I live at home and am gonna get a job. Despite our President here, life so far is OK for me. However, I do wanna see the world and at least travel to Japan, Norway, Sweden, or the Netherlands

The culture in America certainly seems very, very focused on money.
But all a person really needs to be happy is somewhere nice to live, money for food and good friends.
Some people need to get cancer to understand what is important in life.
That’s because having tons of money is the only proven way to not have a crappy life in the USA. All the public services and citizen protections are undergoing rapid disassembly, without which one wrong move can put you on the street.
I don’t have tons of money and I grew up with even less and my life is great dude.
You don’t need tons of money. What you need is to be smart with your money and way too many people aren’t. You don’t need a Lexus to be happy, but way too many Americans think if you don’t have a stupidly expensive car, you must be miserable.
You don’t need tons of money, until you get an Expensive Disease and all of a sudden you need a LOT of money.
The number one cause of bankruptcy in the USA is medical debt. Unless you have insurance, in which case the number one cause among THOSE people is … actually still medical debt.
If you’re the kind of person who worries, the idea of not ever being able to get ahead far enough to guarantee anything really, really sucks.
You have no control over that.
If you want to sit around being worried that you might get cancer one day and get bankrupted… go right ahead. But it won’t make a difference.
Even if you have all the money, you can also still die.
