in the same boat
Matthew: I go to a business college after my regular work day, and I have a lot of practice assignments to complete at night. It makes me very tired at the end of the week.
Christine: Really? I take university classes after work too. I also study on the weekends.
Matthew: I guess we're in the same boat. Let's study together on Saturday.
Explanation: When we say that people are in the same boat, it means that they are in a similar situation, or dealing with a similar problem.
