I really thought having a terminal degree in a STEM field would equip me to knock this one out. It looks more like I'm gonna have to hustle to make it work. I can afford to keep up with the 15% contributions, but it means that I won't be saving up for a house, family, or any of that other life crap. Keeping up with it right now means I have to scale back my lifestyle a bit. We've already locked-in dates for this Japan trip that's been in the works, but my gf is gonna be stuck with a greater share of the expenses because I just can't afford it anymore. it's a good thing she makes almost 2x what I do. I basically need to bail on my current career placement to find the highest-paying industry position I can get STAT.well duh, this is exactly what you were promised
Multiply by everyone who worked as hard or harder than their parents only to discover that it was no longer enough and Trumpism starts to make sense. Multiply by everyone who wants to have a kid or buy a house or has a medical event and Trumpism starts to make sense. Multiply by everyone who has no other career path and Trumpism starts to make sense.I really thought having a terminal degree in a STEM field would equip me to knock this one out.
