    The leech is the company you are working for. Companies are getting away with paying you so little because you are removing every little expense that is still left in your life. Fighting for better pay is very much practical.

      A single person doesn’t have much power in that fight. Not the same way they have over part of their own spending. I know I’m starting to sound like a broken record, but two very different things.

        I agree they are different things, I just wanted to object to this being an abstract problem. It’s a very practical one with very practical solutions. They do take time to implement though because it takes organised action.

          I originally thought you were talking about the wider societal problem, which compared to personal spending can get pretty abstract.
