There is no life when money is tight. It's just constant struggle for survival. There is no time or energy for engaging in any 'non-essential' behavior.

I had a lot more humor a decade ago but nowadays I have no surplus energy to make any jokes and I can barely laugh at anything aside from dark humor.

I only think about two things these days:

1. Securing a decent income (through honest means).

2. Reset of the corrupt economy.

I see the two as intertwined. Everything I think about and do is about these two things. #1 is not possible for me (and many people) without #2.

It's sad that a lot of people are starting to fall in the same category and it's affecting their interactions with family members in such a profoundly negative way.
