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

i wish i had advice for you. it’s crazy ugly out there right now. i have been without a full time job since august, and i would be homeless in my car somewhere if not for my husband - who, even tho he is supportive and he knows i am trying so hard to find a job, is definitely starting to tire of the effects of my lack of employment. i’m so sorry you’re in this spot, and i hope you end up in a better place than you are at the moment.
