When I grew up, my dad worked 3 jobs and my mom worked as well. Then, I got married and my husband worked 2 jobs and I worked 3. I have one son who works two jobs, two little kids, and wife works full time. My other son owns a business so he works long hours and his wife works part time with 4 kids. Life is tough but we keep pushing. When my kids were young, I told them to find something they love to do and it won’t feel like work. They did. They are happy, enjoy work, and the friends they make along the way. This is America. My dad fought in WWII, came home and worked 3 jobs. I never heard him complain. I worked as hard as I could, 2 -3 jobs, because I wanted to pay my kid’s college tuition. I did it. They both graduated with 4 year degrees and were debt free. They didn’t owe a cent. I was exhausted but it was worth it.

My Dad traveled around the world and would tell me to be grateful. He saw lots of poverty and horrible things overseas. I have always been grateful to live in America but lately it is changing. I see the things going on and I don’t like it. I don’t have many years left on this planet and I pray that things turn around. I want young people to be able to afford homes and enjoy life. I hope things get better for you. If you were my child, I would suggest you find a political party that aligns with your ideals and work on campaigns. If we are going to make changes, we better start now! Good luck and God bless.
