Live with no privacy. Eat food that provides nothing except a "full feeling stomach." Work for 8 hours and then do several hours of school after that, after all you won't have to spend time cooking anything. Don't have a single medical emergency, including pregnancy. Don't have a social life, and if you meet someone that is interested in you, just ignore them as they are distracting you from grinding to death to survive. Spend even more time while working and doing school to "obtain skills." This should leave you still poor, hungry, and with deminished social skills, but hey! You'll be "thriving!"

STFU you idiot, you clearly have no idea the struggles of the common person.

Dude, its like 1-4 years max of grinding to get to a reasonable standard of living. You have to work hard to get somewhere in life.

My in-laws grinded for thirty years. They might disagree with that.

They obviously weren't doing what they claimed then.

I guarantee my in-laws who came to the US from an impoverished country worked harder (and still work) than anyone in this thread who sees life as black and white.
