#StrugglingInThisEconomy #EconomicSurvival #TeamSanity
Hey y’all, how do you manage to keep your cool in this wild economy? ๐ค It seems like prices are sky high, low paying jobs are everywhere, and landing a decent job feels like winning the lottery. Isn’t it insane how the person interviewing you can’t even set up a proper teams meeting? ๐คฏ And don’t even get me started on those rejection emails with the most absurd reasons ๐.
I’m just trying to figure out how everyone is coping with the madness of it all. Share your tips and tricks in the comments – because let’s face it, we all need a little help in this chaos!

Same way as everyone else. Head down, eyes on the prize. Itโs a jungle out there.
Being age and mentally adroit is extremely helpful
I lost my sanity.

Here I feel you so hard. Itโs waste of time this year!
I don’t.
I’m constantly stressed and angry. I’m sick of the job hunting BS, I’m feeling the crushing weight of poverty, sick of the gaslighting of everything supposedly being great, I’ve had it up to here with all the “realist careerist tough guys” telling me to “toughen up and grin it and just get one more qualification, buttercup!”, sick of being told to go back to part-time McJobs, and I’m done hearing about how all my suffering is just “necessary to save the economy!”
I’ve completely snapped and am on board the “revolt now” and “hang the rich” train at this point.
We donโt, Iโve had to book therapy multiple times this year, and had to cancel sessions because I canโt afford it
I may have to start posing as a homeless person so the shelter will feeed and bathe me because food is too expensive to afford and my unemployment is running out
By living in North Dakota making $16.48 for the rest of your life because you canโt afford to move out of state unless you have a roommateโฆ social media jobs out of state pay $15-$18 an hourโฆ I have a degree in advertising and PR, have worked in media for 2.5 years AND made a social media account to gain experienceโฆ
My sister? Got a degree in social work and right out of college will make $60k and hasnโt struggled at all in her life financially and itโs a slap in the face.
Side note: I know social work is a hard field but thatโs not the point. The point is $16.48 is not a liveable wage.
Also I am happy for her itโs just a slap in the face because everything school and job wise has came easy to her and itโs frustrating. I work my ass off and I seem to get nothing in return. I have looked for jobs for around 5 months at this point.
It’s either my business skyrockets within the next year & half or I’m off to the military at this point.
As someone who survived the first recession, I just tried to keep hope alive that I will find something. But most of the time I was bitter and angry.
You don’t LOL
But seriously, there’s a place nearby that sells food for CHEAP. “Regular” grocery stores can turn away an entire pallet of stuff for a single damaged item. Instead of letting the items go to waste, they are bought by this nonprofit for pennies on the dollar and resold to the community. Near the store’s exit, there’s an area where they put free bread, yogurt, and fresh veggies/ fruit(s) that will spoil soon. I’ve picked up tons of veggies to eat within the next few days or to make soup out of.
Itโs a weird mix of staying level but also โstaying saneโ and accepting how bad things are also perpetuates things.
It really is a delicate balance.
I really kinda don’t. I think if one more customer says “nObOdY wAnTs To WoRk AnYmOrE!” I’m gonna quit on the spot.
I can’t even get the time off to go to therapy more than once a month. Even if i could I wouldn’t be able to afford it.
I’m stuck underemployed at a dead end job, I’m never gonna afford to move out, I have 20+k in student loan debt and I’m so tired.
Find a way to create your own business.
I made it through the 08 recession and proceeding 10 year rebuild. King Kong ainโt got shit on me.
Iโm staying sane because I can see that society is on the brink of collapse. So iโm just hoping eventually **nobody** has a job and we can all just live off the land or by scavenging ๐
