I worked 12h shifts for 7 days a week, as a european. Hoping to gather enough money to buy a house...guess what, my 40h job barely covers the cost of living nowadays and i'm not fit to work more hours. Plus i ended up running short with every passing year, when i needed a 200€ wage increase to afford a mortgage by the time i got that i needed another €150 wage increase.

A single family home used to be 150k, now those go for 500k and my wage ended up in the exact same spot where i started at the age of 21. (Before that it was a youth wage and surprise surprise i could rent a bigger house back then than i currently am on my adult wage)

Somedays i just want to stop showing up for work and stop paying rent, weaponize myself and keep the house by force.

Fuck this shitshow we are in.
