Huh? Where and what you eat is absolutely something you have control over. A war in Iran raising prices on food is not something you have control over.
Oh yeah? I’m jealous you never had to worry about what job to do in the economy that will feed me.
I had few months where I was going door to door, hoping someone wants their lawn mowed or windows washed so I can eat that night. And I’d say I’m privileged ones because I knew this kind man who was willing to lend me his tools to mow and to clean windows. I’m lucky because I got a scholarship for tuition for university and I don’t have to worry about what to eat anymore.
But for the few months I relied only on window washing and lawn moving, I remember I at least had 4-5 days where despite going through 100s of houses, no one needing the services.
But Please tell me how absolute of a control I had about what I eat with 0 earnings in that day and my networth being essentially 0. I guess absolute control I had was starve.
Not trying to get into a poverty contest with you. You mistook me clarifying what I said as a challenge against your life experiences.
To reiterate: don’t stress about things you have no control over. Stressing about it won’t change anything. That time and energy is better spent stressing about the things you do have control over.
