I'm broke asf

I don’t want to sound negative, and I know I just graduated in April. I’m 24, working full-time, and I’ve got a long life ahead, but honestly, I’m broke right now.

It feels like no matter how much I work, the bills just keep piling up, I've just started paying off my student loans, and next year, because of 住民税 (resident tax), my salary is going to take an even bigger hit.

I’m trying to stay positive and hope things get better, especially since my student life was way worse, and it was during COVID on top of that. But right now, I really can’t see a way out of this financial mess.

I just needed to vent. I know people with more experience might think I’m overreacting, but if anyone has been through this and has advice, I’d love to hear it.

Thanks, guys.
