“It feels like I’ve been working harder and harder and sliding backwards down the scale,” she says.

Making $50k in a small town and still "scraping by" is scary. Maybe I'm just old, but I'd hoped that kind of income would be enough for some kind of comfort.

Thanks for informing the group that you’re out of touch and don’t know what you’re talking about.

Whatever, I'm the one who's out of touch but I have a very good budget and all my bills are paid. Do you own a house? Because I do and I manage all the household bills and I do know how to make ends meet on a budget.

You are free to ignore my info at your own risk.

Do you own that on the mentioned vet's salary?

I bought it when I was making about $40k salary actually
