This is such a good answer and I hate that it's true.

I also am a one income household and also am no stranger to having to choose "rent or groceries" on a regular basis. I hate that you can't get food assistance unless you make minimum wage, but where I live they release analysis every year that a single adult needs to make at least 3x minimum wage just to be able to afford to exist with a one bedroom apartment at market rates and that's without having extra money for savings, hobbies, or going out.

I have fucked up so many things in my life but I will always be eternally grateful that I never fucked up and got pregnant.
