Living in CA is expensive 😭

We are literally living by when we get paid. It is awful. I’m so over this. I’m 27 years old, I was told I may need to do IVF, I want to grow my family but we just feel so stuck. Being so limited on funds to where we don’t even have enough to go visit our family or take a small trip. Anyone else on the same boat?

Looking for a job is also exhausting. 😓
