I was just curious for those in the ages of late 20s to 40s even 50s how have you managed to continue living in a non blue collar city like Miami for decades with no careers no luck of a good job or college degree?
More so with a family to tend to?
Being the basic entry level jobs and pay is sad.
How have you been able to keep up with how expensive Miami continues to become?

Hard to invest in yourself or save anything in a city that has high rent and food and no real public transportation
Options are small esp when so many dish so much money out for car ins and car notes
Truly how have you all gotten by in the last 2 or 3 decades being in your 30s 40s and 50s working regular jobs with no growth in site? And so you continue to work being reatment seems to not be. An option?

It is very common for people to live multi generational.

I know all of my wait staff have multiple roommates.
