Sweet, W2s are out

After paying taxes, funding my 401k, and paying what I owe, I'll walk away with 33k net for 2015. If I had lived in the standard 1 bedroom cost in my area of 1.5-2 ish (let's go low and say 1.5) I'd lose 18 right off the top = 15 left. Factoring in student loans, insurance, gas, food, going to the movies once a year so my life isn't 100% meaningless, I'd have a cool 8k to either put towards excess student loans, or save for a home - good thing the entry level in my area is only 550!

Like, seriously, what's the point of it all? My life would be exactly the same making $14 an hour sweeping the streets - going nowhere, and sharing a house with 3 other dudes until the owner takes it back and kicks us all out
