    I was just talking about this. The amount I spend on groceries for a small family is insane. It has doubled in less than five years. My income has not.

      my “vacations” are basically for having an extra day or two off. Maybe I’ll go on a day trip to somewhere in the area. It’s not like I’m going to a retreat on a private island or anything

      Now I go on vacation it’s only thing that keeps me from going fucking crazy. It expensive but goddammit I am going.

      Also only reason stay at this shitty job because of three weeks of vacation I get. If I didn’t get that I would quit.

      Doing that as we speak. My job was shit, so I’m moving back to an old also-shit-but-slightly-less-shit job. I don’t start back at my old job for another week or two, and had originally planned to keep working the currently one until then. But I got fed up with bullshit and stopped going a few nights ago, and am now enjoying a two-week unpaid “vacation”.

    Nothing new. This is the same shit since Bush was around. Keep the millennials and their children held back as much as possible so all the rich kids can steal everything.

    NOTHING NEW.
