Two years ago, I gave up all of my securities and shiny things to experience life without depending on finance from a moralistic/philosophical point of view from someone who has had the privilege to ignore such. For the last few months, I've been considering changing that as it's getting cold again and I'm losing energy, technology, patience, and motivation to continue, given this depression I'm beginning to fall into. I'm 25, and looking at job postings everywhere, I've become really discouraged by the insane requirements for what I presume, Human Resources, have managed to standardize in some weird way, and the fact that I'm becoming older and less ideal in the managerial sense.

I had thought finding remedial work would help me out whenever I needed cash, and it could still be true, but I didn't realize how insanely closed off the world has become given the openness(lesser so) of the internet. These days, if financially secure, it would be very helpful to have a good $15k in the case something strange consumes your focus for the only way to advance securely is by needlessly consuming. It's lamentable in living without the imposed means of finance means we're going to constantly audition for our existence, but refusing monies is increasingly starting to remind me of few religious themes.
