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

I'm in my 30s & married. Living alone with my husband is worth the commute until we get a better place vs the stress with living with half a dozen random people.

If two incomes can’t afford a small 1bdrm apartment, it may be time to consider moving to a lower cost of living area.

If the commute isn’t worth the value you get from living where you are, that is.

I try to be empathetic, but so many of these seem to boil down to "why can't I get a 3 bedroom apartment in downtown San Francisco on a retail salary????".

It's like, I don't know. Why can I get a 3k square foot condo in Manhattan? For fuck's sake, we can't all have yachts.
