to have. try it!
You’re either buying labor power or you’re a wage slave.
Can’t even just cut down some trees and build my own house somewhere because land isn’t free and someone else owns the trees.
Our jobs might as well provide us housing & food since we’re basically prisoners there and can’t afford anything else anyway.

Coming home to an empty house is fucking awesome and one of the best parts about living alone

I think he means empty in that he’ll never be able to afford any furniture.

I knew a guy like that. I used to drive him to/from work all the time after he got his DUI. When my apartment flooded, he let me crash for a few days. He had a couch, a coffee table, a huge TV, the same computer my parents had when I was in middle school, and a mattress on the floor. That was his entire apartment. Except he could afford furniture, he just spent it all on women and booze. Wonder what he’s up to now.
