I don’t know if it’s living in Sydney city, becoming older, or bad career choices - but life has been absolutely miserable.

I have a job I’m really passionate about. And I want to do my postgraduate to move forward with it but I really can’t afford living on part time work alone. I don’t have wealthy family support either.

The job i currently have (basically healthcare) pays ok but I’m struggling with finances. Even as a full time worker. To make things worse, my contract ends in a year, so really, I don’t know if I’m gonna have a job next year. There’s no permanency in my role and is linked to having funding. And all gov funding is being slashed atm.

Few years back when I was working in hospitality and funding myself through uni, it was rough but I was hopeful and motivated as I thought I’m gonna be working my dream job and making decent money. Now I feel so miserable and hopeless. My partner and I are not having kids because we can just afford to feed ourselves. And I cant understand how this is possible. We buy clothes from savers, shop from aldi for cheaper options, have furnished our place from kind people giving things for free or selling for cheap.

It’s fucked up. How did we get to this point

Been single for 7yrs now and I think it’s time to start dating as I’d love to get married and have kids soon.

So about me, work full time in IT in a global senior role.I do work from home 4 days and go into the office in the city once a week. I live in my own place and have a car.

My hobbies include cooking, gym, cleaning, gardening, cat and dog sitting for the neighbours, watching tv shows, playing video games etc

Prior to 2019, I was very social and bubbly but my dogs passed away which took a huge emotional toll on me. Now I’m quite a homebody person although I do love travelling and eating out at new cafes and restaurants. Everyone always says I’m attractive and wonders why I’m single, I get nervous and shy meeting new people.

Very good listener, caring and kind and I can be spontaneous to do different activities like going to the beach or hiking or rock climbing indoors etc.

I’d love to meet someone tall, cute and funny, with a stable job and good manners and hygiene and wants to build something meaningful with me.

DMs are open so say hello 🙂
