I'm in my 30s so I should be used to this by now, but this shit is getting so stressful guys. I have no savings, my checking account is drained every month with rent, and if there's ever a serious emergency I have no safety net, I'm legitimately fucked. I'm one unplanned expense away from absolute ruin. Those in the same boat as me, how do you deal with this?

    You get some space by taking a better job and/or better budgeting

    OR

    You become numb to the grinding system

        Not degrading you at all, but have you tried recipes with rice and beans? It's filling and nutritious. Frankly I love the taste too

        I'm doing better now and still include them as staples in my week.

        There are a lot of remote data entry positions you could get into. You could study some data analysis on the side, using the data entry as a toe hold in the industry. Lots of free content and datasets to work with to learn on.

        Just a suggestion, not cutting you down.

        I'd be happy to chat more about that topic if you are interested.

        There's a lot of government positions that require just high school, and pay more than typical.

        But they're annoying to apply to, and often can make you wait a long time. Look into your cities job bank, same with state/province and/or federal level.
