How to live when your not sure about living

Life is strange life can be scary life can be short and most importantly people put a price on your life. When you thinka bout your life and your job and what you get paid think about what your time is worth. Your life should mean more to you than 10$/an hour (what minimum wage is where I live) I work 40 hours a week and make maybe 300$ after taxes. 90$ goes to rent 40$ goes to my gas tank a week. Im down to 180$ almost to pay my credit cards and for food. I know its not a huge deal to be short on cash but if you think about your life being worth 10$ an hour and working 40 hours a week and still not being able to live comfortably and feel secure about money and pay all the bills in your life then take a bit and think about what your worth. Im not going to say "fight for 15$ minimum wage" but there are people in this world who work really hard and go home with nothing but the clothes on their backs. Money isnt everything but in this world we live in money is what makes us able to live. And thats the cruel truth about our world we have gone to making our lives have a price tag and we all sell ourselfs short because thats all we can get. Life is not forever and neither is having what ever money you make. Dont spend your life grinding for money because before you know it your not going to have the time to spend it or the people to spend it with. Cause you will regret it when you cant live with those you care about.
