I’m a 27 year old male. I have a bachelors degree in ag business and currently work at a bank as a lender (hate every minute of it) I am going on 3 years with the bank and have received a 2.5% raise each year plus a small bonus. My salary and bonus totaled about $48k, so I have never seen a tax return touch $50k yet. This is honestly not how I saw my life going. I went to college so I wouldn’t have to struggle with finances, but here I am struggling with finances. My question is, is this typical?
It’s gotten me seriously depressed. I don’t look forward to anything anymore. I don’t do things on the weekend and have no interest in things I used to like. If this is how the working world is I’ve had enough. I would literally rather kill myself than spend another 40 years working for peanuts and getting 2 weeks off a year. But the other 50 weeks of the year keep me so pissed off I don’t even enjoy the time I am off.
