Hey fellow young people! The cost of living sure sure does suck, don’t it? I mean, you’re an artist/musician/writer/whatever who moved to Portland to take advantage of the cultural opportunities here. Only you can’t make a living off of your labor of love so you have to take not one, not two, but THREE craptastic minimum wage jobs just to survive. Oh, and don’t forget – you need to find time for the classes you’re taking at MECA/SMCC/USM/UNE. And who knows, maybe you’re a single parent as well. That’s more than enough stress to deal with. Too bad your landlord is raising your rent. Double too bad one of your bosses (for the job at the mall) want’s you to come into work on Sunday. Triple too bad that you rely on the bus to get there and that the buses don’t run on Sundays.
