My mortgage is 1/2 my income, my health insurance would’ve been $600 if I’d kept it, I’m taxed at a higher rate as contractor, gas is $4 a gallon, I need to learn asl to get a better job, i dont have the time or money to do so, and I owe family and friends $15k total
people survived the Great Depression and could still earn a month’s rent in a week. now we’re living through an economy where working full-time barely keeps you alive. how did we reach a point where being employed no longer guarantees a decent life?
