Damn I spent the whole pandemic reading books and doing my best to get ahead as such

How did everyone else mess it up so bad? I'm just reading this and thinking back to my resolve to use this time as positively as possible, like study and doing my best with savings was the most obvious thing at the time to me

Might be something to do with me living in the third world and adaptation culture being different

> How did everyone else mess it up so bad

Kids. A different set of mental-health challenges. Being worried about losing their job. Being more dependent on their non-coliving family than you are. Being more worried about their family than you are. Having a job that they're not used to doing online. Having a job that's hard to do online. Having a job that couldn't be done online. Being deprived of life-long hobbies and interests that can't be done online or in the home. etc etc.

So get into finance options where the effort->profit ratio is way more favorable as a hedge against all of what you mentioned or you and your entire family will suffer is what you're saying, in the most positive interpretation possible
