I feel like I shouldn’t live here
23F, base pay is 78K. I’m just so utterly jealous of my coworkers (the early career associates) who I know have help in life and I can tell were from completely different sides on reality bc they live in cow hollow, marina, Russian hill, etc
Actually the other day I had to bite my tongue when a coworker told me that I should look into living in those areas since I have to move.
I can’t even afford sf, I got lucky on sharing a house with some girls in outer sunset but we’re having rodent problems for like 7 months so we’re ending the lease, so I’m moving to Oakland next month, paying 35% of my take home pay on rent and utilities.
And then I’m jealous of my coworkers who live at home so they’re saving it all. I feel like I should just move back home but I don’t got a job waiting for me.
I just hate walking around downtown looking at people and thinking besides the people who aren’t visibly homeless, oh you definitely make much more than me 🤣🤣🤣
