 No.243022

I mean it's bad enough the world is utter shit and I'm forced to slave my ass off for pieces of paper until I die but the mere fact i can't even see the efforts of my work at the end of the day, it's fucking mad!
I live in Jamaica and sometimes i just wanna end it. I'm 22, I work a regular 9 to 5 but yet I still can't do shit with my salary….all my money blows up on inflated utility bills and grocery prices….I'm lucky if I can renew an ongoing subscription or even get myself something nice by the end of each month.

From school till now, I just feel like I'm going through an endless cycle of survival.

I genuinely would rather to not work at all and just live peacefully but I want to leave this country so badly that it even overshadows the factor of work.

Seeing the minimum wage in the US and other developed countries discourage me so much, to the point I just wanna quit my job and runaway. For example. $10 - $15 an hour ismind-blowing to me, as the regular citizen here barely makes that, even after slaving for an entire day….in a single day american citizens are making what we make in 2 weeks, in ONE day.

I've even seen news headlines of Americans complaining about $7.25 an hour and I'm just like "fuck i wish the average citizen here was making that much an hour".

I always wonder why I was even born here to begin with, the world is so huge, yet I was born in a poor, crime filled, underdeveloped country…..like the world is already shit and requires way too much from us to simply exist but on top of that, i have to endure life in a third world country too???…..it's fucking depressing.

>I always wonder why I was even born here to begin with
It's simple, people in underdeveloped countries have more children, so there's a much higher chance for you to be born somewhere in Africa than to be born in somewhere like Luxembourg or Norway

 No.243029

>>243022
I mean, If you CAN even wagecuck in the first place then yeah, you'd be better off living in 1st world to buy the fancier things or whatever else you want.
But for me, I'm so stressed out by work that I can't sleep without a pill the night before, don't even need to talk about how I felt during workdays anon… Basically I'm a wuss that can't handle work due trauma and such so I think it's pointless for me to relocate to first world where I will be suicidal and miserable just with slightly nicer things at my apartment.

 No.243031

Well, the citizens of US are enjoying what they plundered from poor countries so you're entitled to your right to be an alien there. The concept of poverty in 1st world is laughable. They call being able to be obese with all kinds of gadgets and cars living in their detatched houses poverty. To me that's just mind blowing.

 No.243032

I'm a third worlder too, but you have to see things as they are, if you lived in the US you would make dollars but spends dollars too, renting a run-down apartment in a zone full of niggers costs $1500 that's why there's a lot of homeless people, and the jewified - negrified US culture is shit too.

The only country worth living on is Japan.

 No.243033

>>243032
They live in shoeboxes in the metropols of Japan, which is where an illegal immigrant is most likely to get a job, and I bet they cost a lot too, big cities with jobs are always the most expensive regardless of the country. Still, it's a night and day difference for a third worlder, that's why they get low paying jobs and cause unemployment.

 No.243036

>I've even seen news headlines of Americans complaining about $7.25 an hour and I'm just like "fuck i wish the average citizen here was making that much an hour".
Have you ever heard of this thing called "cost of living"? The reason we make more is because it costs so much more to survive here. Tired of shit-worlders thinking they're the only ones who struggle in life. Get real.

 No.243040

You achieved consciousness in a nation where you weren't supposed to. You glitched the system.

Most people in Jamaica don't give two thoughts about their poverty and just grind their daily $1 an hour jobs like automated drones.

Yes, life is an absolute and utter lottery, which can be lost the moment one is born into a hellhole.

The best current course of action you have is to attempt to escape that hellhole at all costs.
That's what people across the world born into these hellholes are doing at the moment.

That's one factor keeping me from committing suicide. I was born into Sweden into a fairly wealthy family and words cant express how grateful I am for that.

As a nonneurotypical neet I would probably be a homeless drug addict in most places of the world. Now I have my own house, an electric car and savings (about $80 thousand).
Sometimes it stupifies me how inequal and unfair the world is. I haven't worked a day in my life but I get to live like this.

If I got to knew OP personally enough I would help them.

 No.243046

BR gibs moneys plz

Living expenses are totally different, your money is stretching further than the US dollar is. They earn more and have to spend more to get equal stuff to what you have. In some places minimum wage barely covers the cost of owning a car to drive to work and back.

