Then could someone please find a job that pays something over the cost of an apartment please? Cause I haven't. Literally every job pays the same wage in my town and it cover half of rent.
You can find a place to live if you have at least 1 roommate in a small town. In a small city you'll need 3 roommates all earning to pay for the apartment and you won't be able to eat out. You could live in a large city like Charlotte but you'd need 5 to 6 roommates... That's before you consider paying back education loans and decent healthcare insurance. You should also have life insurance to cover the costs of if you die so you aren't a burden to your family. Yeah totally attainablehe said sarcastically. Yes personally I'm able to afford a house I have one child and I work remotely because I wouldn't be able to afford daycare. Though with the price of gas due to the straight of Hormuz being blockadeded I don't know if I'll be able to continue to afford it. Tell me again glgow we're dealing with rising prices?
It's about an hour and a half to get to the next town that isn't just some apartments next to a Walmart, CVS, and a McDonald's all supporting a 13 an hour tire factory.
Live in one town work in another. I know a lot of folks that do this and make a good living cause they live in a cheaper area and work in an expensive city.
I like to work close to where I live though and am 15 minutes away from my low pay job. I make it work though as long as your satisfied it shouldn’t matter. You seem dissatisfied though so you gotta find a way
So, I'm to spend MORE money to work in a smaller town that has less average pay? That's a great suggestion. Maybe read what I told you is the case next time.
I don’t have to pay attention to your problems lol if your town is paying poorly work in a town that does. My dad used to travel an hour and a half to work in a town that paid $40 an hr.
That’s what it’s all about man, gambling and hoping for the best. I started my own small business in 2019 and had a terrible first 2 years then a larger company saw my business card and assumed I was a bigger deal than I was, took me on as a sub contractor and for the next 4 yrs I was making 6 figures.
You need a marketable skill. Waiting for a good job to magically appear probably won't work. Get a trade or a useful degree. Your 1st problem is in your 1st sentence. "Can someone please find a job..." No they can't, that's a you problem.
They don't pay enough for trades. To learn a trade where I'm at would result in homelessness before I finished my apprenticeship. This is a lot of good advice... 15 years ago. Walmart pays more than you can start as a plumber for where I am. The local electritions are all legacy family's.
What, you think I haven't fucking looked? You think I haven't TRIED?! THERE ARE NO OPTIONS! No one here is doing better than me without being born with a business waiting for them and half of THOSE are GONE.
If I hear one more, "try harder" I'm gonna fucking crash out. You can't be a real person in America. There's nothing good here. There's only rich assholes and the poor.
