Just got denied for sectionb housing because I made $200 more than their income cut off last year because I worked overtime. I never thought I'd have to leave MA but it's coming to that...
This state has increased rent costs so dramatically in the past ten years that it doesn't even matter that I make 55/year working for the Commonweath with a college degree, I'm still living paycheck to paycheck. I shouldn't have to get a roommate or be forced into a relationship in my thirties just to put money in my savings, but here we are...
Now with everything else starting to increase in price too, and an economical collapse looming on the horizon, I feel like I'm being pushed out of the state I grew up in. I just don't know what to do anymore. I wanted a house, I wanted a child, hell, even a dog, but I'll never be able to afford any of those things here and I'm heartbroken.
Massachusetts seems to hate its residents.
Not looking for anything I just needed a place to lay this out since I have no one to talk to about this. Feels like I'm drowning.
