I'm just seeing the end of this stage in my development. I was in pretty much the same place as you at your age, and I'm 29 now. For me, relentlessly following my heart and dreams is what led me to higher ground. If you keep peeling the onion, you will get to a point where you will see all of societies games as the funny little interactions of people who are really children. It also makes it easier to play them when you're not so emotional about it.
However, what helped me get there was more trippin, particularly ayahuasca and peyote in ceremony, and honesty plus hard work.

It's called growing up dude and it's taking place right now. There'll be heaps more changes take place too! I'm 30 and I feel I'm only just startin to plateau out now after everything seemed like a midlife crisis at 25. Youre right about the elite controlling everything. A lot o people are starting to awaken and see what's actually happening just most are too lazy to do anything about it. BTW...Topherchris There are many places you can live without having to fight the elements dude. There's more to the world than just America.

3%?
Please show your math you used to come up with this number.
I can show some of my math real quick.
24 hours in a day, only working 8 hours of it. Your working for 33.3% of the day. You also get two days off a week. So you get more than 66% of your time to yourself.
168 hours in a week and only 40 are spent to pay for the other 128.
There are plenty of 3 day weekends throughout the year as well as random days like Christmas and Fourth of July where you can take off as well, in America at least. This in addition to a week's vacation that most companies give you.
Also if you work really hard and LIVE BELOW YOUR MEANS you can save up and retire at 60, if you start working at 20 and live till 80, you'll only have worked half your years.
How should it work? No one should have to work and we all get free houses and free food and anything we want to do is free, travel, entertainment, gadgets, clothes, all free?
You also don't have to sell your soul just to indulge.
You know you are allowed to do what you love and love what you do right? You don't have to work at McDonald's for the rest of your life as a minimum wage grunt. Find something you love and make it happen.

I felt the same ay at 25 a few year back. I wasn't in school anymore, fucked up a lot of relationships with everyone, money was hard to come by. Honestly if working a lot doesn't appeal to you I suggest getting into bartending/serving. When I started out I had shit shifts at a shit bar but after like 5 years and getting experience I ended up at a live music venue in Detroit working 3 days a week making over $1,000 a week un-taxed cash. You can do it too and have all the free time you want. It paid my way back into school and I'm finishing my PhD in Herpetology(study of reptiles and amphibians) this semester and will finally be doing what I want with my life after a 6 year break in between my bachelors and the 5 1/2 years I'm about to finish.
You can do it and life will get better. Working a lot does get in the way of a healthy lifestyle but I started doing yoga just an hour a day and lost 35lbs in 5 months. I ate better as well. I was literally one of the most unmotivated depressed and drug addicted individuals you could ever meet. One day 6 years ago my cousin, who was basically a brother to me and the only person who I could trust with my life, overdosed and died. It was the absolute worst moment of my life and I hope you never have to experience something like it. However losing him gave me the drive to be better and do better and truly made me appreciate every second of my life. Everything from how intricate grass grows or the color of the sky or a good meal means something to me now.
Whatever you do just don't give up. You get what you put in and if you can find out what you want to do for the rest of your life then you can do it. If the absolute piece of moral and physical shit I was can change and do what I love so can you. 25 is a rough year. 1/3 done with life, halfway through your 20's and finally time to grow up and accept you'll be a 30year old adult soon. But you're still young and have plenty of time. I didn't get back in school until 30 and I'm still super grateful I did everyday. I thank my cousin(in a crazy fucked up way) everyday for unintentionally sacrificing everything and being the motivator for me to succeed and the glue that brought my extended family back from the brink of damn near war.
You'll get there kid. A commune is a good place to go and find yourself. You will live comfortably and happy someday, the universe has a comfortable path for all of us if we find the right doors to open. I Wish you luck and prosperity in your future, everyone deserves it. Until then, don't worry and just take small steps toasted positive change one day at a time. Easy does it. Good luck. Sorry about the novel, I ramble when I trip and depression is a subject I'm passionate about as I've lost a few friends to it

They have had what they love most taken from them, be it freedom, love, money, or anything for that matter. When you lose your greatest love you also lose your greatest fear, when that happens you are completely and utterly free.