>>243022
Don't get brainwashed into thinking you would have a chance in a 'rich' country. I spawned in Germany and while you obviously get paid comparably more here you also have MUCH higher expenses. Sure, old people here might live in giant houses and drive fancy cars, but they bled the economy completely dry and young people all have to fight for a handful remaining jobs and living space in the cities. As usual for markets with MUCH more demand than supply you are being treated lower than shit on a shoe and have to absolutely whore out yourself to corporations to survive, is this really the capitalist hell you want to live in? I would assume living in sunny jamaica where you can just smoke weed without immediately being shot by cops is quite nice.

 No.243104

>>243088
huh… what would i do to be born in Turkey rather than the irreligious shithole i was born in

and if religiousness is such a problem for you, why don't you just move to a big city? i know it's not as simple as that, but it shouldn't be impossible

 No.243105

Kind of true, life in the west is absolute shit if you weren't born into a wealthy family.

So to enjoy life you first have to be born in the top 5% of countries and then the top 5% of family backgrounds.
Life is rigged.

>>243022
Degrees don't mean shit. I have a master's and no work for 4 years now!
Because even with degrees it is competitive as fuck. Universities hand out degrees like nothing now and everyone is told to get them = they are devalued. As a result, people who get a job right out of college need to seriously stand out in some other way besides a degree. This might mean great social skills and/or lots of extracurriculars. Degrees being actually valuable besides getting through the initial interview phase is just a another lie society tells you to believe.

It's easier to escape in a wealthy country. Makes you forget about life a lot easier when you have decent living conditions, live in a safe neighborhood and can afford all the foods and entertainment you'll ever need.

Yeah, what a bunch of apes! Defending themselves when the military junta demands protection money from them and threatens violence against their communities unless they perform free labor.

That is just false. I've been living and working in Germany and in the third world of Eastern Europe.

I was going to point this out too. EE countries are no longer cheap, but wages are easily 4x lower than in 1st world (even less in the Balkans).

The average people exist to be siphoned of all resources, this is just common sense. You wouldn't want your tax cattle to be dining on caviar. To live well, anywhere you need to bust your ass and work.
Fortunately, living well is not as appealing, it is just dumb hollow pleasures. Not worth working towards. It is better to have a beautiful dream.

Purely an ideological choice by the state. I've seen neets from Nordics posting on various sites and they can afford nice cars, steaks and champagne and they don't even work.

It's all RNG where you get born into. Working hard has nothing to do with it. Even if you work hard in a country like Serbia you're going to be 4-5x less well off than a Norwegian neet.

im danish on neetbucks, and after i pay my rent i have about $900 left, i have a rtx 3080 gpu, i have a new car on monthly 200 lease, and i can buy or eat pretty much anything i want

in total its about 1500-1600 when considering electricity is included, though you have to report to the 'job center' every 6 months but thats no big deal

i sometimes wonder how those third worlders living on like 150 dollars a month stay sane. it's mind numbing
plus they need to work 5-6 days a week 8-10 hours a day. i just sit at home and browse stuff, watch movies or play games

ive been on the bucks for years now, on top of that i saved up about $30k from it (180k kroner) because i cant even think of anything more to consume that would increase my living standards

We don't. At least in Hungary we have the highest suicide rate, highest depression, top cigarette and alcohol consumption, most cases of heart dieses and cancer in Europe.

 No.243964

This. Most just kill themselves or go insane and huff glue under some bridge.

Paradise for neets only exists in northern Europe.

I live in Bolivia and here it is considered golden to earn even 300 dollars a month, that is when you work 10 hours every day without breaks, except on sundays.
You get nothing as a neet except you starve to death. If you work hard, you still get nothing except you barely exist.

Life is pure hell here too, unless you have rich parents.

Spoiled, bratty assholes without a functioning brain.



They have everything and choose to waste away their lives doing nothing of meaning. So much money that they choose to attend the most expensive schools in the world where they just go and barely pass, just because they can.

Meanwhile I'm here in a shit third world country, doing freelance work making assignments and reports for them to have a hallway decent life, and that's besides my shit job even though I have a Masters degree from one of the more renowned universities in my country… Because of severe unemployment issues here.

You know what I would do to go to those schools you take for granted? What I would give to go to the University of Toronto, or Strathcylde, or George Mason? How much I want just a chance to prove myself that I have a passion for research and I've been dealt a shit hand in the past?
