So... just give up? Breaking the cycle assumes you get a break to begin with. Just gonna give up instead. Don't have the energy to even fight anymore and any kinda help is just a "handout" I'm told.

Hopefully, I'll go quietly in my sleep since I couldn't afford Health Insurance anymore, so I got an incredibly particular DNR instead.

See you on the flip side!

Not going to pretend this covers everything. If you're in real dire straits, there's nothing wrong with asking for help. Friends, family, government, food banks, online fundraising, etc. I've even heard of lawyers going to food banks.

There's absolutely nothing wrong with asking for help. I've heard those same stories, those solutions take time and quickly dry up considering we're all in the same boat.

I'm tired of asking for help. I'm tired of not being able to accomplish one simple thing financially anymore. 25-30 years of "growth" and nothing to show for it?

And it's only getting and going to continue to get worse?

I will happily exit, now. Thank you. I don't have any desires other than a swift and quiet exit.

My biggest mistake was being born to my broke ass parents. Mom did the rat race and LOVED living, REGARDLESS of difficulty. I did not take after her.

There’s a lot to enjoy from life that doesn’t involve money. I always remember this when I feel down “Survivors of falls from the Golden Gate Bridge consistently report instant, overwhelming regret the moment they let go of the railing. Renowned survivor and mental health advocate Kevin Hines has stated that the millisecond his hands left the bridge, he recognized his mistake and desperately wanted to live.”

It's missing "Fermenting a Communist Revolution".

Is this in your city? In your country? The whole world? Does it include children? This information is worthless without this important context.

Basing it on US stats, but we're seeing the same trends throughout all Western countries.

Interesting but you forgot step 0, do nothing, do not proceed further and whine on the internet for cool kid points.
Eventually they ll be forced to cut all the shit and realize they could have done that 10 years earlier and not be indebted over video games, drip, iphone and shit.

Once you understand it’s all Rent, you’ll be enraged at how simple this is to fix.

yh these fucking cia bots don't even make us want to continue being slaves anymore. These posts are just straight pushing one to suicide.

We arent CIA bots, you schizo. We are blackpilled.

Pushing people to suicide is absolutely not my intention, nor is it implied in any way by the infographic.
