I was making $64/hr with one dependent, 150k in student loans w/ wild interest rates, 1 bedroom 1 bath rent, car payment on a Honda, 1 pet. I wasn’t being frugal, yes, but literally was only saving like $3000 a year.
This was at, what I felt, was a class traitor job, so I left. Still struggling to find a full time job in my field that does not turn me into a class traitor
Even if I were to have doubled my savings, that’s still only $500 savings a month on a 125k salary. Shit is fucking wild out here.
Ugh that’s the perfect way to put it and makes me unbelievably even more disgusted
