This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

The last 2 lines of the text make it sound like bait if the 6-figure thing wasn't a joke (otherwise, delusional). Depression likely, if not other health issues that led to this.

I am not quite as bad as the text but for me: parents are doing their own thing (these days, computer time), almost as isolated as I am.

It probably helps that I do tasks for them (mostly sweeping, unloading dishwasher/garbage, carrying firewood etc). Not that I can do much given that I, much like they (who are anti-doctor), have untreated health issues. Seemingly is enough they don't threaten to kick me out (though maybe they know that I would just leave with no place to go, and likely die).

Also it was unlikely in car-centric areas of the USA as-it-wasbut I don't think there's hard-working out of this after medicaid is gutted (not that was even an easily accessible path before).

Maybe anon can lose 50 pounds, get a hobby, and leave the house a few times a month when the weather is nice... but probably not getting a job/moving out with no help while the government implodes and normal people were already struggling to pay bills.

The 6-figues line could very well be a joke without the story being untrue.
