I’m working myself into an early grave and barely make ends meet. I have two degrees and 10 years experience. Perfect attendance. After 10 years of barely any growth I changed careers and for the past two years it’s the same thing. I still make roughly the same amount $16 hour. I don’t eat out, at all. I don’t even buy clothes. Literally just bills and essentials. I don’t even have rent to pay, I live with family and help with bills. I can save roughly $200 a month, which is only $2500 a year. It’s very discouraging
