no way im a crusher, I started playing again n crushing cuz I am lucky and bless

How the tides have turned. There was a time I made $1,000/hr and would not roll out of bed for less. If I did not know poker was so so so fucked right now I might give it a shot. To just compare it to what I am doing now I would jump at $20/hr playing poker but that could just be a grass is greener thing. I think there is a lot of truth to the statement "Poker is way too draining for $20/hr." That's a living wage (maybe) but you don't want to be a broke gambler. For example, if I gave poker a good try and made $20/hr over 20 hours in a week that's only $20,800/yr. Living in my parent's home grinding whatever for $20,000 in a year would be sad and pathetic. Grinding poker for 40+ hours a week is also terrible. What in the fuck in the world can I do with my time and effort to carve out some semblance of a life?

you are supposed to be so anti-capitalist, but you also have very right wing/capitalistic view of whats pathetic.

That is an astute observation. I was raised in capitalism and a staunch capitalist in my younger days. I guess some of that has stuck with me. With that said making $20k / yr in my parent's basement is pathetic and sad. Grinding poker sucks. Only making $20k / yr also sucks. It would arouse pity and be a sad situation. Don't know what else to say. Most leftists I know realize how much it sucks to be broke. It is something to comiserate over and bond over. If you are going to be a parasite and play poker better to do it big and have some freedom. It's just sort of a fact that you have to be more successful than normies too. What if I lived in my parent's basement and made $200k / yr? Dressed like a homeless person and didn't have a car. Actually nix the dress like a homeless person and don't have a car because I would pull that off if I could. Living with parents is not good. What I was trying to say though is the Accountant making $50k / yr and driving a Toyota Camry the gambler has to one up that by some margin in today's society. Or how society views it. That is not to say someone should give in to peer pressure. The opposite is kind of gaudy. All black Prada with bottle service down at Hakkasan. The one or two buy-in watch which is probably a Breitling or a Tag Heuer or maybe a Rolex. I was playing to capitalist rules then in my own sort of way but I was winning son. Sometimes it was annoying to deal with jealous people or questioning people. You learn you don't have to answer anything. The fact that I was flying to an Island in the Mediterranean to live in a castle on the beach the next month shuts people up.

If CurbStomp2 for example wanted to grind out $40k / yr at whatever stakes I would probably commend it. Maybe not. Maybe it is pathetic that you basically just eek it out on govt. money and grind vidya and tendies. I have pity for your situation and I do find it sad. I've been there for periods of time and know that it can be tough. I don't think I really urge you to do anything else. Working sucks. It really does.

I understand that you need to submit to capitalism with your body and your time. But I'm just pointing out that they got your spirit too. A true revolutionary would hold on to it.

I am not much of a revolutionary despite the garbled rhetoric in my past.

this is why u 2 were banned before bunch of non sense. I’m anti capital too cause there are enough in this world if we learn to share but the world is asleep

Let the world sleep for when she wakes up then she will be in paradise

Took this from an emperor but change it

Most people really just need 3-4k a month to live good

Too many retards think u need a lot of money to have a good life.
Rent/food/car/friends/family/books/utube/vacations
I guess if u have kids it’s a bit more

I don’t know how billionaires slept knowing there are people out there struggling.
I’m an idealist clearly but they are stuck in the matrix.
People just need to wake up to this matrix n realize the real wealth is to get out of the matrix. Aka graduate from the school of earth n be an earthling c everyone as one family

$40k / yr is probably bare minimum to live good but probably not anymore because of inflation and it depends where you live. I only get by on $40k because I live with my parents. With medical bills and car stuff I might not even get by. There's no way $40k / yr covers the good life in Vancouver.

yea rikd, save as much as you can then have 20k n live in se asian for 1k a month then when money is gone go back to getting a crap job for awhile rinse n repeat
I guess I save a lot of money by cooking myself a lot. 40k in western is bare minimum if u don’t cook urself

I don't know what job I am getting to be capable of saving $20k...

or how to get jobs capable of saving $20k with constant gaps in resume...

I don't think SE Asia is for me. I love the food but I just don't want to be THAT guy...

How much money are you actually saving by cooking yourself?

I mean maybe if you are cooking up 5 day batches of really cheap stuff...

There is time to consider too. There is also health. Eating McDonald's is probably cheaper than eating a soup from Sardegnia (debatable) but health is important and time is important.

you can save 400-500$ a month? that be 3 years u can live in seasia for 2 years with 20k. live decent there too. 3 years grinding 2 years chillin and vacation when money is gone go home u know. u dont even need insurance or shit.

simple meals rice or noodles veggies and egg n meat u know. i dont buy too much expensive take out food too now. once in awhile is okay. my grocery bill is 200$ a month maybe 250$ take out eating is like 100$. i live a pretty modest frugal life cause i dont get a lot of income these days.
i consider myself to be an okay chef not good or bad plus we have a garden full of veggies so i rarely need veggies just meal n other things

100$ is like 3.5 meals of take out food or eating out. 1 really good meal though but when i eat really godo my buddies usually pays most of it n i chip in what i can. im saving as much as i can so i can live better down the road balance my budget etc

i might need to work now cause life kinda boring with so much freetime i did so much what i wanted to do might get a 20$ job or something easy.

I make $40k / yr and live with my parents and saving $400-500 / yr would be a stretch. Like, it seems like I could do that now but I have impending medical bills / car bills that could wipe that out.

Have you done any math on living in SE Asia for 2 years on $20k? That seems far fetched.

The problem is the resume gaps of grinding 3 years and 2 years chillin'. I mean it's easily explained and I could be wrong. I would think someone that did that to be smart but I think most cogs in a wheel would not like it.

I would need insurance. I see a psychiatrist / therapist and have 7 medications.
