One thing after another

I have been broke most of my life. It doesn't seem to matter how hard I work. I have worked 2-3 jobs at a time while my kids were young to support them. Their father was a gambler and lousy provider as well as being abusive. After ending that marriage (which almost ended my life) I faced rebuilding my financial and work life....took about 3-4 years but stuck with it. Then remarried a working man and then he had a stroke and has gotten better, but needs a lot of attention and care and I again had to move for about the 10th time in the last decade. I am now way in debt and we wouldn't even have a house if it wasn't that the economy of the country crapped out and the housing prices in the city where I live dropped off to next to nothing, so I guess I should be glad for that anyhow. So now instead of trying to find winter coats for my kids, I'm trying to find coats for my grandchildren....all these years (a whole crappy lifetime) and all this work and nothing has changed.

I totally get this and sincerely can relate, my big concern at this stage of my life which is so sadening is: what kind of futureb do my children and grandkids have? Our politicians have screwed this country into such a hole that even if they get loans for college they will inherit such massive debt with no guarantee. Of a job...so the american dream....we have none and to look your kids in the face and have to lie that "you can be and do anything" you want is so disheartening. Can't even tell them to save every nickel, dime, dollar they make because our value of our money is decreasing daily as we speak, we won't even have money....poor will get poorer, and the rich, richer because they have the means to do as they please ad even leave this country if they desire. Even as I speak there is no middle class because they've become the working class poor. SAD, SAD,and with no jobs to be had even whenyour educated is a very sad sign of our future. I don't hope our politicians have a nice christmas, maybe they should spend it with me to see what life today is really about , to make changes that do do some good for thhe people and not for their pocket books. So they can take their christmas and shove it as far as I'm concerned. I find it all depressing.

Wow your story struck a nerve with me. I'm 27 years old and just got laid off. I have a college degree with a major in Political Science, have a long working history with several different jobs and guess what? The economy still sucks for people like me. What kind of future will me and my brother have in an economy where the dollar isn't worth much anymore? There are very little amounts of GOOD jobs out here, only low paying, borderline minimum wage jobs. And even those are hard to find haha! America is in deep hell now, deep deep hell. I don't even know what else to say. I lost my job a few weeks before Christmas. How great is that? Worse, I'm having a tough time finding good work. One thing does put a smile to my face.....at least I don't have any kids! Good night!
