"I work 60 hours most weeks.

And somehow, I still feel like I’m struggling to get by.

At some point you have to ask yourself:

What’s the point of working this hard if you never get to enjoy your life?

Something needs to change."

      I’m sitting here, crossing my fingers that my father dies quick and soon. If he lives too long, he’ll need to sell his house to fund his elder care, and then I’ll never own a home.

      Sorry man, you guys really have it worst (of the so called civilized world). Why not piss off? You already speak a global language and everyone pities muricans anyway, so no hate. Canada? Some place in the EU? i know a handful who moved here and now don’t understand why it took so long. You might be still poor here, but at least your shit is cared for, even if not 100% optimal.

        It’s a nice thought, the wife would go but not without the daughter and she Isn’t. I’m too old to want to get rid of everything and start again and too poor to move anything with me. Nope - I’m in it for the whole ride.

          Understandably. Us old farts are a lil harder to move :) Though this “health”-system alone would drive me batshit-crazy there…i hope life will treat you guys mildly!
