Absurd? On the Daily?

How do we define absurd? As in a lot of people on the planet don't have it? That would be a lot of things. Absurd as in "out of the ordinary? Absurd relative to the people in the same socioeconomic group? I'm boring. Nothing.

I guess I'll try this: A decent job that is allowing me to have medical insurance and get paid enough that I can save money and hopefully have enough money to retire, or work a little maybe just for insurance in retirement.

I don't think I enjoy that fact because I'm always aware that it is a situation that a shitton of people will never reach, and that's what makes it feel like a luxury.

Apple Vision Pro headset. It’s way too expensive but the quality is so damn amazing. I’m a VR developer so I appreciate its power.

I live a comfortable decently comfortable life. I know a lot of people are struggling. We just got a house a year ago. And as a younger generation, that's hard to do these days. I would say simply having a house feels like a luxury.

Beers and cocaine. I might have a problem.
