I know it’s not the point of your comment but I’d love to know what your job is that allows you to be a hermit.  That sounds like a dream for me… 🙃[/quote]

I’m essentially a data scientist although that is not my exact title nor do I like the sound of it. I started working remotely even before the pandemic. The boss checks in a couple times a month to get updates on projects and I occasionally go to industry conferences. Other than that I set my own schedule.

It is a dream in many ways. I can live independently in a major city. I don’t have to work that much and can afford some small luxuries in life. Though my parents grew up in developing world poverty so my idea of “luxury” may differ from yours.

Still, I’d like to make more money. With the way life is getting so expensive and middle-class people are being increasingly stripped of financial security, I want to have a bigger nest egg. I also have fancier dreams of selling my condo and buying some acres outside the city, first class travel, etc.

Unfortunately even with all my privileges and skills, I still became “the loser” your parents warned you about; high nearly all the time, few meaningful relationships and little engagement within the community. Beware! [/quote]
