I (20) work as a teachers assistant at a higher school. I make around 1000 dollars a month. I used to spend around 200-250 a month on gas. (It’s a 20 minute drive to and from work every day!. Now that gas has gone up to $5/gallon, the amount I spend is double. $500 a month on gas Thats half of all my money. I work full time and I feel like my district is robbing me anyways, and now this. I was almost at a place where I could move out, but had to dip into savings for fucking gas. Half of my living expenses are fucking gas. I hate it here.
