    Agreed. When I was hard up I worked a full time retail job that paid commission, used that wage to pay for community college in cash, and had a part time job that both furthered my career and gave me spending money. Slept in my car and bathed at the college gym. A few years later I’m making 6 figures.

        It literally is. This is what every conservative thinks life should be.

          You think no one ever does this? I did it, worked 2 jobs + gig work, saved up enough for a security deposit at a place.

          I was also very lucky in that I had a friend willing to loan me the 1st month rent, but I could have saved it eventually
