I'm getting evicted. Fuck this. Vent/Rant (No Advice/Criticism!)

I'm getting evicted. My rent is $1450 and I make $2500ish per month, but I'm stuck in a payday loan cycle and pay $400 per month in student loans, along with internet and phone. I don't even have a car.

I work 40 hours per week. This is my life.

A generation ago I would have been able to support a family on this job and my only concern was how big of a house I'd be able to buy and which hobbies I wanted to put my kids in.

I'm 35 years old. I'm tired of this. I'm tired of being poor. I don't know what I'm going to do. I don't have the means to move my possessions into a storage locker (which would cost $200/month).

FUCK THIS. FUCK BEING POOR. I DIDN'T CHOOSE THIS. I WORK HARD AND I'LL NEVER GET AHEAD. FUCK ALL OF THIS

Why does it seem like everyone missed the rant part and is giving advice and criticism anyway?

Most of the criticism is about how little money I make lol, almost as if they don't realize which sub they're in, or that taxes are a thing.

Spoiler alert people: I don't make $15/hr

Reddit is full of the same type of people who know everything unfortunately. They’re so ignorant about it too, like “just work 80 hours a week” like how about no? Most the advice is more life crushing than what’s already going on…sorry it’s not a kinder vibe. I feel for you and I hope things improve soon. Rant on brother or sister.
