You need to change your approach to this stuff, not try and change the stuff itself. Fortune is not going to let up, ever, at all. In fact it's probably going to favor people who already have it easy and not you, so I'd lose those sort of expectations now before they get crushed later.
The real trick to surviving in this shithole is to learn to be happy with as little outside stimulus as possible. If you can do that, you're fuckin laughing.
