I’ve been in the sales world (not happy to even say that anymore) and what once was a pretty lucrative position has slowly become a pay check to paycheck kind of job.
I make just enough to pay my 1200 a month rent (low for where I’m at), my water bill, electric bill, internet bill, cell phone, sewage and gas. That brings my total bills just for living to roughly 1450/1500 a month. I needed a car before the pandemic to travel 45 mins each way to work so that’s another 320 plus full coverage insurance which comes to 102$. I also have a 200$ student loan.
Thats 1922$. Just to sleep and drive a car. I make 1100 every two weeks right now and commissions (again, sales) have been nearly non existent.
I can’t eat lol, I can’t save $, I can’t have fun. I work to sleep and to pay off a car that I’m backwards on. This is the American dream and I’m done. I’m going to try stealing shit.
I’m done ranting, I’m sorry.
