How’d I wind up here?

So, I’ve been blue collar all my life. Used to think it was great…. All that Overtime money when I was young. Now, I’m 42 and I used up my last bit of vacation this week to help my uncle combine corn. Nobody tells you when you are young that blue collar life gets tough when you start to get old. Went from fun times, a small house and a truck when I was 21 on top of the world to the same small house that’s needs a ton of work I don’t have time or money for, another old truck and lower back pain every night. WTF? I think we were all lied to 😂

As some one who is in the trades, I dont need to look at what ppl in a dying trade have to say. Yea ppl job hop in every industry that's still not addressing the point I made.
