Hourly wagecel life is fukn brutal

everything I buy is instantly converted in my mind to how many hours it cost


that dinner, 2 hours

groceries this week 6 hours

soda at WAWA, **** that costed a few minutes

electric bill 5 hours

Toilet paper 10 minutes

Tank of gas 2 hours

Hope Mr. Noseburg will give me a raise soon of a few shekels per hour... still if I get a $5 raise by some miracle that's an extra $200 per week. More like $140 after taxes

A 7 day cruise costed me a little over 80 hours of work (2 weeks) last year. It was my fault for the price being high though, was kinda last minute. If I planned it well in advance and maybe found a discount or used a third party service to order it, probably could've done it for around 40-60 hours of work (1 - 1.5 weeks). Guess this means I can spend 1/2 of the year working, to enjoy the remainder of the year on a cruise. Das it mane.

The only way to win is to stop playing Mr. Noseberg's game. Stop letting him capture 90% of your economic output.

Wageceling is only going to get worse and worse over time until 90% of workers are enslaved poorcels. Even being a doctor now is basically slavery with a nice salary.

I used to do that until I broke $500k a year now I don't care about $$ at all really. My overtime rate is now $256 an hr (srs) and I can work as much overtime as I want so I can buy anything if I don't waste money on big purchases like expensive cars etc. Even at $200k like I was making before I would do exactly what you described which kind of ruins the happiness of buying stuff for yourself.

Yes, the main issue here is inflation and the price of things going up but I think you should keep in mind, wagecells will be poorcells... It gets easier to afford **** when you liveore comfortably
