I love your money essays so much and I'm always inspired by them. First of all, fuck capitalism and the messed up systems that we live in, where some people don't have access to the most basic needs such as housing, food, and health care, while some people are freaking billionaires who don't pay their fair share of taxes.
Also, when I had may fancy corporate job with my fancy title, I felt like everyone (other than me) was oh so impressed and oh so interested. Now that I've walked away from my fancy job and tell people that I've retired, the only thing I get is "Why? You're way too young to retire! What do you do all day? Don't you get bored?"...um, nope, haven't been bored for a minute yet, but please tell me why I'm too young to stop being super stressed at a job that sucked the life out of me. I am very thankful that my fancy job allowed the financial privilege of being able to "retire early" but also all that stress probably took a few years off my life so there's the tradeoff I suppose.
Lastly, why do the physical therapy exercises feel like the hardest and also the most boring thing on earth? I'm doing PT for my messed up shoulder and I tell you, just getting out the stupid foam roller to do my 20 minute homework every day feels so impossible. Once I start, it's fine but I feel so much resistance to just starting the damn thing.
