 a tabu for boomers is that its a shame to admit to hate their job. And Its super shameless to hate every job that keep you away from yoir family and passions.
I fucking hate my job and I just need to stack some money, and the first step to make my life happier is realize it. Then I probably will continue this job for some time, unless I would have better opportunities to be paid doing things I like more. 
 part of the reason for that, probably a very big part, is that they can't save for the future, so they can't change jobs

it's a really bad thing for an economy where people have disincentives to quit bad jobs because usually good jobs are more valuable to the economy and are run by more honorable people
