When I was a kid, my mom spent $200 at the grocery store to feed our 7 person family for the week. 25 years later, I am spending more than that just to buy food for myself. I honestly don’t know how most people make it. I’m lucky and have a good career. Can’t imagine what it would be like without it.

It's disheartening to see how expensive things have become, with the high cost of living making it difficult for some people to afford basic necessities. I struggle to understand how some individuals manage to cope. Having a successful career and earning a comfortable income can provide a sense of security and freedom to enjoy life without financial worries.
