A significant portion of Gen Z and Millennials report that their earnings are barely covering their expenses, leading many to take on additional work.
One of them is Jourdan Skirha from Arizona. The 29-year-old recently shared a video on social media, expressing her challenges in managing finances despite juggling three jobs. In the video, Jourdan openly discusses her financial struggles and seeks to know if others are facing similar issues.
This straightforward and honest video resonated widely online, sparking widespread conversations about the present challenges in managing living costs and finances.
“Does anyone else feel like they’re absolutely drowning financially? As a single 29-year-old woman, I have three jobs and I’m still struggling. I’m just getting myself farther and farther into credit card debt because I don’t have enough after the first of the month to avoid using it.”
“It just isn’t working. Full-time job – not doing it, got a second job, it’s barely doing it. The third job – hit or miss.”
“I feel like I’m drowning and I don’t know what to do. I don’t know if any industry is doing well right now.”
“I used to be a server, I used to have all cash every night, whenever I would work, walk out with cash. And I don’t have that anymore, and I don’t even know if they’re doing okay.”
“I have seriously considered quitting my full-time good job to go back to serving because at least I can use my personality and try to get more money. Minimum wage or what an entry-level job pays people nowadays is sick.”
“Do I just find a boyfriend so I can split everything with him? Sorry, I’m too stubborn and I just want what I want, and I just can’t do that or be that way.”
“So yeah, friends, I might say no to your weddings, I might say and I have said no to bachelorette parties, I just can’t.”
@jourdskir I just want to know if any other single millenials are in the same boat as me or if im the huge problem.
