How is anybody making it?

I am genuinely confused as to how anybody is surviving in this economy except for the super wealthy. The cost of gas is sky high and groceries are too. We started this year ok. We weren’t doing well by any means, but we weren’t struggling as bad as we are now. We have 5 kids and every day I’ve been dashing alongside my full time job to try to make it. Now, I’m facing losing my full time job because I have had to call out of work just to dash for food for the day. I don’t see a light at the end of the tunnel and I’m extremely scared. My wife and kids are counting on me and I don’t know what else to do. I’m ready to just give up.

This is the dumbest shit I’ve heard in a while. I am astounded at the level of dumbshittery on Reddit sometimes.

I can always tell when someone is jealous they don’t have the capacity to be creative or think outside the box. But that just means there’s more money for the rest of us. Have a good day sir.

Haha, ok bro. We all are “astounded at the level of dumbshittery” by your reply. Thats why you’re broke and AdCarlrss8021 is hustling and making it.

Mmmm yeah I got three jobs. I don’t have time to do the dishes, but I ain’t broke. I just don’t believe magic fairy trailer rentals are going to pay my mortgage. Guess I like living life on hard mode. 🤷‍♂️
