@pentacorn The question to me though is, " Is it a grand scheme or plot like we at the bottom feel it is, or is it just what happens when human nature and logic creeps into a system that is left to its own devices for too long?" Is it just what happens when a system reaches it's peak potential of betterment with our primal human instincts and human reasoning?

Slip through money then you die. Shouldn’t be that way I’m with you on that statement though
Pick something you’re passionate about and do that. The money will come eventually

Actually, no, no it is not. Immigrants prove this day in and at out.
What is hard is shaking off the spoiled sense of luxury we are raised with across all economic lines and more than that.... T force fed culture of consumerism that we are indoctrinated with from day one. Getting over that is nearly.impossible and really what makes surviving and ascending in modern America for most. We are so programmed to " get that", replace this", "get a new", buy, but, but, spend, spend, spend as our key to happiness and sign of success. It us is losing game by intentional design. It is the instant gratification culture that makes it hard.
That isn't a " grow up and pull yourself up by The bootstraps" comment to those in the position. It's a comment on how perverted and twisted our values system is.
