Help! I'm a prisoner in a big suburban house!

Please, somebody, get me out of this fancy enclave of McMansions and SUVs!

    Just get the heck out, or die trying.

    How can you live a life you dislike so much? Money can be replaced, but your integrity and personality can't once you allow them to erode (it's kinda like topsoil).

    Think about it! You've got opportunities, resources, use em! What else are you gonna do? Sit around, drink, get depressed, and fade away? You're still alive, still young, and you're realizing you've made some mistakes.

    Get out now while you can still make authentic decisions... or suck it up, drink the kool aid, and accept your future as a soulless suburban drone.
