The middle class is the most expensive place to live, and no one talks about it.
Lower income households get assistance.
The wealthy use tax strategies and loopholes.
But the middle class pays full taxes, full tuition, full healthcare, full everything.
So you work 50 hours a week just to stay in the same place and fund everyone's life except yours.
I used to do that for years... Realised it's sooo not worth it. And that's coming from a manager of 12 years now.
You may think you're important even when you're doing your job well, but they will replace you in a heartbeat and not look back if you leave...
Fuck em. Work at work, enjoy your time off.
Balance it for your own wellbeing.
