Feeling like a failure?

I came here to tell of how depressed I feel about earning only 10k a month but I'll just go again....
 
Earning that sort of salary and being depressed. Not good. Re-evaluate your lifestyle and stop comparing yourself to others.
 
Some direct speech. What you earn, what car you drive, where you live, what you own, etc have just about zilch to do with being a success or failure. Those are external variables that you rightly intuit have as much to do with happenstance as they do with your effort, or lack of it. If you were born near the banks of the Ganges your circumstances might well be rather different. So, external things are largely irrelevant to being a success. Our hearts are made for love, and without it we wither and die.

Which other person (not what) do you love most in the world, even more than your own life?
Do you show it? Express it?
Are you prepared to die for another person? For what is right and good?
Do you give of your substance and not just your excess to others less fortunate than you?

You're 32 years old. Well into adulthood. If you can't unhesitatingly answer these sorts of basic questions for yourself (not here) then your feeling a failure is absolutely the correct feeling to have. Feeling successful without the basic orientation and purpose suggested by these questions (or more specifically their answers) is a form of insanity.

I'm struggling to see how he can't afford a car. But then again Maseratis don't come cheap.
 
R32K? For SA? Fück you are a loser. Most of us are pulling upwards of 50. And once you've settled for that pittance, you aint gonna be worth shït to the industry. Must be the lame "replace the switch / pull the wires / reboot the server" kind of SA.

Slit your wrists. I recommend going into the area where most of your miners live to buy the razor blades. Tell them about that pathetic 32K and how it has driven you to suicide. They may save you the effort. On the plus side, you will feel fückloads better about your 32K

Thanks for that :)
 
Did the OP just want his ego inflated?
Otherwise I don't see why you're depressed unless money is your sole reason to live?
 
Sounds like you are a fking spoilt brat who takes everything for granted but feels that the world still owes him more.
