Is anyone else feeling this way due to how expensive it is to just exist?
I am currently 30 years old and have really been struggling lately with how much money I pay just to exist and cover the basic necessities in life.
For example: it the last 3 days I paid my tabs ($225), my new 6 month auto insurance premium ($900), my car payment ($263), my rent ($1400 for a small as studio in the metro area, the bare minimum for what I need that wasn’t an absolute sh*thole). These are things I NEED. I don’t even take anything else into account and feel like my money disappears.
I’m currently a nurse in the Midwest and make decent money, but when student loans come due this fall (I have 60K left) I’m gonna be pushed to the brink.
Idk how this is sustainable. It’s so depressing. I just want to be happy and hopeful in life.
