I'm trying to buy a house, but the market is insane

I've got a better chance of winning the lottery than getting a mortgage with a payment that's less than my student loans

My parents always told me to follow my dreams.

Now my dreams are just about affording groceries that aren't on sale.

I told my therapist I've been struggling to practice self-compassion

So she charged me extra for being mean to myself during the session

My biggest fear isn't dying.

It's having to pay for the funeral.
