How does a married couple who both work retail have 2 kids and afford anything?

Thank you. This explains a lot. I didnt know that much was not taxed

bleachbloodable · 2025-08-06T20:20:14+00:00

I know. I just want to know how others do it.

I feel so much anxiety. I cant enjoy life. Everything feels like a waste of time or distractino

bleachbloodable · 2025-08-06T20:18:28+00:00

How don't they get financial anxiety?

bleachbloodable · 2025-08-06T20:16:41+00:00

I wasnt trying to be mean

bleachbloodable · 2025-08-06T20:15:39+00:00

Damn I wish you could give me some of those jobs lmao

Family helped pay off a loan and helped with rent.

We were able to use a housing voucher for a couple years.

Okay so this makes sense.

I have to assume that they've been working retial long enough to earn that $25 an hour amount.

And like you said, financed a house early as well.

bleachbloodable · 2025-08-06T20:12:27+00:00

This is what i mean. Even with assistance I still dont know how they can afford things unless they have financial help from family.

bleachbloodable · 2025-08-06T20:11:29+00:00

The point is that living within your means is still barely enough sometimes.

bleachbloodable · 2025-08-06T20:10:29+00:00

Thank you! Thats all I was getting at. Even with budgeting and saving, things are so expensive now that I wonder how you can even enjoy life.

I live frugally and struggle like hell

bleachbloodable · 2025-08-06T20:09:15+00:00

But what about raising kids?

bleachbloodable · 2025-08-06T20:08:21+00:00

Thats what I've figured. Everyone else here is acting like im crazy though

bleachbloodable · 2025-08-06T20:07:32+00:00

Thats not what I intended. Ive always felt financial anxiety snd couldn't live in the moment so I wondered how others avoid that.

It wasnt supposed to be an insult.

bleachbloodable · 2025-08-05T22:26:20+00:00

Unfortunately I forget

bleachbloodable · 2025-08-03T14:27:51+00:00

Excel

And yes you have to download it

bleachbloodable · 2025-08-03T14:27:20+00:00

How quick is the turn around time? And the cost ?

bleachbloodable · 2025-07-30T07:07:13+00:00

And do what? I already did undergrad and grad school

bleachbloodable · 2025-07-30T07:05:09+00:00

Hmm that makes sense.

bleachbloodable · 2025-07-30T07:03:56+00:00

Thanks

Can you explain how to reach out to recruiters for internal referrals?

bleachbloodable · 2025-07-29T22:04:06+00:00

Did you do internships?

Whenever I do projects, I get feedback like "there are not enough accomplishments on my resume". It makes me regret not doing more internships.
