Hey everyone, I’m Jamie, a 32-year-old social worker in Ohio making $48k a year. I love my job because I genuinely want to help people, but lately, I’m feeling totally burned out. My coworkers in finance and tech keep talking about their six-figure salaries and early retirement plans, and honestly, it makes me feel invisible. I’m trying to reach FIRE, but with my income, it feels impossible. I’ve paid off my credit cards and started a side hustle tutoring kids online, but progress is slow. Sometimes I wonder if I made a mistake choosing passion over pay. Has anyone else been in my shoes? How do you stay motivated when it feels like you’re so far behind? I’d love to hear your stories or any advice you have. Let’s help each other out! 🙏💬 #JobCareer #Career #FIREJourney
