yeah when I was in college, I paid my way no problem! my rent was around $650 total with utilities. groceries around $200 a month ish if I kept it light. so I maybe spent $1500 with additional stuff a month. I worked 2-3 jobs at a time so I made enough to cover my bills and still save up a bit.
BUT
now rent is like $1k minimum and the minimum wage in GA is still $7.25 an hour even working full time that’s still not enough to live on soooo
there’s no way
I mean as a server now I’m getting around $25-$35 an hour but my hours aren’t that great sooo I’m getting like $1400 a month which is trash even with no rent payment
like the cost of living is sky rocketing and the average salary is still lower than it’s ever been prices go up and pay stays the same and it’s wildddd
so big props to anyone who can afford to live on their own rn bc I would simply pass away from stress and poorness LOL
Damn, that’s way above the average Dutch salery. I did not even earn $1400 a month while working 30 hours a week here… But I guess living here is also somewhat less expensive, and I did not have the best job (supermarket).
If I would want to move out rn, I would have to spend at least $600 just for a place to live, probably around $150 groceries a month, and I just don’t know how I would ever get that money. I could take student loans, but the interest rate is made much worse for those here, so I really don’t want to… Plus I already have enough debts from my bachelor (they said they would be interest free but apparently they changed that and now the interest alone adds another big sum of money to my debts)
I mean you can’t blame a girl for being curious … But no, she’s more interested in the idea of taking a short break from being around people. Maybe she can even take a brisk walk with him if she takes on a chaperone … Maybe her aunt, who presented her might want to do so
I was like that yesterday… Two days ago I was finishing up a project and couldn’t sleep knowing if I did I would lose precious time and dissapointing a friend (but I won’t go into such detail) and then I got into bed becuase I didn’t want my mother to hear me typing away at 6 when she wakes up to get ready to work, but then I fell asleep and woke up at 8 or 9 and continued working until 13, and then at 17 the project was mulled over and sent … But then by 8pm I was overtired and couldn’t sleep and I knew I had to wake up early the next day.
@Ouijaloveletters so Bainbridge is now free, I’ll make the first post don’t worry, but I was wondering if you would mind Bainbridge coming over to tell her good news about his work proposition, I was thinking, he’d probably make a proposition to her about the factory which she owns
even working full time that’s still not enough to live on soooo
prices go up and pay stays the same and it’s wildddd
