Loving chairs more every day!

i make about 80k living in CA, and tbqh making more than i ever expected to make in my career. my husband makes about 30-40k working retail (he's been working for the same company for 10+ years).

we do ok. i still have about 30k in student loans and i pay about 1k/mo on it. our rent is like 2.2k/mo. we can't afford a house and probably never will, and houses here start at 500k with a hugely competitive market. plus we're just two people, why the gently caress would we need a whole house???

more critically (to me), i'm trans and terrified to live anywhere else, and i've had an easy experience here with coming out/living as an openly trans person. no issues with my workplace, no one has really been rude to me about it, and i don't want to lose that. i wish all trans people could have this, and god i am scared of losing it. i don't know if i'm strong enough to deal with the alternative.
