Despite working full time (social work) money is constantly tight. I can barely afford to exist let alone do anything nice for my life. I thought I had budgeted right for the month to go get my nails done for the first time in over a year but then my POS car’s battery died. We need more than affordable housing, medical care and access to healthy food. We NEED to treat ourselves every once in awhile. We need to meet our friends for lunch, go to the movies or get or nails done here and there to actually live an actual goddamned life. I’m so tired of working hard to barely exist. Sorry I just needed to vent but I’m assuming you all need a treat too.
