How pissed can I be, really?

Forgetting that I can't imagine things being markedly different at workin the forseeable future...
Forgetting that Shigette's job search doesn't seem like it's a priority, and the ONE interview she went on seems to have dead-ended...

I'm trying to understand how I had more money in the bank when I was making 25% less than I am now back 6 years ago, and now we have to pick and choose our monthly outgo by bill. How do other people do it, because I haven't gotten my bailout yet.

Should I be happy I have a job even though it's not financially positive?
