Also children don’t give a shit about being able to go to a 100k a year school but will take your example to heart and follow in your footsteps. So they too will work some miserable job “for the kids” and so on forever

This blows my mind. I don't understand it at all.

Who the fuck wakes up and wants to work some boring office job, or even worse, a professional office job like lawmo or CPA? I do it because I want to support my kids.

If I had no kids I'd be a fucking bartender in a beach town or something like that.

Childless single adults who still show up to churn out contract revisions are absolutely fucking laughable.

Sex is the tool of reproduction. If you were having sex at a high enough level at your age the woman would be begging for you to have kids. You clearly don’t.

my job is just what I do to afford my hobbies and social life. I'm known in my friend group for being pretty generous - getting the first round of drinks, covering friends' rideshares if they're running out of money 'cause I'd rather everyone get to come hang out, etc.

it certainly isn't enough to motivate me to work 40 hours/wk, but fortunately I WFH and get to do just the minimum amount of high-quality work to fly under the radar. not a lawyer.

i understand that we're all conditioned to a modern existence, but as a general template for life it is far more fulfilling and far less psychologically torturous to "earn your keep" by going out and killing something, and being done with it after the kill and chilling out for a while, than sitting in place watching the hands on the clock melt your life away without reprieve.

but without even having to go there, i take it you're not considering "every conceivable alternative" from the perspective of someone in 2026 with a small modicum of wealth, which is strangely evading the point here.
