It maybe stop a d realize that the wealth discrepancy between what people think is wealth, is simply that large?

I know I will never be able to afford a car, a house or even basic dental checkup, so how else am I suppose to feel, seeing something like this van-lifestyle?

I understand things are rough now but you're really barking at the wrong tree here. This camper van thingy isn't something that can only be done by the super rich yet you're lashing out at them. You feeling upset from a nothing burger because your situation is shitty is such a sad way of living a life.

I recognize that as a truth.

Of-course my quarrel isn't with these specific people and their van. I am simply tired of barely living, constant job rejections, and scavenging for food just to make it to the end of the month.

At this point it's simply seeing others with, what I used to consider, "Basic things I though I would be able to own"

Like a functional bike, the ability to see friends, not feeling like a parasite.

Just skip it and move on instead of complaining? Dude people with money are all around you, every day. Unless you never leave your house, you're gonna see some BMW's on the road, you're gonna see someone with a Prada hand bag somewhere or Loius Vuitton shoes. Do you get jealous and emotional every time you see a camper van?

It's always easier to build a straw-man then use critical thinking for you people isn't it?

Use critical thinking? My guy, dude is getting jealous and emotional about seeing a camper van, someone should maybe employ critical thinking and instead of feeling sorry for themselves, learn to handle seeing people who can afford somewhat nice things.

Na, if you can't afford basic dental check ups you fucked up. Get over it. You should have done a little better.

Yeah, I guess me overcoming my chronic illness, Multiple Sclerosis, while balancing mental health from abusive relationships, and un-medicated ADHD (can't afford it) all while trying to finish my Master degree in genetics wasn't be trying hard enough.

Maybe instead of 400+ CV send over a years time, wasn't enough either, and i should have aimed for 1000+CV!

srly. stick to your little straw-toys
