It’s becoming increasingly hard for myself and my family to survive in this economy. Myself and my family are teetering in the edge. I hope there’s some relief soon. I lost my job back in 2021 and went I to business for myself. 5 years ago under Trump’s economy I think I could survive and grow without a problem. Now… a trip to the grocery store costs $500 and running up cards left and right because our two incomes combined still isn’t enough. That doesn’t even touch on all the other things like our healthcare going up etc. 3 kids… I am praying people will make their moves soon to take this thing back and get it under control. I don’t know how much time I have left. I wish there was a relief opportunity for those of us who know and trust the plan to get by until it’s fixed. LoL
It’s becoming next to impossible for myself and my family to survive.

Oh, well yeah. You made damn good money for years and are able to make do now. Has OP seen this yet? He'll be relieved!
He should. He probably makes more than me at the moment and I had to shrink what was probably a much bigger budget.
But being mad at me won't help. I didn't put anyone in this position, nor do I want them to be there.
Well, small correction. I didn't do anything directly. I had unnecessary debt that made institutions that hate us, money. I grumbled quietly in DEI indoctrination sessions, instead of speaking out, to protect my lifestyle. I did all the big things "right" but I needed to learn to be ok with being uncomfortable, so that I could do all the little things correctly. And the uncomfortable state is only temporary and worth the price of getting our freedom back, and more importantly... KEEPING IT!
When we tell ourselves these things it can be relieving and signal growth. When other people are telling you to get better at suffering, it's often a red flag.
Sorry you are taking it that way, even though you appear to be getting offended on OP's behalf.
Nonetheless, getting mad at me or the white hats will not improve anyone's situation. White hats are trying to put the power back into our hands. We have to be willing to take it and accepting the responsibility of taking it.
I have personally cut out drinking (alcohol), video games, cable TV, sports, eating lunch and sometimes dinner and trimmed down unnecessary spending over the past 3-4 years. Hell, I even stopped using disposable razors and have been using my grandfathers old straight razor. I had no idea how much I was spending on razor cartridges until I stopped buying them. I fully expected to lose my job over the vax mandate. It was threatened for so long, that I thought it was a foregone conclusion, so I tightened up on all the red in my ledger and focused on stocking up the black. I was fortunate to not lose my job when the vax deadline came and then went, but I fully expected it. Since then, I have continued to save up and am still watchful on spending. The funny thing is that I have never been this happy in my entire life as I am now. Even now, I don't have faith that I will keep my job, but even if I lost it, I wouldn't be worried. The world we thought we lived in is dead. Trying to keep the illusion up is what is hurting people.
