I hear ya, but I'll take it if somebody offers it.
But yeah, as long as you make enough to keep a roof over your head and not stress over the bills, there's nothing wrong with having a tight entertainment budget. I worked a shit computer repair job for two years and managed to squirrel enough away that I still buy comics every week (albeit a fraction of the number I used to). I've gotten my unemployment to stretch so that I can pay my share of rent, bills, groceries, food, gas, and health insurance, though if I were living alone I'd be struggling.
And the job certainly wasn't all bad. I worked with good people, it was 8-5, and the stress and pay were appropriate for the work. That's what's important to me: not whether I'm being paid well, but whether I'm being paid fairly. Back in '07, when I was running the backend of an ISP singlehandedly for, oh, slightly more than I'm making right now babysitting filecopies for 8 hours a day, I finally got fed up and demanded that they bring the pay and the work in line. It was either-or; I told them I'd be happy to keep my current salary if they'd take my cell phone back and let me work Monday through Friday and 8 to 5. They told me that wasn't going to happen; I told them they had two weeks to learn Linux.
Anyway, all that to say, while my warehouse job sucked, and gave me a lung fungus and asthma, I was probably going to get those anyway sooner or later and it had its charm. The biggest stress, really, was being a temp for 2 years and knowing the hammer could drop at any time -- which, on the plus side, meant I was prepared when it did.
(The hammer is my penis.)
