The cost of living is out of control, my wife and I never go on vacation and haven't since before the pandemic, work like dogs, and we wanted to upgrade our home to get a little more space for the kids and stop paying condo fees, but due to interest rates and high prices we could barely even buy the house we currently live in.
Cost of living is absolutely out of control and wages seem to have stagnated. How are others handling this? Everywhere I look there are fast cars, full restaurants, people just getting back from Mexico. What the fuck are all these people doing for work?!
PS: I'm in Canada. Things here I feel are much worse than the USA.
canadian here also. find you a nice homeless shelter, its a much better rent situation
I'm living out of my truck the past month tent camping or visiting friends. Went from Michigan to Georgia then St Louis, Denver then Grand Junction, Durango then New Mexico, hitting AZ and Utah next...
I don't know what OP is whining about, I'm unemployed and me and my dog are able to vacation for months each year.
How do you pay for gas and food?
I work a few per diem gigs, wire up a building here or there for a few months whenever I need money. Some only need help for a couple months, some I get sick of... agency electrician essentially.
Old school journeyman!
