"My mom opened a bank account for me when I was 7 promising to put a small amount there every month so once I’m 18 I’ll have a nice fund to start my life with. Turned 18 and found out she used the account to take out a s@#t ton of loans that I now have to pay back."

I clearly recall lying in bed, I think as a high schooler so early 80s, having a serious contemplative moment about dying and came to peace with it. It was also then that I came to the conclusion that there was no point in having ambition. We were all going to die soon anyway. If I made it to 20 years old, that was good enough. Any additional years would be bonus.
