You gotta learn success within capitalism first before you reject it.

@Leo Gura

One can get "bored" of Capitalism

Figuring out how to live somewhat off-the-grid and avoid intensive exploitation is a form of "success within capitalism." 

It depends on how you define "success."

Imagine being forced to play a game you don't like. But you can't stop it, because else you'd be miserable?

Most people just immediately get depressed because they don't have any other game to play. It's kinda hilarious. 

Upgrade your game library, heck, build your own games.

Great way of putting it.

I don’t think it’s something to overcome but rather take as part of the whole. Unless you got a large inheritance you probably are gonna need to role your sleeves up some and do a lot of work, especially with the way the world is headed. Don’t lose sight of your true value and spirit. You’re valuable no matter what. There is always the true power and love within to call upon when faced with obstacles in life. 

That was good! Thank you.

Exactly.

@Pedro M I’ve hustled and I’m fed up with it now. I don’t see work in terms of a hustle rather I consider whether it is something I want to do and if it will contribute to my personal development. Hustling to me sounds like chasing the dollar 

Burn through it and see where you land. I can tell you the best things in life are free. I love cycling and swimming in the lake. I enjoy hanging out with friends. It doesn’t cost anything. The only financially sensible thing that you may need to hustle for is getting on the property ladder
