It's easy to get more money. It's hard to get more time.
As someone who spent some time homeless this entire comment is bullshit haha
I also spent time homeless. Being broke fucking sucks, and it is hard to get out of. I was very lucky to do so and I know that.
But once you're already employed, switching jobs just isn't that hard.
That's never been my experience, I work in retail so it can be tricky when you're going up against thousands of other applicants and they usually don't require experience.
What do you do for work?
I wait tables.
Interesting, I've definitely gone months applying for jobs and not hearing back for interviews or anything. I suppose location and sheer luck has a bit to do with it as well.
