A young woman complained about her financial struggles and the mounting bills that she hardly gets to enjoy her salary. She posted on Twitter that she was left with nothing a day after paying her expenses.

"Got paid on Monday. Paid my bills, bought groceries, and paid laybuys & outstanding debts. Broke again within a day. Amazing! Adulting is just amazing!"

@TumiNkosi mentioned:

"I’ve decided that I won’t call myself broke if I manage to cover all my bills. How sad is that?"

@AndileIsKing said:

"Instead of looking at your bank balance, look at everything the money did, and you will see your money in all its glory."

@Budiriro2319 posted:

"Reduce laybuys and other debts, and adulting will be enjoyable. Cancel all clothing cards and any grocery cards you might have and concentrate on important debt like working towards a housing bond."

"You are responsible and doing great for yourself. Have patience with yourself, you will soon thank yourself knowing that those debts are finally over one by one!"

@rams_lavita suggested:

"It has nothing to do with adulting, employment is another form of slavery. Please try to get a side hustle that will bring enough money to sustain yourself."
