ok. I'm officially depressed.
How is it that someone can work 40 hours a week 11 and a half months of the year and not be able to (within reason) afford to move into their own appartment? They take $400 out of my paycheck in taxes and insurance a month! If I didn't have insurance or taxes... I'd be able to afford it... If I were able to find a better paying job... I'd be able to afford it. As it is I can only afford to put out 500 a month and that has to include utilities. Where am I going to find that? even if it is just a room in someones house... and with that figured they have to be okay with me having people sleep over... because otherwise it would be just like living at my parents place anyways. Then add the fact that I need to stay in the north seattle area... *flump*
I thought by the time I was 22 I would not be living at my parents place still.
The more I think about it the more depressing it becomes. I just want to cry out of pure frustration.
