I Will Never Own a Home

I will never own a home. My purpose is to provide value to my employer. I will move thousands of miles away from my family because there are no jobs left. I will become a meaningless cog in an uncaring machine. My income will be eaten up by taxes, rent, and car expenses. One-third of my life will be spent sleeping, the other third will be spent working. The last third will be mostly taken up by chores and errands. I will be too exhausted to do anything meaningful with what little precious free time I have left. I will visit my family once or twice a year, watching them slowly fade away from my life until they perish. I am living in the most prosperous time in human history.

A screenshot of an anonymous forum post beside a distressed red cartoon frog-like character. The poster describes working, housing costs, taxes, commuting, exhaustion, and separation from family, ending with the bitterly ironic claim that this is the most prosperous time in human history. It is used as a bleak reaction to economic anxiety, alienation, and modern working life. EN: A screenshot of an anonymous forum post beside a distressed red cartoon frog-like character.
