    Me. I’m the guy that never met his wife.

    You have to work twice as hard, to live in a 1 bedroom apartment thats basically a studio apartment.

    You can’t even have pets. Not because the apartments won’t let you, but because it would be cruel to the animal to adopt them, and then basically abandon them because you’re only home when you sleep.

    Occasionally you see people walking their dogs, and you get sad. That could be you. Having enough free time when you’re not at work to walk a dog. Having free time to spend with a dog.

    But no. You have to spend $1,200 on an apartment you hate, to lead a life you hate, because you have no friends, again because who has free time to spend with friends? And all of this just to survive long enough to live to be elderly! Except uh-oh! None of your jobs ever gave you a retirement fund, and you were too busy barely surviving making ends meet working 3 jobs that now you can’t work to survive, and have no home, no savings, and no family because you were the youngest and never had kids. Dark days ahead. Welp, your break at work is almost over.

    Back to work, dickhead!

      Dang dude, do you need a hug?

      I’m a single dude who’s very happy. I live in a RV so I don’t pay rent. I’ve had my cat for almost a decade, she just sleeps all day so even when I am working it’s fairly inconsequential to her life. There’s also tons of other pets you can get. I don’t see friends often my I have a few I text regularly, which is enough for me. I am broke. But I do get to see my parents regularly since I’m nomadic and come by often.

      Life is pretty shit, but you can take steps to make it less so. Some are pretty big decisions (like moving into a RV full time), but for me that stopped my cycle of work-home-drink-repeat where I wanted to die the entire time.

    I would just get a “what the fuck and why?”, and not be able to say a thing when she comes home with 25 tiny buckets, just because they looked cute. But we support each other in our stupid endeavors, even if we don’t fully understand. Live your life my love, I’m still 'bout it

          Costco (in the US) hasn’t had Polish sausage for a decade, maybe 2. Only hot dogs. They switched to paper bags many years ago also.

      In most Costcos I’ve been to in the last five or so years, they’ve swapped from foil to some papery wrap.
