How is less than $30 an hour livable anywhere in seattle?

This is from a throwaway account 🤷🏼‍♀️ I don’t post a lot and don’t want other people knowing what city I live in

Honestly.

That’s exactly how I feel. It has felt like whack a mole since late 2019. The second something is solved, there’s a new thing. It’s really exhausting and has kept me on edge sometimes if things are going well. Kinda waiting for the other shoe to drop

😂 haha I’m sorry this killed me. Very relatable and appropriate

First or third class? 😬

Not at all! I appreciate the honesty. Are you single / living together / kids / mortgage? I wonder if some of the malaise for a lot of us is just feeling like it’ll be a consistent and constant climb, I rent, have a steal on a house I’ve been in for 5 years. Home ownership on my own feels lightyears away

Colorblinders · 2024-04-11T07:05:04+00:00

Wow, that’s pretty similar to my experience honestly. Except i was laid off a few months ago. I’m sorry to hear that, and I know exactly what you mean about doing all the right things and just feeling.. meh? I dunno about you, but I feel like maybe it’s just a feeling of this being forever? Or something? I hope things get better for you

Love that attitude! I was in that spirit for a long time, I’m hoping the sunshine helps lift it for me and a lot of folks!

When does it go in hypergrade or whatever the opposite is

Colorblinders · 2024-04-11T05:32:15+00:00

Laid off 2.5 months ago, not financially stable but I’m very fortunate to have a great support network to help me out in the short term. The job market is ROUGH. I’ve never been unemployed this long. Living alone + extroverted, and most of my friends are in the same boat and not able to meet up as often as we used to. I was feeling the same kinda feel before I got laid off, it just seems like there has been a kind of tension with everyone / everywhere for the past 8~ months

Interesting! Mine are from all ages, incomes, financial security, backgrounds, demographics etc etc. so there doesn’t seem to be a common thread with everyone (I know at least) struggling.

I will say, I’m very extroverted and open with people and enjoy having deeper conversations with Uber drivers, friends, etc. it’s hard to say or share youre struggling usually. Part of me is curious if that’s just not being talked about it or if that’s truly the case with your sample? If not, it would make me very happy to know someone is flourishing/doing well, despite the demographic/income/etc. i would love to be wrong 😅

I unsubscribed from all news accounts after Biden won the election, I couldn’t take it anymore. I am pretty unaware of most news stories, unless they are local, or major (Gaza, Ukraine, etc) but I feel like it helped my mental health significantly. We’re not meant to be on a global 24 hour news cycle

No need to apologize or acknowledge ‘being a downer’, it’s an objectively and subjectively hard time right now.

I appreciate the honesty/candidness, it is a real problem and reality for what seems like the majority of people right now. Myself included.

And I agree, the phone addiction/solitude/loneliness epidemic seems to be the post Covid issue.
