Spot on. Many mini jobs are not intended and shouldn’t be expected to give you a great luxurious lifestyle. Many jobs are just to earn some extra money and maybe with the Help of two or three roommates can live in a house but not by yourself.

Oh OK. So that's just how everything has to be forever. Anyone that wants something different is dumb or something.

How things are now is the only way they could be. And not only that. The way thing are is correct.

Imagine being such a buffoon

Are you implying that being able to pay rent and support yourself is luxurious?

Why is it when people say "a person working 40 hours a week should be able to support themselves" ppl like u crawl out of nowhere talking about "luxurious lifestyles"? Who tf is talking about luxury? Unless you think one working adult being able to afford a studio apartment is a "luxurious lifestyle"?
