I just want enough to be able to ensure I have a home, food, and healthcare. I’m basically hoarding money for an old age without socialism

If you’re depressed, sometimes you need something like exercise or spending time with your people (irl, not online).
If you’re depressed, sometimes you need therapy, sometimes you need meds.
Sometimes you have to fake it first.
Sometimes you need to make yourself do the thing.
Sometimes you need to be kind to yourself and give yourself rest and acceptance.

A lot of those low-wage workers don’t get federal holidays off. Ever go to a liquor store on Independence Day? Or a restaurant on Veterans Day? Or fill up your gas tank on Washington’s Birthday?
A better system is universal early and mail-in voting with as few impediments as possible. If you need to require identification, that ID needs to be free. There should be no monetary barriers to voting.

It’s Easter Sunday, it’s not that suspicious.
That’s not how you make friends.
Is therapy an option? Because dealing with resentment is a big chunk of their work.
If not, self-improvement books and podcasts. Brene Brown, Happiness Lab.
Learn about healthy boundaries. Boundaries are for you, not other people. That is, you can’t say “you can’t do that to me” because you only control yourself, not other people. So instead you can say “if you do that, I will do _____” and then do it. That’s putting you in control. Resentment can stem from lack of healthy boundaries.
Learn about mindfulness and practice it. Rumination on the past gets you stuck. Mindfulness has the benefits of helping you recognize your thoughts, giving you some distance from them, and anchoring yourself in the present. Mindfulness builds these muscles.
I don’t know your situation or what you resent so these are pretty scattershot recommendations. A trained therapist can help you identify the strategies that work for you and your situation. If you need help finding one, the directory on psychologytoday.com is great in the US.

I can sympathize with not having the money to pay for a search engine when others are free. Aside from the great results, I like the idea of paying for a search engine.
“If you aren’t paying for the product, you are the product being sold” is true, and I don’t want to use a search engine that is trying to sell me to advertisers. I want the company’s goals to be aligned with mine as a user. I want them to worry about making me happy as a user, not finding ways to show me ads.
