Grew up poor in coal country. Had a few fuck ups in my day like most people where I’m from. Finally got an engineering degree. Making ok money but just not able to get ahead. Accepted I’ll never be able to buy a house. Have a stay at home wife and kids. We’re happy. But basically living paycheck to paycheck. 100k ain’t shit in 2024 for a family even though it’s supposedly more than the median household for my area. Whose boot is keeping me down?
