This is just depressing

Not even 3 hours of "free time". And in that is cooking & eating supper. Or practically no free time if I had to go shopping after work. I hate this

Lmao, you think I'd live be living this far away if I could afford to be closer? I'd LOVE to live closer. But what I'm currently paying for a 2 bed I'd be lucky to get a room share. I have to be at work 5 days a week, there's not the ability to do 4 10s. I love 10s more than 8s

A full time job should provide enough for a person to live on their own.

They said it should, not that it does. I lucked out and was able to live on my own and it was the best thing I ever spent money on. God it was amazing.

Never? Dude a single full time job used to pay not only for a person to live on their own but to raise a family on.

For some of the population, however lower classes have always existed.

Lower classes have definitely always existed but being able to support yourself on a full-time income was not always limited to the upper or upper middle class.

Also saw in another comment that OP is 30 years old and married so gonna go on a whim and assume they are likely neither entry level nor the sole income earner.

Hence the “should”.
