Very much a monkeys paw situation that I asked the universe for a job in my industry making minimum X (because I did the math and that would be the minimum to be comfortable for me and how I live) and got one except the X is only on paper and the paychecks never come on time and when they do they bounce and I'm living in more financial insecurity and poverty than I ever did when I worked for minimum wage at fucking H&M as a cashier.

#i should not be staring down $3.00 in my checking account after i pay rent this month #on paper i make more than my mother made and raised three kids on #on paper i make more than 75% of people my age #and yet im eating ramen and writing bad checks to the student loan servicer because my boss owes me 6k he can’t pay #and ive been working for free for the past month because he's so far behind on payroll #and i cant loose this job but i also cant afford to stay
