It's incredibly sad but it's a very insightful step into that class aspirational mindset. All of these people are completely impossible for communists to reach, they really believe in this system and they're playing it like you would play a videogame.

im trying to save up to retire early and here i am.

in my case its not out of hope for the system but utter hate at having to spend 6 days a week and all my youth in a shitty artificially lit office.

i have enough money where i can tell an employer to fuck off if they try to pull shit, and have time to find another job.

Yeah but unfortunately many of these people are not just trying to become un-exploited, but trying to become exploiters. It's full of boasting about it in fact too. Vile.

when education isnt liberating, the oppressed's dream is to become the oppressor.
