Sorry in advance guys, but my mental state is quickly spiraling down the drain along with every single penny I make. I'm not even sure what all I want to rant about at this point but here goes. I was doing some math today just to figure out what I'm currently making at my job and to see if I can potentially start saving. For context, my fiance and I both work at a restaurant that pays 9 an hour starting but he just got a raise, so there's that. I figured that every two weeks I'll literally only be make around 350 dollars and now I'm so fucking depressed man. How am I supposed to be able to afford to fucking survive on that, much less save for a house or a fucking car?! And this is while I'm living in one of the poorest states in the United States of America and the cost of living is supposed to be “sO LoW” here. It's total and utter bullshit that almost every single job here is forcing people to try and live on that when inflation is fucking through the roof! Even the jobs that pay well are shit bc they don't give you any hours so you're basically making the same crappy pay. Anyway, I hope this isn't too long and may you never have to live like I do.
