I’m in my 30s so I should be used to this by now, but this shit is getting so stressful guys. I have no savings, my checking account is drained every month with rent, and if there’s ever a serious emergency I have no safety net, I’m legitimately fucked. I’m one unplanned expense away from absolute ruin. Those in the same boat as me, how do you deal with this?
I’d argue against highly processed frozen food being cheaper. If you buy the basics in bulk it has been cheaper in my experience. You’ve gotta have the time to cook from scratch, though, and that’s rough when you’re working multiple jobs. People with kids gotta have it even worse.
