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’m still living with my parents. I’m in my 30s. I’m unemployed. Yeah, I’m a failure.

You’re not a failure friend. The system is designed to impoverish.

Well where I live it’s normal to live with ur parent well into your 30s, I know more than a 50yo that still lives with their parents, we are totally fucked economically though.

I didn’t mean stop living with parents I meant stop failing.

Shit, I failed for most of my 20s and then it got worse. Waaaaay fucking worse, like, I Mean it when I say worst than for most people. I don’t really want to get into it here, but bad.

And then I learned some lessons and worked my ass off and here we are.
