My New Normal

:

Since I moved and took a desk job 9-5 as a RN they feel we do not warrent the same pay as hospital RN's So I lost $7 an hour to start with a 2-3% raise per annum my raises have not kept up with the cost of living, so I am making less and paying more for everything from re4nt to utilities and food, gas, clothes. Now I won't buy a new car or even a used one cause I can't afford the payment and increase in insurance rates, I am not eating as well cause I can't afford it. I don't travel very far in my car cause I can't afford the gas. I haven't put the heat on until latejust the other day cause I can't afford a high electric bill. Forget putting money in savings. I am living pay check to pay check. If something were to happen to me I would have to move in with one of my adult children. Its sad that you work all your like to end up like this.
