Although I have a job I completely agree with this Picture.
Yesterday I got paid and to my surprise I got paid a lot less because of the Christmas Holidays. This got me completely depressed because I am meant to count myself lucky that I have a job in this time of crisis. Seeing a 3 figure salary instead of a decent 4 figure salary (I don't think i'm asking much) makes you think what is the point?
I'm working for a major company that most probably makes millions and what am I? Just another number in a corporation.
Am I really meant to be grateful that I work over 50 hours a week and I struggle to get to the end of the month?
I'm not writing to moan or attack the higher people because it really doesn't do anything. Unfortunately I am not the president of any country, I am not a politician, I don't come from a well off family. I am a normal middle class person trying to get by.
I am grateful with what I have. I have a flat, a pet, a car, a job and get to go to restaurants now and again. There ARE definitely people worse off than myself but as I am meant to feel bad when I watch the news, why aren't the politicians, the EU or even the banks feeling the same way?
I don't like to follow politics because I don't believe in it, but surely there must be a way to help people that have been left jobless and then homeless.
In Spain people are being evicted from their homes by the banks because people can't pay their mortgage because the banks got too greedy and literally f*cked up. Why should the people being paying for this mistake? Why are the banks taking these homes away from innocent, hard working people and then selling them off or leaving them empty?
Shouldn't there be a law to protect us all?
It's sickening to know that there are people who don't work as much as I do but they had a university career paid for or have the right contacts so they entered a world of earning so much they don't know what work is and don't know what people are really going through?
In the end, I have made a decision to work for myself, I want to create my own project and I don't want to get the country out of crisis, I want to get myself on a road to a better way of living.
People need to reconsider what they are doing. Now is the time to brainstorm and work for oneself. Build your own personal corporation without having to cough up to the richest of the rich. We as people need to help each other.
How can we try and help?
Stop shopping in huge supermarkets and help the corner shop owner that is struggling to make a living.
Go to your local hairdresser and give them business.
Stop making capitalism number 1.
In the end I am an ignorant person trying to work out how I can live better with less stress. I haven't found the solution as of yet, but if anyone does find it, please share.
