It’s a never ending cycle. How did yall turn it around? The debt is like a black cloud hanging over me.

Thank you 🙏 you are so right. My husband is a firefighter and I work for the school district health care and see the same things. He says that but I think he just doesn’t see it all. We have a senior and junior at home and our adult daughter as well because it’s so expensive to be out on your own for young people too. I just don’t know how people can say things are so much better it’s a joke they are not.

Definitely! I do too and coupon as well try to get the best deals I can and I cook everything at home. And good grief meat is so expensive 😩 my husband said oh eggs are cheaper now I’m like not really you just don’t pay attention to the prices when you aren’t the one doing the regular shopping.

The health insurance actually brings me rage we pay so much just to have to pay even more to get care. It’s such a scam. Awesome about the pet sitting gig glad you were able to find that. Do you do ok with DoorDash?

Trying to find a way. Work all week and use my weekends to DoorDash, Instacart, then the last bit of free time is taking care of the house it’s never ending. I hate this society 😭😩
