        i suppose I can see how that’d be helpful. i personally have discovered that as I get older I need less numbing - quality of life has improved quite a bit so perhaps thats why? not sure - sample size of one & all

          Lil bit that a lot of us really are starting to lose hope on improvement ever happening.

          I know quite a lot of people just taking things day by day without ever having an opportunity to think about things like retirement - or shit even owning property in their life

            yeah I can see that - myself, I’m building an RV (vanlife on steroids) so I can gtfo of the city and reduce my cost of living by a large percentage (and probably retire early).
