I’ll second stray’s opinion, but also add on that you’re typically fighting for a job in those shitty areas. Anon is likely incredibly lucky to have gotten the above average wage job, and will still be in a big competition with others for the average wage jobs.
Comment on Anon lives on a budget

I get that. I do feel that with 15 extra hours per week, I could figure out some kind of side hustle. Even if all I did was sell random crappy art for cheap, it’d keep me saner than if I spent that time on 4chan

Working two jobs can be difficult to impossible. The schedules usually aren’t fixed and cause frequent conflicts. A lot of places aren’t even willing to hire you if already work elsewhere because they don’t want the hassle.

Dont quote me on this but having a 2nd job would disqualify them from Medicare, which appears to be their only form of health insurance.

That makes sense - for a given value of sense. American health care is just evil.
