I’ve been a continuously employed LEO for 18 years.
My wife has been continuously employed as an ICU Nurse for 23 years.
We’ve received 2-3% raises the last two years but have faced 30% inflation over that same period of time.
We make a nice living, through years of toil and sacrifice. We talk to co-workers and they’re embarrassed to admit they’re now struggling.
How are folks who have a husband who’s an assistant manager at the Rite Aid and a wife who drives a school bus part time and have three children supposed to survive?
I guess President Double Scoop would suggest they put one of their 3 mansions up on AirbNb?
but now that we are retired, I feel very very poor....stock market crash and that's it for us...
we live simply...but its not enough....
and the reason?....taxes...huge taxes on our 5acre property with a decent home...
we are slaves...
