“I’m not rich but we survived on one income while my wife stayed home with our kids.”
That was back when? Kids these days just can’t in this current economy. Both parents are forced to work if they want to survive financially, especially if they have kids. Again, we can’t compare then to what challenges they have now.
All my kids are in the medical industry and make good money. But even with all of them working they are still living paycheck to paycheck just to barely survive financially and support their own kids.
Not sure you have a grasp of what it really is like out there now. Far too many live in the past and judge situations by the past. The way things were is not how they are now.
I’m living it now. One’s a senior in high school, the other is a freshman at University. We’ve had to make deep sacrifices as to our standard of living obviously. The senior is being solicited by Ivy League schools. I’m not just bragging but sincerely pointing out that there are options and that society and our perceived place in it do not dictate our choices.
