About to turn 30… I don’t think I’m ever gonna make more than 30k a year. I feel defeated
So yea, that’s the gyst of it. Coming to the close of my twenties and my best year barely topped 30,000. My credit is bad, my car (my only asset) is slowly failing, my meager savings was wiped out when said car broke down last week.
I’m feeling pretty hopeless at this point. I’m looking for any kind of advice. At all. Looking to the future, it seems pretty bleak.
My background is school dropout. Not in school anymore, but I do owe them money (lol). Now I’m a bartender working full time just to get by.
My income averages $2k a month currently, and my bills roughly 1300 a month before petrol and and food. I live in a rented unit but that’s about all I have to show.
I’ve been here nearly a year and I still don’t have much furniture, I can’t afford them. Last week my mechanic told me it’s only a matter of time before my car completely goes to heaven. So now I roll the dice every time I drive.
I feel like right now I’m stable financially, but I don’t see any opportunities to grow my income. I worry about my health, especially as I get older.
The people in my field who are my senior all have horrible stress injuries from being on their feet all the time. My back, legs, and ankles are already killing me.
It feels like I’m one looming disaster away from total ruin and it’s too late now to start from scratch in a different field.
I used to love the Humanities, Music, Photography, Video, Digital Media, Graphics, IT – you name it. Now I would literally take any job in any field at all regardless of my interest or experience.
