I’m over 30 and miserable. Don’t count me out on this one.
Look up “Hell’s Angels” by Hunter Thompson. There’s a chapter where he discusses the economics of being a biker/hippie circa 1970.
Angels could work six months as a Union stevedore and save up enough to live on the road for two years. A part time waitress could afford to support herself and her musician boyfriend.
There was a student in my elementary school class in the early 90s, whose single mother worked as a cleaning lady at the school and supported both of them with that money. They had a small apartment, a car and while she was considered poor, she always had enough clothes, school supplies etc.
My stepmom “paid her way through college bagging groceries.”
College tuition now: 30,000/yr
7.25 (min wage) x 30 (never give full time because laws) x 52 (weeks in a year): 11,310/yr before taxes.
Thanks for the advice Agnes.
No shit, either you’re homeless and unreported or you’re working a half dozen jobs to barely not be homeless while taking all the loans you can to live somewhat tolerably.
The US is going to collapse in a few years anyway, that’s the only hope anyone has left anymore.
Jokes on you, I turned 30 a few months ago.

It probably doesn’t help.
Should’ve fucking voted.
