      Thank you so much. What makes it worse is that I have a full time job and still struggle to make it to the next paycheck. Things will get better for sure. I’m working hard and hoping for a promotion to make a little more. Could be worse. There are people who have it way worse than me. I was just saying that $500 a month would go a long ways for me and my kids.

      Shit I make a pretty decent wage for my part of the country, and that would still be like 10% more money every month. Maybe not life changing for me, but it would damn sure help. And there are MANY people making less than me that would be impacted heavily by something like this.

        Shit got really expensive lately. You literally need to make at least $75k a year or more to live somewhat comfortable. Went to costco the other and bought a couple of things, it was a solid $100. Even walmart and aldi have become pricey.
