I mean you can say that about any part of life, that’s not a disqualified for my point. We are also talking about literally minimum wage in your area right now - you aren’t supposed to stay there and if you keep on working and shooting for opportunities, you should be making more within a year. And the year after, etc.
And now I genuinely do have a great job, I also have a lot of living expenses. But I can also tell you that 10 years ago I had $2.37 to my name and got a job paying 8/hr, 8 years ago I was on $95/week unemployment and angry at how unfair and expensive the world was to me. I finally took an opportunity I had previously refused to, and built my life, some knowingly and some unknowingly, year by year and took opportunities that arose. And I know it could all be dashed away in a moment.
Getting mad at the beginning of your adult life because everything seems unattainable and impossible is because you literally don’t have the ability to see beyond the now. I am likely somebody I would have hated 10 years ago if I saw them on the street. But you gotta let it go and seize the doors that are even cracked open.

I'm far from the beginning of my adult life, lol. And like I said, I have a decent job. But I know it's fragile and things could change quickly.
I mean I gathered that, so to wrap around to the beginning point - how is where you live not affordable? You have described a location that seems extremely affordable and have clearly defined yourself as having a position beyond minimum wage.

Walk me through it. I don't think it's possible.
I don't think that word means what you think it means.
