You have to exercise.

You have to make sure you’re eating the right foods.

You have to cook.

You have to have a job.

You have to do your job.

Oh, you don’t have a job.

You have to find a job.

You have to fix up a resume.

You have to sleep.

You have to have hobbies.

You have to set doctor’s appointments.

You have to make sure you have insurance.

Bureaucratic nightmare.

You have to shower.

You have to make sure you’re keeping your romantic life afloat.

You have to make sure you’re working toward your dream.

Do you have enough money saved?

Do you have enough money invested?

What’s investing?

You have to take the time to learn about investing your money.

You have to keep up a social life

Are you married? Why not? Get married. It’s normal.

Do you have kids? Why not? Have kids. It’s normal.

Your computer broke.

Warranty ran out. That’ll be $2,500 for a new computer.

You’re in debt.

You’re not eating right.

Hey, we’re still in the middle of pandemic.

It’s all exhausting.
