    Yeah, I’m doing ok, but when I first started working I was earning about $20k per year. It’s amazing how much things can change.

      For sure, I was making good money before but got laid off during COVID. Took a massive pay cut finding a new job but am finally back to where I was before.

      Even with the money I make it’s a struggle. I’m not starving but I’m not going to be able to afford a house any time soon.

        I’ve been laid off twice in the last 5 years, so I get it. I make less money now than I did in 2018, but my job is a lot more enjoyable now.

        Good luck getting to the point of buying a house! I hope it’s not as tough as you think.
