This is me.
This is me and I make well into the six figures. And I’m not spending above my means. This fucking sucks.
I've decided to prioritize hiring help this year. A cleaning service, scheduled grocery delivery, babysitters. We can't thrive without a supportive community, and unfortunately it's hard to build that naturally these days.
They got you a tread mill... working for daddy, so you can pay other people to do normal life duties for you.
Absolutely agree. But that's the state of things, and my mental health has been in survival mode for years now... I won't make it much longer without help with normal life duties.
This isn’t crazy spending. Cleaning service is maybe optional, but, grocery delivery and babysitting services is pretty standard and sometimes necessary.
