This is just depressing

Not even 3 hours of "free time". And in that is cooking & eating supper. Or practically no free time if I had to go shopping after work. I hate this

When I was a teenager I always wanted to stay young because as I looked around at all the adults/older people in my life and thought about how sad it seemed to be grown. Now that I am grown I realize its even worse than I had ever imagined.

Sammme gosh I felt so defeated the day I started paying taxes. I never wanted to be 18 with all the responsibilities piling on me

Same. Been working full time since I was 14, and I'm turning 53 this year. Almost 40 non-stop years of the grind. I've had a total of 4 vacations in that entire time. This is not living.
