    As a family we make 10 to $11,000 a month.

    We can hardly put anything away. Between cars and daycare and rent and groceries and gas prices, there’s nothing left.

    These corporations are unwilling to sacrifice anything for the people that consume them.

    And when these ass hats say crap like corporations or people too. It just pisses me off even more.

        Guessing live in a high cost of living area in the US. I live in MA and have a high tech worker salary and don’t have daycare of a car payment and I’m still just above water. I have literally no idea what my neighbors with multiple young children are doing.

        I live in the Atlanta metro area, two kids two car payments rent and credit card debt which is kinda my fault but at the same time it helps keep us afloat. Also day care is 1000+ a month.

        Grocery’s and gas alone tripled.
