I’m currently a stay at home husband who does all the cooking, cleaning and dishes.

Easy to throw stones when you're not the one responsible for keeping the lights on.

    You are.

    The main problem being that they’re cheapskates and won’t lift a finger for anything not directly benefitting themselves. They don’t know how to cook, and learning anything unrelated to their jobs is seen as a “waste of time”

    Maybe they're stuck trying to get ahead in their career and don't have the mental energy to focus on anything else. Most single dudes I know are focused on their careers because where they're at doesn't meet their needs or isn't enough to meet their goals even if the goal is as simple as just owning a home and be able to retire someday.

    If your goals in life start and end with personal wealth, you should expect stones thrown at you. Not sure what else you're expecting with that level of egotism.

    It's not wealth I'm after. It's security. I want to be able to reach a point in my life where I don't have to give 50+ hours of my time every week to some fucking company that doesn't give a shit about me just to barely scrape by on rent and groceries. I can't do that from where I'm so I have to save money wherever possible and build my career. Congrats to the guy I responded to for finding someone willing and capable of providing for him but most of us aren't going to be so fortunate.

    Let me be more blunt about this.

    You're going to die. No matter how much money you make, no matter whether you own your own house or not, no matter whether you can buy whatever food you fancy, you are going to die.

    If you're spending your life just thinking about how to make more money, your life is pointless. Do something better with it.

    What do you propose I do? I already said I'm fucking broke. I have no space of my own to do hobbies. I can't afford to travel. I go out with my friends a couple times a month and that kills my spending budget because everything is expensive now. I just had to buy a laptop and get my car worked on (again because I don't have a space of my own to do it myself) and just that wiped out six months of savings. How can I think about anything but money when if I take my eye off the ball I'll be fucked?
