I'm just at my wits end with America. I've been working since highschool and I have nothing to show for it. I'm 27 and still live at home. When I graduated college ofc I had debt, and I thought getting a good job would solve all my problems, NOPE!
I was able to live on my own around 2018-19 but then I had to move back home and I feel like I've been stuck here ever since. I stay with my mom, she's honestly a huge bitch and narcissists and I do my best to keep my distance and ignore her.
But I'm just feeling so hopeless lately because it feels like any job I get I won't be able to afford to move out. I finally got that $45k a year job we were told to aim for. But I still couldnt move out and my mental health has been obliterated.
I had a therapist in 2019 he was a sweet old man, but he died cuz he caught COVID and I haven't been to therapy since. But also any job I've had since then doesn't even cover mental health services and it's too expensive out of pocket
I just don't know what to do at this point, I've tried starting my own business, I've worked at “good jobs”, I even tried to be a content creator but it just feels like nothing is working. Like I'll never have enough money to actually make progress in life, I'm just stuck at my mom's helping pay half her bills and I'll never be able to get my own anything.
And I'm just pissed off and depressed because I'm expected to keep working 40hrs a week til I die, but I can't even get my own place?!?
I just have no idea what to do.
