Why do people bother? (wall of text)

So much to say on this. First I have to ask how old you are. Because your age and where you are in life right now can impact your viewpoint.

I work 2 jobs, one at a administrative position at a University and another as a department lead/forklift driver for a warehouse wholesale store for a total of 70 hours per week. The 3 nights I have off per week I spend with my very supportive girlfriend. Sometimes I spend two nights a week with her because I spend the third with my friends. Family time is restricted to the 20 minutes when I come home from 11:30 - 11:50. I sleep and my day repeats all over again.

I have a $520 000 house with a combined $3000 per month mortgage/loan payments. Bills are a lot and I work alot but I do it because I chose this lifestyle and i will do whatever it takes to maintain it. My choice. I could only work one job and get a basement apartment or even a cheap condo. But I want better things and therefore I am willing to sacrifice a lot of free time to earn my ideal lifestyle. Also to provide for my future family.

Complaining about capitalism, government, what's wrong in the world, etc. gets you nowhere. Just placing blame on things that aren't yourself. The world ain't fair and you have to stop whining and start adapting. Try living in a 3rd world country....THAT'S suffering. Your spoiled and you don't even know it with more opportunities then you know exist.

Questioning going on, that is what really bothers me. We don't all people stuck in a endless cycle of work just kill themselves? We go on for the good things. Raising a family and watching them grow, connecting with family, friends, and other loved ones. No matter how much I work, I always find the time, no matter how little, to enjoy the little things like gaming and just going out for a drink.

The first thing you have to change is your outlook. This isn't a utopian society, you have to earn your way in this world. I am currently typing this while working at my university job. I'm good at multitasking this; I answered and helped 7 students while typing this. If you aren't working at a job right now, I suggest getting to work.
