Is the SHTF about to happen soon? I feel like I have just given up on life

I think your attitude needs to change. There are many poor people who live to a ripe old age and enjoy life. Freedom and peace are within you. There is more to life than the government or the economy. Much more. You must enjoy and celebrate your life. THEY can never take away our freedom, as it is within US. Go to a movie once a week. Look for some sweet ladies to talk to. Relish in your breath and the way dirt and minerals all came together to be YOU. It is amazing. Look for stuff to be thankful for instead of stuff to hate and you will find it. There is some joy to find, every day, even in the midst of chaos and turbulence. Look for that.

The wheels are about to come off this bus at any second now.

And when they do this nation and the world will experience the greatest financial calamity in the history of the world.

The entire global fiat currency banking system 'trust' bubble is going to pop BY DESIGN.

For many decades now the paper and digital ' precious metals' markets have been totally manipulated. Unknowable exponentials of 'shares' of non-existent 'paper' and 'digital' 'silver' have been sold over these decades, exponentials that have been used to artificially suppress the value of the REAL PHYSICAL SILVER, and physical gold etc.

Here's why. Our government has been using the actual physical metal value(based solely on what the value of silver or gold would be without any non-existent non-phsical 'shares' to skew the actual supply and demand curves) TO PROP UP THE DOLLAR.

Prop up the dollar with one hand that is...But behind the scenes the government is BUYING UP ALL OF THE PHYSICAL at the rock bottom price that THEY CREATED with the phony paper shares.

One day soon the entire economy is going belly up, and the government will continue to hold down the price
as everyone becomes unemployed and one by one most of us will end up having to sell our metals to one of these 'we buy gold' stores.

Finally the day will come when the entire nation is good and broke, the government will walk away from or outlaw or whatever digital and paper silver, and they will own most of the actual and then they will let the fiat money system bubble pop.

When the dollar comes crashing down the true value of silver and gold will be once again allowed to 'emerge' and the people who sold their holdings will be completely devastated when they realize they have walked into this trap willingly, even eagerly following and trusting their political leaders.

When that day comes the war on patriots will begin in earnest, for then the WARPIGS will have the cold hard COINAGE to pay mercenaries to fight us.

No amount of preparation for this war can ever be TOO MUCH.

Why don't you get into prepping a little. Silver is great to have but you can't eat it. Raise rabbits and chickens for meat and other small livestock. Go to costco and buy 50lb rice bags for 20 dollars and store them.

If you want some peace of mind, I'd do that too. Sell a little of your silver to get those things.. you have plenty.

Oh and don't forget guns to keep it all.

Rather than live with your parents because you can't afford anything else, live with them because they are family, and you love them, and you want to help them. Focus on being a joy to them, and it will repay you with joy.
Go to your service job because you want to be a part of society, and use every opportunity to plant a seed of truth. You can't be very obvious on the job, but if you spend your time watching, waiting, ready to strike like Ninja with a tidbit of truth, you can while away the hours as a stealth "infowarrior." Who cares how much you get paid? You are working as an in cognito agent for love, the paycheck is part of your cover.
Don't buy silver against a collapse, buy silver to keep it out of those who would make weapons out of it.
One day, you will likely find that your little pile of silver can buy you and your loved ones a new way of life, but for now, remember that it all boils down to a choice between love and fear.

If all else fails...

... how about MOVING ?

:P

Just teasing. ;)

Well here's a little bit of advice for you, maybe it will help, as I was in a similar situation to you not so long ago.

First off, don't hope for the apocalypse!! That's not something that is going to take away your problems!

Secondly, here's something that may sound really weird but helped me out a lot: Follow your dream.

Basically, a lot of ex-grads like you are stuck in crappy jobs because they're told that that's all they can expect out of life nowadays. However, the reason life is so hard is often BECAUSE you're expecting so little out of life. What it takes to make a better life for yourself is motivation, and motivation can never be found doing crappy jobs that make ends meet. Do you have something in your life that you always wanted to do, that would be your dream job/ occupation, etc? A lot of people shelve these dreams because they believe they can't make them a reality and instead get the crappy job to pay the bills.

If you do have such a dream (however impossible) then here's my advice: DO IT.

No matter how hard, no matter how unlikely the chances of success, its worth it to be motivated everyday because you are following what you actually want to do instead of what is 'realistically possible'.

And you know what else? Everyone around you who feels bad for you because you're not getting what you want out of life, they would LOVE to help you achieve what you really do want to achieve. Your own enthusiasm for it will inspire others to help you and believe it or not, in no time you will have achieved it.

Decide what you REALLY want to be doing with your life in a perfect world, and pursue it. There's really no point in doing anything else.

But I know one guy that is 72 years old. He works in my building he is there every day from 10 am to 8pm doing maintenance and cleaning. Then when he is done working he walks up the street and starts his second job as what I can only describe as a janitor from 9 until 2 am at a laundromat.

Sometimes you think you are doing all you can and working hard believe me I've been there with that train of thought and then you see people that do that day in and day out that work 7 days a week and never go on vacation and it makes you wonder if you are really trying as hard as you could be.

Now let's say you didn't even get a second job lets say you decided you wanted to learn a new skill instead go to night school for some vocational training or something I know some courses at my local vocational are only about 500 bucks and are 3 times a week at night or early in the morning and are only one to two hours. How many of us are willing to sacrifice the little bit of time to really better ourselves?

I know how hard it is I want to party and I want to go out and I want to get drunk and have a blast but I restrain myself and try to do things that will help me out in the future as much as I can. I'm not a machine though and neither are you and we are going to fail and fuck up but as long as you stay optimistic, focused and can find a balance in your life and find happiness and be thankful for what you do have you will be allright.

This world is full illusions right now. There were plenty of kids with me when I was in college some are still there and I thought man there life seems great. They have all this money I thought it was from their parents; they're always traveling and life seems to be treating them well. Then I realized a lot of it was student debt fueled spending and their going to screwed for a very significant amount of time and alot of them are just trying to extend their time which will make the pain much worse by going to grad school and piling on more debt. I shit you not when I tell you one of these people is in grad school right now for gender studies all financed by student loans. She might be having a ball now but eventually the party is going to stop.

Stay positive stay focused remember that their are people that are much worse off and be thankful. Other than that just try to do you best in everything that you do. Best of luck.
