Let's say the Q/Trump/White Hat plan comes to fruition, and that they will show us a beautiful new world and golden era for America after the swamp is drained, what do you think that future will look like for Americans?
Many of my loved ones are drowning in debt, whether it be student loans, CC debt due to emergencies, rent/mortgage and inflation, or medical bills.
My aunt and uncle in particular are very close to becoming homeless and they have a son who's in middle school still.
What will America look like in 10+ years for people like us, who used to be considered middle class but are doing very badly? Is there hope for life to improve? Is there hope of affordimg a home in the future, is my family destined to be debt slaves for the rest of their lives?
I'm grinding away to pay off my parents debt so that my mom can retire. I want her final years to be comfortable and not slaving away at work just to be able to make ends meet and afford to live. But whatever financial progress I make, I face a setback, like the IRS suddenly charging us $5k earlier in the year. I don't think I can take anymore.
Don't ever apologize for venting, sometimes venting is all we can do and it helps for others to listen. I'm so sorry for what you're going through, it sounds worse than my situation. I wish there was something I could do to help. It sucks to stand by and watch people suffer like that and feel powerless to change their situation. I've often fantasized in the last year about winning the lottery and helping every single person I know who's suffering financially, there's lots of friends and relatives I know who aren't doing great either. It's a nice fantasy but a cruel one. It's cruel to wake up and realize nope, everyone's doing poorly, and I'm powerless to help. And no one else is around to help. Some days it makes me not want to wake up at all. You're a lot stronger than me because I would have given up by that point.
