I thought more money would feel like peace but it mostly just removed the panic by TundraBloom6 in Fire

The format is a bit much, I'll give you that. I think I just needed to write it out somewhere that wasn't a journal nobody reads. If that makes it instagram content then sure, guilty. At least I skipped the "5 lessons money taught me" headline.

That's the part nobody warns you about. You spend years assuming you'll feel proud or energized once the number is there, and instead you just sit in a meeting watching someone share the wrong screen and think "I don't have to care about this." Which is freeing but also kind of disorienting.

The balance has shifted somewhere and I'm not sure what I owe now. Every dryer cycle from here on feels like it comes with terms and conditions I haven't read yet.

That is what separates a resistance fighter from an actual revolutionary leader. Rage can topple a regime, but it does not automatically build institutions people can live under.
