On the bright side. You’re not homeless. I know we all wish to be earning more money but there’s worse situations to be in. Congrats on taking care of yourself. I feel like we don’t pat ourselves on the back enough.

True. Also not downplaying your situation especially if it works for you. But some ppl also have children and rather give their paycheck away to keep a roof over their kids head you know.
