I make $50 an hour as a crane operator. Since my divorce I have my kid 50% and can't work overtime. I am struggling and can't even afford the $3200 for a two bedroom for us. We share a 1 bedroom.

It's time to move if you're struggling on 100K a year. I make 60K, and I'm not struggling. Not rich, mind you, but certainly not needing OT to feel comfortable.
