Chat is a text only community for casual conversation, please keep shitposting to the absolute minimum. This is intended to be a separate space from c/chapotraphouse or the daily megathread. Chat does this by being a long-form community where topics will remain from day to day unlike the megathread, and it is distinct from c/chapotraphouse in that we ask you to engage in this community in a genuine way. Please keep shitposting, bits, and irony to a minimum.

As with all communities posts need to abide by the code of conduct, additionally moderators will remove any posts or comments deemed to be inappropriate.

Thank you and happy chatting!

Started applying today to put my feelers out there to see if anyone even responds. Like the best I can find is $18 an hour factory work. This was the same kind of work that existed during covid, nothings changed! It's still shit!!

You gotta keep in mind that not a lot of people have opportunities like that. You seem to have hit a rare sweet spot of decent job within a low COL area and an ability to save enough money to buy a home straight up. That's just not the case for the vast majority of people. Pittsburgh, for example, has that absurdly low COL for a city and the housing market really hasn't exploded there either. Or at least not for areas outside of the immediate suburbs.
