To: Gotta be honest, I hope my state locks down with quarantine again.
Me: You are no different from anyone else, we all feel the same way. Nobody really wants to work, but in order to get the good things in life, they always come at a price, which makes you have to work to get them.
I have been retired for the past 23 years and I won’t ever work or need to work again and every day is filled with me doing the least possible in the greatest amount of time and I have that down to an art form.
If I never had to work or do the things I had to do, or end up in the places I did, from work and relationships and everything else, then I would have loved to have the life I’ve got, from day one – but like you, that was never meant to be – I had to play the game and find out how to beat the system at its own game, to tick all of the right boxes and stay unemployed with a good income, such as it was and live within the means that presented to me, eventually.
With Coronavirus, I don’t see anything much is going to change any time soon and even when it does and a vaccine becomes available which works, it is going to take years for industry and shops to start up again, if they ever do and with the competition for jobs, depending on how old you are, like over 35 is too old, sort of thing, your chances of getting a job won’t be very good.
That said, you need to keep your wife or partner happy with you, by picking up the jobs she does at home and making her life much more enjoyable, when she is not working, so that she wants to keep you in her life, because she feels you are contributing to her and her life in positive ways, that she won’t get from someone else and she keeps you on – the alternative being booted out on the street and a much harsher life for you.
Just Saying!!
