    If I wasn’t married, I’d have to have roommates to survive, I couldn’t afford the average 1 bedroom apartment in my area and I make over 100k

      Same here. It’s depressing, too… I was really hoping to make good money, buy a good home with a nice yard, have pets and the whole thing…

      I also make over 100k and I can’t afford shit. It seems like every raise is met with an increase in cost of living. I’m just lucky to have kept my head above rising water.

      I also have kids, which factors into expenses and time quite a bit.
