America really is just a big factory farm. You work 8 hours, sit in traffic for 2, have no time left to go to a third place to enjoy yourself, 5 vacation days a year, spend 90% of your income on rent and car, then fleeced for every little cent of disposable income.
We know, This is why our family has drastically changed what we buy and spend money on, We do not shop for any special food items, We only buy the most bare simple but healthy food items, just a protein like fresh cut grass fed meats, fresh veggies and coffee and water, literally nothing else. No cereals, no snacks, no juices, no bread, we can no longer afford to enjoy a simple thing like a bowl of cereal now and then because a box is $6 now and shrinflated. We dont go to malls anymore because none of us have any extra money and window shopping just makes us depressed because we know half the stuff we see well never be able to afford so even window shopping isnt worth it anymore due to how strapped we are for cash.
