This is the effect of social media: people constantly comparing their lives to others

This is so true. Social media makes it seem like if you’re not traveling or living a luxury lifestyle, then you’re not successful. But in reality, stability, peace, and enjoying the little things are just as valuable.

The “normal job/wage” itself is what’s making ppl feel like failures. The average wage isn’t livable.

People feel like they lost at life because they work like crazy just to be able to afford an appartement and basic groceries. Even if I earn the same wage my parents currently do and work just as hard, I won't be able to have half of what they have. This is what's really going on.

I feel like I’m failing at life because I know recent history and know people my age were able to have a home and family on a single income not that long ago, yet I can’t afford rent on my own working 40hrs a week.

As long as you're happy with your life I'd say you've succeeded

The issue is that the middle class life is on track to be as unobtainable as the dubai life

My dad sent me a video some days ago that said "every father want to see their kids being successful". As I joke, I told him "successful is a bold word, but we're very happy" and his answer was "sounds successful enough for me". That's it.

if only a "normal wage" was actually a livable wage

Right now, what's "normal" is being one car accident, one missed paycheck, or one medical emergency away from homelessness. It's a miserable way to live. That kind of struggle is emotionally and mentally exhausting, and there's often no hope for relief.

Honestly, all I want out of a job wage wise is that it allows me to even remotely invest in my hobbies. If I can have that, then I'll be happy. Of course, getting any job is a pain in the ass right now. Over a year of applying for hundreds of jobs in my area, yet I'm lucky to even get an interview.

Dubai's a shit show. For those who see it as the height of wealth or some shit, take it from someone whos lived there, its slavery, racism, and classism that will dictate your success there, and also dictate when you leave.

I had a normal job at a normal wage. I still felt like a failure. Not because I wasn't in Dubai, but because I couldn't afford a 20% downpayment to buy an average home in my area. Not a nice one up in the foothills, but an average one. I stopped even looking because it was just depressing. After getting laid off I haven't been able to find anything reasonable for months and have had to resort to doordash to try to keep up with my bills, though I'm still drowning.

I ended up teaching and always thought of myself as a failure. It wasn't until I saw this post that the fact I realized I actually earn okay enough to live comfortably. Job ain't exciting but it's stable. Which is actually a blessing

the "normal wage" needs to be livable again.

A normal wage won't even pay your rent these days.

Social media did this. Cost is living is insane right now, but having influencers flaunt their wealth for all to see 24/7, is doing so much damage!
