Why are people consentingly taking a job they can’t afford to live on and expecting handouts? WHY would you take a job you can’t afford?! This makes zero sense to me.

I see this on here a lot. I’m a 28F 5th grade teacher and I live comfortably. I have a nice car, pretty big house, I travel where I want every summer (Europe this summer) and don’t live paycheck to paycheck. I’m not wealthy, but I’m very comfortable. <br><br>Why are so many people taking a job they can’t afford to live on and then complaining about it? Why would you intentionally take a job that doesn’t pay you enough to live?! It makes no sense to me, at all. <br><br>Do doctors take their job knowing they won’t be able to afford to live? Nope. Do lawyers take their job knowing they can’t afford their student loans? Nope. Do pastors take a job knowing they can’t afford their families? Nope. <br><br>Stop taking low paying jobs and expecting sympathy and handouts. I don’t get it.
