Dude. Same. I finally started making a 6 figure salary, and I feel just as broke as I did before. It sucks.

25% raise a year ago. The most I have ever made in my life. I used coinstar to buy groceries last week.

Who'da thunk that rent scales with income? You get paid more, they charge more. Almost like we're just funneling money to people who don't do actual work, lol.
