What did you have for dinner last night? I bet it wasn't hot dogs, because that is what we had, the only thing we could afford right now. Or was your belly full from the meal your personal chef created or the dinner you had at a restaurant?Do you ever look into your fridge and wonder if you will be able to feed your girls? Do you ever wonder if your paycheck will cover what you need in a month? Or if you will soon have to move because you can afford the rent?
I am happy that we have enough to have roof over us & food right now, because it could be so much worse. But we are definitely headed that way. Each month our ability to stretch our paycheck is incredibly harder. Even Elastigilr had her limits. We pay more rent because our landlord has expenses too. We pay more utilities because the taxes and fee hikes are passed. We pay more for gas for our cars because oil companies & our own government are greedy. We pay more for less food because company still want to make a profit, so why not gouge the consumers.
I wish I could run my finances like our banking system or even the federal government, then I would always have money. I could pay my bills by taking money from others and putting it into a corrupt account. And if I made mistakes with my money, I would be guaranteed a bailout without repercussions, like losing my home or job.
But I guess that world isn't the USA.
