I’m in my 30s so I should be used to this by now, but this shit is getting so stressful guys. I have no savings, my checking account is drained every month with rent, and if there’s ever a serious emergency I have no safety net, I’m legitimately fucked. I’m one unplanned expense away from absolute ruin. Those in the same boat as me, how do you deal with this?

    “The law, in its majestic equality, forbids the rich as well as the poor to sleep under bridges, to beg in the streets, and to steal bread.”

    That is to say, the error is to conflate law with morality. They are not one and the same.

      Yes, but stealing has been considered amoral in all cultures for all of history.

      Stealing is fundamentally wrong, only a tiny fraction of humanity would ever disagree.
