I've been going cleaning out and getting rid of things because I'll probably have to move soon. I rent and the owners have made enough equity (of which I've contributed $80k in less than four years) so they will be selling.
I found the title to my grandma's house that she bought in 1969. It was $14k. I also found her W-2 from 2001. Her wages were $42k.
My grandma was a housewife with a high school education and she started that job in the early 80's, it was her first job in 30 years.
This year I'll make $52k with a college education working in healthcare with ten years of experience. This year I'll pay $20,400 in rent.
What's the point anymore? All I do is work so I can pay the mortgage for my landlords. The CEO of the not for profit I work for makes over $5 mil.
I'm just tired. I just work so I can pay for a place to sleep and get ready so I can go back to work and at the end of the day I'll have nothing to show for it.
