  1.  @darrenbaxter9980  Relationships based purely on physical attraction and no compatibility don't tend to work out most of the time. The butterflies fade and after that it falls apart. Or worse you had kids and now it gets complicated.

  3.  @InvasionAnimation  We must take it from them.

  4. @ no, I'd be fully fulfilled if I owned my home without paying monthly and there was some financial progression.

  5. @InvasionAnimation I'm a programmer btw, and I've been a PC geek since kindergarten, so to me I got the job I've always wanted from since I was a kid. One of the two, it was either micro-architecture of software engineering, since I don't live in the US and the few other countries where I can work the former, the latter is what I do. And it's great and my job is super chill. No harsh deadlines, no micro managing, a good mentor. Almost German net pay(-10 to 15%) in a country that is much cheaper to live in than Germany. I really can't complain at all about my job. I can only complain about me not being able to make myself keep studying to get even better at programming much faster. And yet I have gotten very... I don't even know the word, but my brain has given up, rationally I haven't, but subconsciously I'm so done, I can't really function at more than 25% capacity.

  6.  @KateeAngel  Money isn't that important compared to production. Production is king. And if you don't have enough young people, there won't be enough of them to care for the old with all the money in the world.

  7.  @MyRedmamba  With the current birth rates at some point there will not be enough production for all the money in the world to get it for you, people will start keeping it for themselves.

  8.  @mcculloughmethod6912  Tell that to the boomer ran governments. Also this problem will become big in 80-200 years if the birth rates don't improve, not right now. But in 40 years it will be have become a real problem.

  9.  @onionfarmer3044  I'd rather invest in German and Spanish health care. Especially the Spaniards with their almost Japan levels of birth per woman.
    2
  10.  @MyRedmamba  Sure, but in 80-200 years the production wouldn't be enough for money to matter, so you'll have to produce for yourself at all ages.

  11.  @kitataki2296  very much so. I hope automation helps us, but we will have to see if we manage to advance it enough in time and then who will own it? Corporations? worse, the governments? So the ownership of said AI/automation will have to be solved or we will get bread crumbs.

  12.  @Kyiverdam  True

  13.  @minigunner1218  The silent generation had as many kids as the previous generations, the difference is that due to modern medicine the babies didn't die. Until the 1940s/1950s you needed to have 6-9 kids if 1-3 of them were to survive. Infant mortality dropped significantly. My grandpa had 5 bigger brothers and a younger sister, out of the 7 of them, only he, his sister and the oldest brother survived infancy. He was born in 1941. 4 of his older brothers died before he was even born. That's why africa has a ton of kids too, but we gave them modern medicine(it starts with V, but youtube will delete the comment it I even spell the word) and now their babies don't die, but they still procreate like they do.

  15.  @liljohnnyjoker  Most people don't have retirement plans and the pensions, at least in Europe are laughable.
    2
  16.  @liljohnnyjoker  From what I read most Americans don't actually do that. No 401ks, no roth IRAs or whatever, most do the bare minimum. And again what's the point of money if you can't buy anything with it.

  17. @ato96 Yep, it's hard. From what I've read, online dating should be the way to go for women, since the vast majority of app users are men, so you can pick and choose.(Haven't used one myself, I like irl interactions, not online ones) But if you want an early bird, gymrat, sober, who isn't deep into politics, go early to the gym, I know cuz I am one. Still flirting in the gym isn't the best, but that's your best bet. But IDK what you mean by plant-based.

  19.  @hrthrhs  Absolutely true.

  20.  @skatetrooper5285  Since I've lived in the capital and in my home town, you are absolutely correct, the culture is actually different, but at the same time the culture in the capital is very degenerate, while in my home town people from the ages of 18-35 have left to go abroad or to bigger cities.

  21.  @Jesei1211  I've seen 5 long distnace relationships(3 men, 2 women)... highly unrecommended.
    2
  22.  @chrisknight880  Up to the age of 15-16 or so(10 years ago), girls were absolutely willing to do many more activities. Play different games, even some sports, go on hikes, etc, etc. After that they pretty much thought of it as either lame or "man hobbies" and with time they ended up with very few hobbies. Again that's not all women, but seriously it can't be every woman I meet if it wasn't common... But it wasn't just girls, women were more up to it. I have a dozen female cousins most of which older than me or the same age as me and I saw the change in them too... I have no freaking idea what happened. While guys either remained the same, or the desperate for relationships(or sex) ones became the same, since they tried to force being relatable to women/girls, while hiding the few hobbies they still have/had.

  23.  @xg2513  Sadly that's the case. And I too still haven't found someone I'm compatible with, starting to wonder if I ever will. If I and a few of my friends were gay I think I'd be set, because I have a few very good friends, that I've been friends with for 10-20 years with, that share most of my values and world views, along with common interests and lifestyles. When it comes to monogamy, I don't think it's a huge issue in my country yet, but year after year, it seems like casual relationships are replacing monogamous ones.

