$35k lol. You realize how hard it is to find something at that rate now? And it can be even harder to find something for less when you factor in ‘overqualified’ and illegals sucking up the low end of the market.

You’re living in some fantasy world where $35k is easily obtainable. Sure there may be job ‘listings’ out there, but a lot of it is fake as hell too. No real jobs there and if there is, 50 people trying to get that one or more.

So, the 50+ jobs I read in the physical paper were fake, as were the 1,000+ I am qualified for I found on Monster.com. Not to mention the 30 or 40 contacts that would hire me in a NY minute if I were to pick up the phone...

Right now, $35K is what I pay in taxes. It is what I made back in 1981. But a wise planner always dials up the worst-case scenario.

I’ve been looking for well over a year and every single day I search all of the job listings and many of them are long expired or fake!

I don’t think many realize the toll it takes on a person when day after day, you search for a job, apply and submit your resume only to not hear back or get a rejection letter.

It wears you down mentally and emotionally.

Around here, people are lucky to get a job making $8-10 per hour.
