The company I used to work for increased my wage every year by 25 cents and the cost of living goes up 1 dollar every year. Spending more to get the same while gas went up and rent went up while everyone was telling to work harder or that’s how life is was making me feel suicidal at points. The pay for CEO’s and manger has increased by over 100% while normal wages stay stagnant. My mental health was a shit box and it was a pretty common thing in my country. I’ve quite my old job because I got back problems but my new job started me on mini wage. I still feel like a failed Adult. I go shopping and spend 120 dollar for food that can barely last me the 6 days, gas prices are nearly 3 dollar a litre and public transport is so unreliable it’s a joke. I live with my parents and I still barely get by. I want to cry with how much of a child I feel like, I do everything I can to be an adult, I cook my own food, pay for many own electronics, pay my own gas and clean up as much as possible, I don’t have a student debt or spent money I don’t have to. I game and stay home weekend but because I don’t have a wife and kids they don’t see me as a adult. I feel like a leech on my parent and society. Anyone known how to deal feel like this?
