Stressful. I take solace in the knowledge that I don’t live too far away from family, and that I could always go live with my mother for the rest of my life, and barring that, I could go harass a sibling for a bit.
I want to check out for a bit, fall asleep, come back, and somehow it will be the early 2000s again
Gave up the living thing.
I find most folks stop wanting the money once you eat their braaains.
I’m just sick of it, prices seem to jump every time I go the shops. I’m lucky I earn a good wage but even I’ve had to cut back. It’s depressing and feels neverending
Honestly one of the big reasons we decided to not have kids. With some budgeting we have a good quality of life as we both earn a good wage. Though we still have to be careful. Adding kids to that mix would mean we would struggle at times and have to cut back on the niceties to keep food and bills paid.
It is a depressing reality of our capitalist society.
That’s rough mate. How much does not having kids effect you?
Honestly other than a little pang when interacting with my nephew’s of am I missing out, it’s mostly positive.
We have time and money to do more of the things we enjoy, not that there’s much of that even without kids when you factor in 2 full time jobs.
That’s good its not effecting you too much. Bottom line is if you’re not financially fit, you’re not financially fit.
