Nothing's ever going to change until you have nothing left and decide fight and make sacrifice.

Well no shit. Basic survival is taking a good 80% of the paycheck. Probably CC and other debt takes the remaining. Maybe a few bucks left for a fancy coffee or red bull. Ain't got no time or money for Healthcare or vacations.
