how do i enjoy being poor? i’m old enough to accept that i will never make it out. how do i enjoy it? how do i get accepted by a culture without coming off as a poser? i’ve spent all of my 20s working and it’s all amounted to nothing. if im going to be stuck here i would like to be a part of a community

Start hedonismmaxxing. You've likely been previously saving or whatever with the idea that you will one day escape your circumstances. Accept that you won't, and begin living your life as though anything that does not threaten your immediate financial prospects is fine. Order doordash burritos on clarna or whatever and max out credit cards. Purchase candy next to the cash register. Spend 50 dollars on porn. It doesn't matter. have fun. You have missed the boat to have much else, so for the love of god have some fun, maybe it will even pay off someday.
>>33639183i would only do that if my death was guaranteed when the money runs out
>>33639209The trick is that the money doesn't run out. Like I said don't do anything that would threaten your employment, but shit like credit card debt just fucks your ability to buy a house, and even then it gets wiped clean after seven years if you default. Even if you don't want to be extreme like that start doing more impulsive purchases when you've got the cash on hand, our society is constructed around giving uberpoors a break to retardspend. Join your peers and see what life has to offer. You're free, buy that 15 dollar dominos pizza or that mounds bar near the register. That new game or that new shit, just keep your shelter in order and you're set.
