I love not being able to be self sufficient in my 30s because I get paid shit and then being told by the fed that inflation is being caused by people like me getting paid too much. I almost ended my life 2 years ago because of feeling hopeless about ever being able to earn enough money to have a decent quality of life that I could provide myself, I hate centrist democrats (i.e. republican-lite)
