10. I can't afford to move out of the red state where I live.

Not only a red state but an especially red area within the state.

I've always hated it, but now I really, really hate it. I can't help but think that my stress levels would be better if I at least didn't feel like there was literally no escape from any of this...can't go on a walk outside without knowing that most people around me are Trump voters. I just want to feel like I'm around people who understand me I guess. Life here is lonely.
