There was this one time in history where inflation got so bad that it lead to a lot of death and a huge war. Money is just a really frustrating topic in general. Like, our society is built around accumulating wealth. But wealth just means getting a lot of money. Money that you need to get from somewhere. That is, a somewhere where it ceases to be. Money is therefor streaming upward the social hierarchie. And the only way to pour more money into society to make up for that is by producing new money. But at the same time prices also go up. So inflation doesn't really solve the problem. At best it slows things down. But the end result is still the same: the rich get richer and the poor get poorer.

Isn't inflation usually the/a problem itself ? Not sure how inflation could be a problem solver lol.
Due to current events in Europe prices here have only been steadily going up.

Yeah it is. But we won't be going back to those times, as well. And even if we got rid of it things would probably take a similar route as crypto currency.

I always look forward to the weekend if that counts. There isn't really much to look forward to for me other than "not working" ^^"

If we lengthen the days people will just want to use the extra time for more work. <_<

Before I could go to Canada to start my new job, I was unemployed for a few months, and I swear 16 hours a day are not enough for all that I wanted to do :(

Before I had my job I had literally 5 years of unemployment (with the occasional short time slavery job inbetween). I mostly locked myself into my room during that time. :(

When my partner was unemployed for the first 4 months of the year, it was really more stressful than fun. Having to dig deep through whatever she saved up from 2021 to try and continually pay their house and utility bills. It was quite the struggle and though I constantly insisted I help, she never let me. She's thankfully now having a good time with a job that paid just as much as our freelance gig last year, but this time she actually gets benefits and bonuses on top!

I've had my job since leaving high school, but I assume being unemployed is stressful =\

The most stressful for me was the lack of income, even if I had some financial assistance thanks to my country.

I can see being unemployed right now, with all the prices rising substantially, to be really frustrating. I'm not too hot on working at the moment but it is definitely better than having no job especially at the moment. :(

There's a momentary safety net of living with parents for free. In my country it's not really looked down upon at all, and it's well too common to find people ages 20-30 to still be living in their parents' house. Many of my college friends took like a whole year off after graduating to just rest, and didn't seem affected much financially. Makes me envious as someone who literally only got a 7 day break between graduating and entering the work force.
