My apartment lease is up and there are no affordable/safe housing options in my area or the next towns over. My rent is increasing and inflation is really hitting my town.
I have a full-time job as a graphic designer and I managed to find a part time job with easy hours and decent starting pay. I told my boss so there won’t be schedule mixups/overtime issues and they flipped out saying I shouldn’t do that because I’ll be too tired and it’ll affect my work there. I told them that I need to make more money to pay my bills and that I wish I didn’t need the second job but what else can I do? I’ve already cut back to bare necessities and other full time jobs are ones I don’t qualify for or they pay less than what I make currently.
I shouldn’t be made to feel bad for getting a second job. I’m doing what I can to make sure I can pay my bills and not go into debt or go hungry. It just feels like nothing is ever going to be good enough and that it’s not going to get much better…
