Humans needs are insatiable leading to massively indulgence in different duties inorder to earn a living. Every individual plan to do better and live better not by struggling and end up with nothing after which. So people struggle in life because their needs and demands ain't met, so they'll need to work their ass of inorder to get that.
We have different situations in life, and so it is expected that there will be varying degree of survival that we do to uplift ourselves in this life. Don't compare yourself to others and for sure, you will get disappointed if you do. Better work on how you can improve your economic status and don't rely from others. Do remember, no one will help you but yourself.
On the note that we work to earn and not struggle in life. Definitely, that's our mantra. I remember one of my friends, she said, she's taking the cab after work so she has this convenience in going home, after a hard day at work. Instead of taking a public transpo where she will be so stressed after a hard day's work. So why not give yourself a lil convenience by taking a cab instead of pushing yourself to a lot of people taking public transpo? I like how she thinks because that's the reason why we are working hard, to give at least a lil convenience in our life.