I know not everyone can go from dirt poor homeless drug addict like I was to being semi-successful(at least in my own eyes). I'm just saying with the right amount of motivation and willingness to put in the work/change your lifestyle, that life can be good and meaningful even if you were a suicidal heroin addict like myself. No not everyone gets what they want and hard work doesn't always pay off, but it is possible to change. It was either die on the streets or get clean and live a semi-normal life. After 10years of straight fiend out addict behavior and lifestyle I got clean. In the past 6 years I've been given many gifts by the universe and somehow not been fucked by all the bar karma I accumulated doing horrible things.
I'm not so naive to think everyone can be well off, I certainly barely scrape by even with what I make bartending thanks to student loans and grants. I may seem like an overly positive fucking fool, but I've been through so many awful things, mainly by my own hands, that living cynical and angry at the world would seem the most logical. Basically I faked being happy and loving life long enough that I really do now. I still have shitty days like everyone else, but everyone of those days is still a gift. I shouldn't be alive and I am, I just trying to help the OP realize people have come back from worse and someday they can possibly have what they want if they are willing to try hard and live with passion.
It may not work or it my, but it's worth trying because short cuts never got me anywhere. Not trying to offend anyone with my story, truly just trying to help. I know what it feels like to be 25 with no motivation and the feeling of being stuck in an endless tunnel of debt and servitude with no way out. It's always a long shot, but I wouldn't ever bet against myself and the OP shouldn't either. Thanks all I'm saying.

You sir, are depressed. This has nothing to do with mushrooms or acid. There is also a lot of great advice in this thread. Just read and apply it.
Funny I should come across your thread as well. I had this exact same kinda "attack" this past Wednesday and I'm 24. Woke up, went to work and literally just broke down mentally. I saw my life as me just running in a circle going nowhere. Just working for nothing until I passed on from this reality.
Before this job, I was in my first year of college when my mother decided to move away. I stayed because of the love I have for my current girlfriend. So there I was, dropping out of college, homeless, no vehicle, no family, and no job.
Well after this attack last Wednesday, I decided to take some advice from some friends. I've now put in my two weeks to the shitty factory job I had, going back to school (you can too, so much financial aid out there man) and taking my relationship with my girl to the next level by moving in and supporting each other. The MDMA helped a lot as well.
Life is what you make of it. Stop being salty that it's not perfect and others have it easier than you. Doing it the hard way makes you a better person. Challenge yourself and stop making excuses.
Also, a job doesn't interfere with being physically fit unless you're just a diehard professional bodybuilder. I worked ten hour days, six days a week and still went to the gym almost everyday for two or three hours and got ripped as fuck.
I'll end with this: Life becomes immeasurably better when you force yourself to stop taking it so seriously.

a counselor&/or a psychiatrist couldn't hurt either, it helps to talk to someone. Plus chemical imbalances can be a bitch.

exactly. I know I let myself do it all the time.
Do you drink? do you smoke? do you buy psychs? do you eat out or get take out? have you considering adding roommates? its surprising how fast "extra money" can disappear.
for someone who can supposedly "see through the bullshit", your awfully hung up on this wage slave thing. maybe you should re-evaluate how correct your assumptions are about the world at large. you seem so convinced that you can see everything for what it is...... when you keep bringing up money as the primary source of your problems. doesn't add up to me. maybe those "doors" you opened didn't open quite enough?
does it make me mad that there are people landing helicopters on their yachts to meet up with their 6 girlfriends? sure, it could, but it doesn't. it's not your life. it's not mine, and it probably never will be. who cares? we're all doing the best we can figure out how to be the best we can.
Even when it all goes to bills- work can be very zen, as long as you haven't convinced yourself that you are a temporarily disgraced millionaire -who is "above" working a shit job just to make it. we all have to earn our keep.
believe me I feel you. I found that there is a strange energy attached to money. the funny thing was that when I decided I couldn't worry about the money anymore (within reason of course) and just tried to be happy, all of a sudden I had money for my bills rent etc. I also started buying groceries and learned to cook for myself.
