It's different with jobs that don't offer a living income, the cost of living has risen so much for so many that low wage jobs are basically pointless for anyone other than bored retirees and community college kids. People can easily make more money hustling on their own, barely enough to survive but still better than working jobs like diners, retail, grocery stores, etc. Middle clase jobs are about to dip though.

i'm hard saving as much as i pay in rent a month, and that still totals only about half my income.
