I'm definitely not bringing in big bucks haha, but I can afford my rent without a roommate and my car payment, so I guess I'm doing better than a lot of people. I save over $1,000 a year by not having to deal with commuting much too.

It costs so much money to go to work it’s nuts.

And personally I find I spend way more money when I’m at work. (Coffee runs, lunch, lottery tickets etc).

Like yeah I get that it’s my job as someone who isn’t rich to stimulate the local economy rather than say, redistributing the wealth of the top 1% or something crazy like that, but not going in to work for a while made me realize how much working actually cost me!

True. I would grab a coffee early in the afternoon like twice a week when I was in person everyday and go to CVS at least once a week. Not anymore for both of those now hah
