“The paths of life are not as I thought, as I imagined, they are not as I believed.” We quote the lyrics of the old tune The ways of the life because hearing the story of another young woman who realized how much it hurts to grow up and, above all, that it hurts more in the wallet, made us want to cry to free ourselves from the financial stress for which, like her, many of we too have passed.
It is true that when we get our first jobs, we enter with the illusion of not only being able to meet our expenses, but also with the desire to become independent and have the ideal life that we see on television, although responsible, of course. Something like this could have gone through Haley’s head after she started working to be independent, but she soon collided with the harsh reality, since her salary is so low that she can’t even afford a small luxury, something like a Starbucks coffee.
It was through her social networks that Haley, a 20-year-old Canadian girl, shared how hard it is to be an adult, because she tearfully vented to users, commenting that her salary is practically not enough for anything, not even to be able to become independent. and rent a decent place alone.
According to the girl, she worked almost non-stop and was paid so little that this caused her to cry, perhaps out of anger, frustration or stress.
I literally work every f*cking day except one day because I couldn’t and they only paid me 987 f*cking dollars. What the fuck? My rent is $1045. I have nothing to wait for. I can’t even afford Starbucks.
In addition to this, Haley added that her festive and Christmas spirit is not what she would like to have, because she could not even celebrate it, since if she does, she will not have money to pay the rent. In addition to letting off steam, she took the opportunity to advise her followers not to move from her parents’ house, since this is not a good time and that is why she recommends that they stay with them at home to stay safe.
On the other hand, this clip received endless comments and opinions, mostly mocking and quite critical, so Haley decided to delete the video where she was vulnerable. However, she later took the opportunity to post a new clip in which she thanked those who sent her messages of support, as well as the people who kindly offered to help her with donations.
I had a little mental breakdown […] Financial stress is the worst burden of all, but I will not accept donations because you need to save your money. It sucks that so many people are going through the same thing. It should not be like that.
@bigseanthedonofficial There was no “home” for me to stay in – I had to go build that. #realitycheck #privilege #movingout #cybermonday #greenscreenvideo #voiceeffects
