The Dangerous Death Cycle of the Middle Class
[h=4]“Most men die at 25, we just don’t bury them until they are 70.”
- Benjamin Franklin[/h] Think about that quote.
That IS the definition of the middle class.
You’re young, you don’t know what to do. You get a job at the same place where your friend works…you don’t even love it… it’s just good wages, or it’s comfortable or its easy… next thing you know, you get a girlfriend (or boyfriend), you get married, you get a mortgage, you have kids, and now you’re stuck in The Death Cycle of the Middle Class where you are spending the majority of your awake time, the most valuable asset that you’ll ever be gifted with on this planet, you’re spending that doing something you hate. Showing up to a job that you hate, on a commute that you hate, working with people that you hate. That is The Death Cycle.
I don't know if this should be called the Slowlane or the Shitlane.
The Fastlane may come with a hefty price tag, though at the same time, I can't help but think that it's actually the cheapest of all the options.
