“The pay is nice, but the amount of pointless nonsense is just ridiculous.”
So when Reddit useru/Corey_Beeasked: “What is something most people think they want until they get it?”
a lot of people provided their thoughts.

Here’s what they had to say below:
1.
Livestock other than goats or chickens."
u/PermaBanTogether
3.

“Their dreams being fulfilled.
“To be older.”
u/mediumokra
5.

“When I was a kid, I really wanted a cast or crutches.
Yeah, really not a good idea.”
“To get back with an ex.”

u/LeoMarius
7.
“A pool table.”
8.“Fame.”

u/Romnonaldao
“All the people wishing to be rich and famous.
I’ll take being just rich.
Nobody likes me as it is.

If I become rich and famous, people will pretend to like me.
Fuck those people.”
u/szczurman83
9.

“A (really) big house.
Just cleaning it is an impossible task without hiring professionals.”
10.“Kids.
I think most people are not prepared even if they love their kids.
The majority of parents suffer and so do the kids.
I guess being in education, I see firsthand lots of parents who should not have had kids.”
u/Homotopy_Type
“My advice to people is to not have kids unless you’re 100% into it.
Anything less than that is unfair to everyone involved, especially the kid(s).
I would kill any of you for my kids, I love them so much.
But it’s a hard fucking job being a parent.”
u/Dylflon
11.
“Being in a boss or leadership position.
The pay is nice, but the amount of pointless bullshit is just ridiculous.
There are better ways to make way more money for being hated.”
It’s fun, sure, but it is goddamn exhausting.
