Hopefully she’s in a country that doesn’t have private health care. But yeah, either way, the health problems that will come later on won’t be worth the money saved.

She’s fucked then. Isn’t capitalism great? Isn’t America great?
LOL $100k as a down payment? Aren't houses in SF like $1.5M? Might as well just accept it's not happening tbh.
She could get some type of assistance as a first time homebuyer and start out with a crappy rate until she’s able to refinance. Better than paying a landlord. I imagine her rent is astronomical.
Okay first I was gonna say "content creator" isn't a real job but then saw she's making $28 an hour as a fucking barista, that's wack
This is basically the state of tradework as it stands right now
What is “tradework”?
To me that’s electricians, joiners, gas installers…
Yeah you got it. All these jobs put a huge strain on your body and although they pay more than non trade work all that extra money will eventually go to health problems you accrue over the course of your career.
Very true. Thanks for answering.
No problem. I’ve been doing long hours in the trades for a while. I’ve recently had this revelation myself and started looking for work that more around the 40h mark instead of the expectation of doing overtime. Still in the trades though since that’s what I know, but when it really comes down to it the only people who remember all the overtime you did will be your children.
Very true. My dad worked a lot. It provided a great life for us. Not spoiled, but never without. Its a hard balance.
