The stressful office grind and the changes

We all know that typical office work is extremely stressful.
Even if you are living near a big city, the regular '9 to 5vers' that so many people are used to depending on, are not only harder to find, they are not paying nearly enough to even afford a one bedroom apartment.
In our town, the apartment rent ranges around $700 to $1000 per month! That doesn't even include electricity, cable/wifi, and sometimes you even pay for water!
From my recent experience out there job hunting, most jobs pay $8 to $12 an hour. You really have to look hard to find something fulltime and reliable. It's really challenging. Food that is affordable is becoming harder and harder to come by. We go shopping and if we were to buy name brand items, you can forget about going home with more than 4 bags filled for less than $200.
The important thing to remember is that no matter how hard it gets, there is always hope. Hope that brings forth creativity, leading to new inventions and new ideas. Ideas just like Steemit and the community it's creating.
New Ideas are changing the old ways of doing things that haven't worked for many years now.
The 9 to 5 mentality has to adapt or it will fade away. There is no other way around it. We have to keep pushing our Society forward as a collective. New social media platforms like Steemit have started the New wave of change. We are all the change that is needed. Be the change you wish to see!!
Keep in touch and keep plugged in.
