Simply out of curiosity, why did you stay in NYC if it’s so expensive? I have friends that live in NYC and say it’s way too expensive and don’t earn enough because they don’t work in a super high paying profession, and I’m always confused why they don’t just leave.

If I was living in a city that had me struggling on credit card debt, I would probably seek work elsewhere. That’s why I’m genuinely curious (not an attack on your choices, I understand there can be external factors like family, visas, etc. that restrict mobility).

"special college prep classes" yeah it was literally a regular public high school. No application needed, no test scores, just a regular public high school. If you spent more time paying attention in school and thinking of your future you would've gotten the same info I got. Instead you're a loser in what, your 30s? Probably working some dead end job or for the government? Here's a tip, go look into some high paying careers you think you might find enjoyable, go back to college and study a related major, and get a job in one of those fields.

lol the high school I went to specifically had a program for getting kids into college. We had a class we took for 4 years prepping us for it, they made us all apply to city & state colleges. Didn't matter, a bunch of people just went because they didn't have anything else to do without a plan. What I call going hungry is having to skip dinner, or simply eating a small dinner, to the point where I was hungry going to bed. I was very skinny growing up because of that, took me. a while to bulk up in college & after.

I'm a hispanic immigrant, don't give me some shit about being a "able-bodied white man". Stop making excuses for yourself. You're a loser because you're not able to plan for the future, not because of some invisible bogeyman of racism/sexism/homophobia. My being non-White has actually only been a benefit to me in my career.

Here's an off the wall thought. I have issues when I don't use a bidet. Paper an my butt are enemies. It leads to discomfort and frequent pooping. I think it might cause internal irritation that drives my anus into producing smaller but more frequent amounts. Normal diet and all, 1 per day is my pace. When we travel and I don't have the toilet fountain and soap cleaning me up, 3 to 4 can become a reality even when I'm watching my diet.
Hope you get it figured out.
