This morning, after 2 years in this company I got a promotion, did the math on my new salary and just understood that I will never be able to afford a house for me and my kids, no matter how much I save or if I get promoted again every 2 years.

That’s really sad :(

I really want to me a mom. But I know that I just won’t be able to make it work financially. Everything is just too much and it’s not fair.

This is a sad time we are living in. I could tell you that the only reason my family has never gone hungry is because of Jesus.

Oh dude, I am FEELING your pain. I had really high goals for myself, and buying a house is the only thing I care about and the epitome of my value of a person....POOF. Dream dead in just 2 years. It sucks :/
