Same with me. I've only been able to work part time for 11 years and my life gets easier.
I have friends stuck on the hamster wheel making more and more, but can't get ahead. It kind of bums me out sometimes.
Some of my coworkers make 3 or 4X as much as me and I'm starting to see the envy on their face. Rising prices are pissing people off, but not enough to try a new syatem.
