Hey!
Seriously, way too often I see people calling people that struggle lazy and tell them to stop going to McDonald's and Starbucks.
First of all, I've never been to a Starbucks and I don't remember the last time I ate out or was in a McDonald's. Also, I'm not buying a new phone every year, but here's what has happened: My rent was raised by $150, I pay more for the heating and electricity and water and I don't even understand how, since I'm trying to save up and use candles, yet still a month ago I received a massive bill.
I keep asking for a raise and telling my boss that prices have increased and everything's more expensive and we should get a raise according to inflation and all we hear is: “Soon”.
If someone on the internet is talking about their problems or saying they don't have money and they can't survive they get blamed for being lazy, not studying enough, for going to Starbucks, McDonald's etc, yet I'm at the point where I won't be able to survive soon either. I only have $1500 in my savings and I'm 30 years old. That's not good and if something hit me I'd probably be on the ground for awhile.
I love this sub and people in this sub because most of you are supportive and understand the struggles.
