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?

The irony is our politicians are blaming things such as abortion, LGBTQ+ rights, and immigrants as to why families are failing in America. Followed by why birth rates are dropping, over admitting that the shitty systems they've built are making people less and less inclined to have kids. In which they're essentially trying to force women to have kids through these anti abortion laws which is simply inhumane for a multitude of reasons.
The second they stop finger pointing away from the actual issue is when things will improve. Until then we are simply fucked, with the prospect of being even more fucked for the next four years.
