Just been working and stuff tbh. Got myself into a pretty good gig that would normally require some secondary education, but with a stroke of luck and a couple years of relevant experience I got my foot in the door.
Now I'm dealing with the fact I purchased a car I could not afford, downsized it to something cheaper but still new and had to roll over a hefty amount of the old loan onto the new cars loan - and now I'm getting raped on payments for that. I'm making enough money to pay for all the necessities and still go out and do things, as well as spend money on my hobbies, but I have absolutely zero savings and it's pretty tuff lol. Don't finance stuff you can't afford folks.
Also random sidenote, I'm trying to figure out how so many people in my age group I know are traveling constantly? Many people I know I look at their Instagram's or whatever and they're traveling inter-continentally all of the time. I know I make more than they do, how do they afford it? Rack up credit cards? Parents help out? Whatever the case I'm pretty jealous, I wanna travel. I've never gone anywhere. Maybe they're just not buying cars they can't afford like I did, lol.
I'm sick of the inflation bullstuff too, mainly in regards to food. I don't see how I'm supposed to spend less than 400 a month on food. I know it's popular to meal prep, but I don't want to just cook a weeks worth of the same goyslop I bought for dirt and live off that you know? Life's too short to be cheaping out and eating nothing but chicken and white rice every day until I'm not poor anymore, idk
