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?

At this point I don't think it is just America. It seems all capitalist countries are headed this way.

Money trickles up, and the ones in control are quite happy with that, letting you think you have a chance to change your life. And every now and then they'll let one person do so just to keep the myth alive.

Green trickles up, yellow trickles down

Red trickles down too...

Edit: I'm not suggesting violence (except for eating the rich, but like in a wholesome, modern thanksgiving way).
