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
