I gave up on the working hard and trying to do too much 20 years ago. The first part I will do until I’m dead.
The moment I graduated from secondary it slapped my. All the old people who neglected to save or plan and refused to retire, and entry level being about half of what was needed to actually survive.
Never, because it's actually working out for me. Stop working for shitty corpos I guess
I never had that plan. I just went with being nice and hoping I'd figure out what I wanted to do and that things would work out. It didn't go that great.
I do whats required of me at work, no more no less, and I'm always kind if I can help it. Bosses don't care much about an employee who won't go over and beyond, but at least i'm less stressed out..
It's still true, realised it should be for the right people around 28
Hmm, Yeah, I guess I'm only now coming around it, not sure . . . I'm 32.
I mean, I realized it much earlier, but did I change my behaviour right away? Of course not.
It's definitely a topic I'm embarrassed to speak about with family.

Closed mouths don't get fed.

I sense the root of here problem.
Around 14yo
Too old. I won't say, because I kept learning that bullshit lesson over and over and over...
Disillusioned early like 8 years old, so that was never me.
Yeah, but asking is super easy, tho.
Highschool when I was stonewalled from fixing my academics.
I just found out I got lied to and I actually passed the honors placement test.
24 or so.
I end up doing a lot of my admin at home (I’m salaried) bc people won’t leave me alone with their conversations that…aren’t important. But the hours are really good. One more year and I can move on and take a massive pay bump without working outside of campus hours.
