30 years ago I was making $40k a year, big money for a WOC and enough to buy a studio condo. But even then it wasn't a lot. The mortgage and expenses was 80% of my pay after taxes and deferrals. It was hard, I had $100 left at the end of the month and literally never went out with friends. Its 10x worse now. Three jobs and zero hope of making it. Rent is now the same as what a mortgage used to be. Taxes are higher, food is astronomical. I am very hopeless. #financialtrauma
