I did not have a very happy childhood but it improved in high school and college. Late college and working world sucked but got a job in a nice place and it went up but it paid low so had this anxiety about the long term. then it became a slog and now everything has collapsed. So for me personally. Kinda? There was this idea of work hard and sacrifice to get ahead but it did not really pan out and I kinda wonder if taking drugs and living for the day might have been the better way to go.
