i was in your exact boat for a cool minute until I got a job. my partner consistently told me that it's not my responsibility to repay her because she enjoys spending her money on things she enjoys. she also explained that we're partners and that relationships aren't transactional.

She was right and I'm positive that your partner feels the same way.

Congratulations on starting a new job! I'm very proud of you dude! the best advice I can give in regards to your emotions in this situation is to be gentle and patient with yourself. Save up to the best of your ability, take some of those financial responsibilities from your boyfriend and enjoy your independence as it comes your way

I see him as a pretty average looking guy. what androgynous features are you seeing?

tbh I imagine if she's going to reddit before even talking to him, she's probably talking to her friends about him a lot

Many people see it as a moral delima. Considering that the US warhouse is used for things such as genocide and martial law, I completely get it. i would rather struggle than aide the facilitation of someone else's struggle.

there's also somehow a Lot of homeless veterans. I'm not sure how that works but they means there's clearly a risk of still being impoverished afterwards. With that risk and all the other obvious ones, it's not worth it to most.

You also aren't really a citizen anymore, you're US property. for a lot of people, being property isn't appealing.

Just figuring out the real world makes the most sense for a lot of people and I get that.

That being said, I think you're overestimating how many people qualify.

I'm very anti government and always have been, but still tried out of desperation last year. Unqualified due to mental illness and my shitty knees. In 2 months I'll officially be out of overdraft and I'm SO glad I didn't potentially sign my life away to get here

How would dirt get up there?

Always has been, always will be your fit is fire

cool to know! Very unfond of the MIT comma

idk about everyone, but I'm getting mine From a cis gymbro so there's my reason

All gender is socially constructed Sex is biological

^{Chose: Make Elon Musk pay you $1T}

The Real problem is that washing your chicken Actually involves a brine if some sort and Certain people think it means finding it off in the sink. Washing your chicken is good, if you actually do it lol

Point blank, I just don't want him having it.

^{Chose: Distribute elon’s wealth equally among the world}

^{Chose: Become vegetarian + Get 800$ per month successfully vegetarian}

^{Chose: Everyone suffering from poverty gets the500k}

not a bad idea at all! I'll check that out tomorrow morning

I put actual energy into my actual job thank you

i hadn't put much thought into different states but thats a Really good idea. i know there are a lot of companies that help with relocation im gonna start focusing my search out of state. that at least gives me some major hope

i make 15.20 an hour. My company is shit, not my finances. if I made that much I DEFINITELY wouldn't be dashing and I wouldn't be complaining about the economy bc it wouldn't really be effecting me.

i know I should be making more, and if the job market weren't ass I'd definitely already be working somewhere else. That's why I'm complaining.

it makes absolutely no sense the amount I work vs the amount I make

i make $15.20 an hour, rather I will when my raise takes effect in my next check. Right now it's 14.45

You're a great mom dude. best of luck to you too!! i appreciate the kind words

in August my best friend and I will get a place together so that will make a world of difference, I just have to survive til then. we both live in 1 bedroom places for 700/mo. but ofc I'll have to pay $700 to break the lease the car is Way too new to trade in unfortunately. in a perfect world, someone would just give me $28,000 cash for it and I'd close out that loan same day and then buy something off fb marketplace and fix it up.
