Real question: You yourself call it “the edge,” so does it feel sustainable enough that you’d start a family and pass your way of life on to your kids? Is it stable enough that it can handle unplanned expenses? Just my opinion here, but if your lifestyle can’t accomodate creating the next generation is it actually better?
I’m talking from a position of privilege, with a 9-5 that I enjoy and pays well, which maybe also isn’t realistic for the next generation, of course.

May I ask what you do for a living?

What does that even mean?
Means he’s unemployed. “Living at the edge of his benefits check”

9-5 isn’t really a thing anymore.
It’s more likely to be 8-5 or 9-6. You get an hour for lunch, but you’ll be so busy you usually skip it and work that extra hour for free.
