This might seem obvious but… can’t you decide to not do those things? You’ve heard the advice to live within your means? Having two kids and a non-income producing partner when you make minimum wage is not living within your means. That’s like buying a fucking Ferrari and complaining you’re getting killed on monthly loan payments. You make $30k a year? Spend less. Get a roommate, or a spouse, split rents. Don’t eat restaurant food or god forbid Uber Eats every damn day. You’ll be living a decent life on a workable budget in no time. I swear, so many complaints about not being able to afford anything to live sound like self inflicted wounds. People want to have kids and a housewife before they can barely support themselves. That’s not the way to live. It’s disturbing that the poor increasingly find themselves entitled to everything, without producing much value themselves.
