Everything is getting more expensive, wages are staying the same. I’m 24 and life feels impossible. Wtf do I do
I dropped out of my private degree, now I have loan debt crushing me at all times. And groceries, rent EVERYTHING is getting more expensive and I haven’t had a raise in over a year. I barely make enough to live.
After I get paid and pay my bills and necessities I might have like $20 left. This job is the best pay I’ve ever gotten and it still sucks, and I’m not qualified for anything else.
Life seems impossible, Gen X had the last chance at a decent life and the rest of us are screwed unless your parents can bankroll you, which mine certainly can’t. I don’t even talk to my family.
This is too hard and I wanna quit. I can’t keep living like this for 5-6 more decades just miserable 24/7 and only here because I am, because my parents couldn’t pull out

- I hear you brother. Home prices are sailing away from me at a speed that I don’t think I can catch up to. Not sure how anyone keeps up anymore. No wonder the birth rate is declining
- i feel this so hard bro :/ my whole family is upper middle class and then there’s me who is doing deliveries to pay my bills and living off cup noodles. they all turned their back on me because i went against them once.
i have cc debt and huge student loan debt. feels like even if i work forever i will never be able to relax. you’re not alone. i see you and i’m rooting for you - I feel you on that, I recently moved in with my mom and let me tell you, things aren’t easy. Me, my sister, and my mom are working and still couldn’t make enough for groceries and other expenses.
- I’m 35 and I feel ya. Hell, life just feels exhausting and doing this for another 50 years sounds like torture. I’m hoping I can figure something out cause I’m making the same as you, and can barely afford to live
