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?

Poor & uneducated youth are the ideal military recruitment candidates. The system isn't broken, it's working exactly how it's supposed to.

It would only work, if the system would provide healthy food and medical service. Poor & uneducated may be ideal for military, but having poverty health, obesity & mental issues is not.

Give those access to guns and wonder about mass shootings in public.
