The Bad Nauheim pieces - 3. The economic facts of life

You start, you try, you do your very best, things still do not work out.
They pay you a pittance, you cannot live on a pittance, you borrow, you have more available short-term, more to pay out long-term. The pittance and the debt start to strangle you eventually.
You try, you do your very best, your efforts are not appreciated, things just get worse.
Someone, who is fond of clichés, tells you to start your own business.
To run your own business you have to sell things. The one thing in life you do really badly is selling things, you are far too shy. The credits are few, the debits are large, the credits diminish, the debits begin to strangle you, the business fails.
Back to the grind and someone else in control. The pittance does not increase, costs do (and how!), life becomes unbearable.
You try your best, who cares? You end up unemployed, you get older, people are less and less interested in what you have to offer.
Poverty, debt, what else remains????
