Last year it hit me really hard. For a while I was considering moving in to a smaller place and selling a few belongings. However, this year is much much better, it’s too early to say yet, but this could be the year I earn more than any other year in my life so far. I am now considering moving in to a bigger place, and getting some new belongings.
However, even though I’m earning a sick amount of money this year, and have a good daily bit of cash just for spending and fun, I’m still finding things very expensive.
Every time the bank or the government realize I have been paid, they try and take as much as they can in fees and other bullshit. Just last month the government tried to get 300 bucks out of me, by dragging up some bullshit tax thing from 7 years ago. It’s only because I keep all paperwork that I was able to prove they were just trying to milk me.
Last year I felt like I was living in the desert, sustaining my self by slowly consuming the corpses of my friends that had not made it. This year I feel like I’m the big cheese on wallstreet, who is living the high life but will be ruined with one wrong move.
EDIT: “this year” meaning from march onwards.
