Right??
Early Gen Z / very tail end of millennial here.
Got a job that pays ~80k (with promotion potential to 100k in a year) and I'm just.. dumbfounded at how yall are making it. I didn't grow up wealthy at all, and struggled with homelessness for a time, so I'm not new to the frugal game, but being able to put away only a hundred or two bucks a month after taxes is crazy with the hours and time I put into existing. I'd rather just not work at all if the end result is the same.
Doordash is a crux in my life and something I've definitely splurged on in the past, but groceries are just as expensive outside of rice beans and chicken. Baffling. :(