  25.  @geovanilopez5459  and on top of that return rates have plummeted from most sources. Otherwise, 70-75% makes so much more of a difference compared to 50%. To hit that 25x times yearly expense in savings, you only need 8 years at 75%, if you are aiming for 33x times, then it's 11 years. At 50% savings, it takes you 25-33 years.

  26. That doesn't work well at all. It's great on theory, terrible in reality.

  27.  @BOSSDONMAN  true, non-productive jobs count towards the gdp.

  28.  @turtleanton6539  to what that I have said are you replying? I'm an excellent example of why the education system doesn't work. I had excellent grades in both school and university and if I didn't go to private courses for 2.5 years and didn't self-educate like mad, I wouldn't have a job right now like most of my university colleagues that solely relies on university. And my major is in CS and telecom. My younger brother did what I knew was the right thing to do and got an engineering jobs right after high school, no university, just private courses and self-education for a few years. He now earns over the average salary at the age of 19.

  29.  @ravenknight4876  Ah because when you finished high school you were an expert engineer, or doctor, or lawyer, or tradesman, or accountant that got a middle position job and got paid above average salary from the get go and you had nothing to learn on the job itself... of course... my bad... I have friends that started going to private courses and self-educating from the age of 10-12 and by 16-18 they got an engineering job, yes DURING HIGH SCHOOL and straight out of high school. They ditched school as much as possible to do so and the funny part is they had more free time and a better social life. My brother did what I told him and he got a programmer job straight out of high school, but he had to go through a 2 year private course and master, not just read, master a total of almost 4000 pages worth of books.

  30.  @stopdragginaround  Yes, you learn social skills by being social in real life, not in a controller and forced social environment like school.

  31.  @QWERTY-gp8fd  Not in my country, social services come and take you to a children's institute if you don't go to school, and there you go to school as well. XD

  32.  @QWERTY-gp8fd  I'm sure you did.
    2
  33.  @QWERTY-gp8fd  Until the age of 9-10 not really, after that I started thinking. And don't blame me for my parents, I didn't choose them. If it were up to me, I would have wanted to be raised as an adult from the get go.

  34.  @MegaSirPsycho  They don't teach you any skills, they give you a shallow, easy, simple book for each subject and make you repeat its content on the test, exam and so on... If I'm in the wrong, then why aren't people out of high school experts in a field or two? How come private courses can teach you skills, but school can't? All my university colleagues that didn't go to private courses, nor self-educated through real world books, are still jobless 3 years after graduation...
    2
  35.  @ravenknight4876  Or skip school entirely, and use the extra time to learn even more and become even better... -_- School and university should produce professional experts, there is no excuse for them not to, if mere private courses can do it in a fraction of the time.

  36.  @GameFuMaster  It's the same thing masquerading as something else.

  37. @ A home is where I don't freeze in the winter or die of a heat stroke in the summer, it's where I safely sleep, it's where I keep my crap, it's where I crap. Homes being assets is the biggest tragedy of the 20th and 21st century.

  38. @ IDK, I rationalize it like that too and I'm grateful of my job, but my brain is just telling me I might as well not be alive. I have only 1-3 free hours a day outside of weekends. And I'm living in the capital of my country due to having no choice and outside of my old friends, I don't meet new people at all. There are no good places to meet people, not counting bars and clubs, which I don't like much anyway. People here just don't like socializing outside their established friend group... why? IDK.

  39.  @Bkesal14  IDK if it's a cop out, but it's not useful, because for the second time in my life, my rationality can't overpower my subconscious mind.

  40.  @InvasionAnimation  The way I study turned out to be a common method. I read, then I write down what I've read in my own words, then I practice it and then I re-read, re-write if need be, and re-practice it once in a while. This turned out to be called the feynman technique + spaced repetition. It's not that I don't understand, it's that I can't make myself sit down and do the work and it doesn't stick in my memory. It's hard to understand what you don't remember. And after a day of coding, I don't want to go home and do more coding anymore. Also I can't compete when the clients of my company are not in the same country as me. There is no market here for what they are doing. They've just outsourced their programming jobs to my country because we have a low flat income tax and low pension + health care tax and nothing else, while also having lower net salaries by 10-15% compared to western europe. Also yes, yt censorship sucks, it does it for no good reason to me all the time and if the comment is too long.

  41.  @InvasionAnimation  There is no way to quit early, even with me investing in the stock market it would take me at least another 20 years. And we have days off, but I'm burning through them now with no success. I think my problem with work is the lack of time, rather than the work itself. If all I have are 1 to 3 hours a day of free time during the week and half of my weekend is gone just to rest up, no job will ever be better than the one I have. And since I don't own my own home, I have to pay rent, which automatically means I need to earn a decent salary. Also I'm thankful for your advice and trying to help me, I'm always open for advice as I have no idea what to do.

  42. Where am I supposed to get water from? Tap water is out of the question and bottled water(and other drinks) are all in plastic containers?

  49.  @benjaminmeusburger4254  The majority of people over the age of 70 can barely take care of themselves. My grandma is 85 and a few other 70+ year old relatives and can still take care of themselves, but that doesn't mean that the majority of people are like that. Data points aren't a statistic.
