    My method is hoping that I’m just old and western enough that I’ll be dead before the real bad shit hits me. I’m 35 though, so… let’s say there’s a smidge of optimism in there.

      Just a smidge?

      I’m 27. Could you perhaps spare a drop or two of that optimism? You apparently have truckloads of it lol.

        I spent my 20s basically in poverty. Whatever income I earned got sucked away by renting a home with insane heating costs, like $300 / month to keep the house at 55 in winter.

        At 35 I applied for a government job in civil service. Fucking changed my life forever.
