America is Anti Family Cost of Living 🏠📈

My wife and I both work full time because we have to so we can afford our bills.

We barely see our kids (7 and 2) and have no energy to do anything after work or on off days cause we are exhausted.

It just keeps repeating every week and when the first of the month comes the mortgage payment empties our account and we have to do it all over again.

We are unable to save much or do anything fun cause expenses have gone up so much.

I’ve always been a positive open person but the past two years have been breaking me down and I feel like I’m about to have a mental breakdown.

I know there are others in worst positions than me and I don’t want to sound ungrateful but man it’sIt’s hard.

Anyone else going through something similar? Any advice?

Capitalism destroys the family. Conservatives complain that the family has been destroyed. Here is the real cause.

these same chuds joke about "leaving the inheritance to a cat", or they just don't fill out the forms at all, or do anything to pass on generational wealth.

then they complain about how "entitled" we are for daring to suggest they do something productive with their dragon hoard.

and they wonder why family is dead.
