(sorry for the story)

All good; I'm usually on your side of this interaction.

But for some reason I feel just as poor as I always felt and it feels like nothing changed and it's not going as far as I thought it would.

I mean I made 15k a year doing fast food before I went back to school, and even that was hugely important for me to get my mental health in order. I can't go back now though; too much has changed, and I need to focus on grad school.

I feel bad complaining when it's a privilege and many people make worse.

Don't. It sucks that we have to work at all. You always have a right to vent and be an emotional human no matter how safe your situation actually is relative to others.
