QUEENS NY
I recently went from making 62k a year, 23k of which was off the books to 39k a year. It's a horrible feeling. And I live in NYC so that 39k is even less than you think. I've been weighing my options heavily lately so I'll definitely do something. But until I figure it out, its fukking horrible. I used to be able to basically go out to dinner when I wanted. If anything was wrong with my car I had the money. Never really had to adhere to strict budget because I had the money. I went on two vacations last year. And I had money left over to save. Now I'm getting by on the balls of my ass and it sucks. Thank God I was good with my money while I was making it because I saved a nice chunk until this storm passes over me.

i went from making $56k/year to 8.50/hr. moved back in with my parents. but my parents got money.

so, i'm good. if i had to pay mortgage/rent on 8.50/hr, i'd probably be back on the block.

If I was a girl I'd sell my body.

But I'm not. So I'd commit.

:sadbron:

nah, but seriously. too old. but again, my parents are holding me down until i get my feet back on the ground. job market is still tough, but i would rather bust my ass at my current job than sit on my ass and collect unemployment. the pay is shyt, but i got a real nice roof over my head, good food in my belly, and no rent.

to be real, they aren't hiring black men out here unless it's some slave wage bullshyt. i was lucky to have the job (bus driver) i lost.
