You have probably already started imagining it – the towel spread across warm sand, the icy drink sweating in your hand, the blissful nothingness of a week away from your inbox. It is practically a rite of passage once the temperatures climb. But if you have been quietly shelving those plans, telling yourself you will...
TL;DR - Our trash society is shifting dramatically toward only being beneficial to the “elite” and everyone else is getting too poor to enjoy their lives.
I’m an aerospace engineer and I’ll never retire after spending all this this money on being laid off. 20 years in and I’m losing my job again, and also worth more dead than alive because of life insurance. So do I kill myself in the next few months to take care of my family, or become a burden in a bad situation?
Hopefully you’re joking, but in case anyone is unaware, life insurance doesn’t pay out for suicide.
I don’t know how serious you are, but no. Giving your family the rest of their lives to live with the trauma of a parent’s/SO’s suicide, there’s more than finances at play. My MIL’s father did that about 65 years ago, and I can see echoes of that in her personality today.
