      Yeah, I’m doing ok, but when I first started working I was earning about $20k per year. It’s amazing how much things can change.

        For sure, I was making good money before but got laid off during COVID. Took a massive pay cut finding a new job but am finally back to where I was before.

        Even with the money I make it’s a struggle. I’m not starving but I’m not going to be able to afford a house any time soon.
