Living under capitalism forces you to adapt or perish. I hate money. I hate having to spend time thinking about investments and retirement and savings and down payments and credit scores. Cost of living in my city is insane and I'm terrified that if my income doesn't increase every year, I won't be able to keep up with escalating rent and bills. In order to keep my life as it is, I am forced to think like a capitalist.

When everything around me is becoming more expensive, I must also increase my personal profits.
