*A TikTok user has gone viral for her stance on getting a second job to survive.
The creator named Shay, with the handle @shayjo21, posted a now-viral video in which she breaks down why she’s not taking on a second job as U.S. inflation creeps higher, Moneywise reports.
In the clip, she lists items impacted by price increases: “Grapes: $7, eggs: $5, homes: half a million dollars, cars: 40 grand (used — and it could be a Mazda, they don’t care).”
Shay goes on to declare … “I don’t give a damn how expensive it gets, I’m not working a second job.” Shay says she’s “good until about 5:30” but then her “legs start buckling” and by 6 p.m., her “vision [is] blurry, can’t find my car.”
“I can’t work two jobs,” she said. “So, whoever needs to fix it, please fix it. Because it’s to the point now where working 40 hours a week ain’t enough — but I’m going to make it enough.”

Many TikTok users agreed with Shay, with one commenting: “Clocking out then having to clock in somewhere else 30 minutes later is CRAZY,” while another quipped: “We shouldn’t have to work 2-3 jobs to be able to afford life for ONE person!!”
“I make 80 K a year and I decided to live with my 90 old grandma and I don’t care. I just sold my house,” another TikTok user wrote.
“My vision is blurry at 9:am baby!!! ???????? At clock in,” commented another user, while someone else added, “Somebody just said, get a 2nd or 3rd job. I was like what?!”
Shay captioned the video: “$100,000 a year is the new $50,000 a year #fixitjesus.”
