Is your life rock solid or could a few setbacks bring it down
« on: January 12, 2026, 11:30:08 AM »
Like a house of cards?

I have been wondering about this topic. It seems to me that most people's lives including my own may appear solid when looking at them superficially from the outside. But if you really think about it I feel that most people's lives are but a few small setbacks away from total collapse.

How long could your current savings sustain your lifestyle if you wouldn't be able to generate new income?

A serious health problem can rock anyone, even uber-wealthy Getbiggers with watch collections.

If you are Somali having eight children and living in Sweden for 10+ years (without even knowing or having the desire learning the language), you can sustain your lifestyle and getting even more money than some working Swedes.

That´s how it is in Sweden atm.

Will change in the future hopefully.

A wise Getbiggers always has his concierge MD on speed dial. After Dr. Chimps retired, I hired Dr. Moops, MD.

For me? No time or at least not that long. Although, if I cut back and lived a “normal” life I could probably retire now.

The Exact same can be said for the world we live in - Its thin ice were living on & getting thinner by the day.
Society would crumble very quickly without Say Electricity/ Fuel for 4-6 weeks there'd be pandemonium
Going on - People killing each other to eat & survive.
Why would most peoples lives be much different  - its a fragile balance.

Geez Chicken Little. You sound like a real nutcase ready to snap. Oh tell me Nostradamus, what are your other predictions that you can tell us about? Or is it not the right time yet?

Choke yourself you fucking weirdo shitbag.

Your life has no relevance or meaning whatsoever, end it, do the world a fucking favor.

I would not have capitalized pathetic. I also would written the sentence as “Go away you pathetically irrelevant person”.  I’m not an English major and I might be mistaken. Have a great day my new online friend.
