conversation: User (evening__blue): "This may sound extremely idiotic but can someone please explain why people have to work so hard and wear themselves out in order to simply exist? And I'm just thinking about how pretty soon I'm going to have to be independent and pay for my own things and make my own money and pay bills and whatnot. I wanted to know how you guys transitioned to that stage. I want to know how to approach these kinds of responsibilities (mentally). "
