the thread about nothing...

I'd love to live in Austin despite some minor flaws, the cost of living being one of them. I love the city of Austin and I loved going there when I was in San Marcos, and I especially loved it out there when my mom moved there, but it's just so expensive. Once I am done with the military I plan on planting the Vandelay flag in San Antonio.
why san antonio though?
 
You have a point but man I feel like a lion in a zoo while in corporate America. Is it really worth a 3rd of your life, and in some cases your health, to be in a stressful gig? I actually kinda like what I do, but the fact that I HAVE to be there afford this lifestyle is what's troubling. And it's a one year contract so it's not like I'd be leaving a career.

When I was doing uber eats full time, it was a physical grind but I was happy. Lonely at times but happy. And I was forced to do it full time to pay these bills. I'm single with no kids,

I just need to get away from being a slave to money. I can't deal bc I don't have a whole lot of it.

I'm sort of in that boat. I'm a graphic designer. I work(ed) the usual 9 to 5 in a cubicle. But this year, they've been on that extreme bull ****. "Temporary" layoffs to half the damn staff (including some of us in the design department) this year. WTF? This isn't retail. Get outta here with that. The DISRESPECT I feel is real. I've been doing Uber and Lyft for a few weeks and that money is better than my full time. Ik supposed to go back Monday. I'm working two weeks, gonna put in my 2 week notice (ONLY because I want to get my PTO). If it wasn't for that I would just show up, clean my desk out and bounce). **** that place. I'm gonna Uber and Lyft grind, work on improving as a creative during the day until the next opportunity presents itself. I gotta value my happiness over that slave mentality.
