I’m not tired of working, but I am tired of being poor despite the fact that I’m working.

This part.

I'm making more than I ever have before but I still feel like I'm drowning.

This part! Like and I know I’m not making a lot but 25.83 an hour should be able to support me while also allowing me to have a nest egg at least! But nope nothing like that. It’s sad that my hope for my retirement is the world ending.

Same. Got a raise just last year.

Now it's laughable.

Yep! I remember making $250-$300 a week and being better off than I am now. And I make triple or more 😂 I remember being 20 and thinking "if I could make $500/week, I wouldn't even know what to do with it 😆
