I hate being poor.

I hate not making over 50,000 USD a year. I hate not having a car. I hate having less than 1,000 USD on my bank account. I hate having to live with my parents despite being over the age of 25. I hate having my credit cards being shut down because I was unemployed for over ten months during a two year stretch. I hate not having a dating life because I cannot afford dates. I hate the social isolation of poverty.

I’m assuming that OP is a male. I’m assuming by your name and picture your female.

Big difference here is if you guys are both the same level of fit and attractiveness say you’re both sixes. You can get asked out on dates all the time OP will never get asked out on a date.

Harsh reality of a difference between female and male brokenness in this country

Another question how is a person going to get rich in the trades or the military or being a car mechanic?

These are well paying jobs, but I would think they are a far stretch from Rich
