It took me a few minutes to decide between the two possibilities. I confess that at first I was inclined to choose financial comfort, but then I found myself looking at my professional life. In the 21 years I've been in the labour market, I can pinpoint exactly the dangers of being in the middle class. More than twenty-five years ago, when I chose the course I wanted to apply for, I thought I would have a more relaxed life in financial terms, because the degree would lead me to a job that would leave me with some comfort and security. But in the last 10 years, I've realised that salaries have not been updated in a proportionate way. On the other hand, the most disadvantaged classes, who also have access to state support such as subsidies, have seen their minimum wage increase. In conclusion, the constant wage outdatedness of the middle class, as well as the constant increase in pressure and financial crushing for the majority of the working population, has led to the point where, despite being comfortable, I don't look to the future with the same optimism, at least as far as my financial return on my professional activity is concerned. I chose the possibility of wealth somewhat driven by the dream that my investment in crypto could take me to a level a little higher than the one I currently have or will have access to.
