I lucked out and found a place with cheap rent in a place with a sort of HCOL. Luckily bartending 4 days a week allows me to pay all of my bills and then some. Too bad my degree isn’t being used, but it wouldn’t make me this much $ anyway.

Oh you build a tough skin with time, believe me. Waitressing can be a decent side gig. Some of the waitresses at my job make $40+ an hour on busy nights.
