I can relate, been struggling to get into a spot to invest more, but when you're already living paycheck to paycheck any additional expenses or surprises can feel like quite the setback.
For my case it can be frustrating because I work in a space which almost rewards misleading, malicious, and/or greedy behavior, not easy to maintain my morals & make the bag lol.
Press forward, stay open to new opportunities, we can do it.
Best wishes!
