I can’t fucking do it anymore

[Anonymous No.50205314]

Salary: $75,000
Annual take home pay after taxes and health insurance: $52,000

$1,400 monthly for a 650 sq ft. apartment: $16,800 annually
$150 monthly in fees and utilities: $1,800 annually
$400 monthly for food: ~$5,000 annually
$150 in gas monthly: $1,800 annually
$40 gym membership: $500 annually
$1,000 in auto insurance annually

There’s $25,000 left, but there’s no saving for retirement, no traveling, no entertainment, no random emergency expenses, no clothes, no gifts, no anything besides subsistence.

It became 95% more expensive to own a home in my area in the past two years. I cant fucking do it anymore. Not like this. I’ll kill myself wt this rate, this isn’t living, I’m not getting ahead, I’m a shell of my former self.

Please, give me a higher paying career that isn’t mechanical engineering. This is brutal. I’m never going to get ahead doing this.

What are you talking about? You've got $5,000 a year to spend on clothes, travel, and entertainment, save the rest and you can buy a house in 3 years. You can worry about retirement after that. If you're not a complete retard with crypto, you can probably get there in 2.

Stop caring about money and keeping up with the Jones. Find a more enjoyable job in a cheaper area, even if that means taking a pay cut. Pursue hobbies that actually bring joy to your life.

I worked my life away for 10 years straight, skipping vacations and working 10-12 hours a day, 50 - 68 hours a week. The pay was okay, but in the end it isn't worth it. My mental state was deteriorating more and more every single year.

It's cliché, but money literally WILL NOT bring you happiness. In many cases, it just creates more stress.

yes. they're counting on retards wasting and expending their entire lives wage slaving in misery at the bottom to keep the economic status quo and magnify the gains made by the top .25 %. They need more from the likes of you and they'll get it. They'll never compromise on their own compensation and dividends.

They expect you to die in poverty because this economic system depends on losers suffering, like you.

This is the democracy they've spent the last century exporting all over the world. Shut up and don't be a sore loser, peon.

you're a retard, you're supposed to live with your parents while saving and investing everything until you make it. Instead you went and got a million expenses.

Wut? It seems like that $25k that's left over would be used exactly for that. This might be the most retarded post I've seen on /biz/ this week.
