Well, it's not as bad as it sounds, or well, it is but we've adapted after living like this for so long. It does suck, and I am surprised to feel for the first time ever after living abroad all these years, I'd rather be day-laboring in Indiana for minimum wage. We have a huge struggle ahead of us in the USA too, but I think we've both given up on our 40s, which will be spent overworking our bodies making up for the lack of funds we've saved.

I have a vision of us chilling on our land in Cambodia in our 50s, relaxing in hammocks and living a modest slightly early retirement on our crypto savings. I hope this manifests.
