Does anyone ever feel like they're doing the right thing but there's no point to it? I have a job that many would consider as paying well, but it just feels like no matter what I can't keep up with everything. I can understand needing to ask for pay rises or finding new jobs to keep up with inflation but there's only so much you can do, especially when you're already reaching what appears to be the top remuneration in your field. I'm neurodivergent and I just want my own little apartment for myself but they're like $500 a week to rent - I'm sick of being forced to live with other people unwillingly. I've had maybe 3 OK months of renting with flatmates out of about 5 and a half years of doing it. I could fit the cost of rent in but it feels especially stressful thinking about the idea of something happening to my income while I'm paying that much and on my own, and also the fact that with everything going up I feel like I need to save as much as I can now and have no room to make tradeoffs. I just want my own space.

I'm not exactly sure what the point of this post is but if you've read this far, I really appreciate it
