How do you manage the anxiety related to the working and living conditions? I am fortunate that I (22) live with my fiancé (21) who has a well-paying job and that I make a decent amount while studying, but I get so anxious thinking that when our lease is up for renewal at the end of the year they might hike it up hundreds when we are just somewhat living comfortably as is.
I am very picky with the types of jobs I seek out but I am nervous that when I graduate that these jobs that brag about paying a “high wage of $15” will be unlivable and that living more than paycheck to paycheck will be an unattainable dream. It’s hard when you are just one person who can only do so much.
How do you manage this anxiety? Based on historical patterns is the rent ever going to crash and be affordable?
