My own is very similar to most people out here in everyday America. Have worked pretty much everyday since I was twelve years old. Did graduate school work to stay on that track of being licensed/degreed to make money, own things like a home. The debt from that accrued faster and harder than actual opportunities to get into a well-paying position. I've learned trade, carpentry, to compensate for low-paying hourly jobs. But there are only so many hours in a day! Then when the costs of living went up and a real job in a mainstream grocery store didn't add up to paying the bills, I was squeezed out of living like a contemporary person. I kept at it, working. Waitressing and fast food, then the private sector got overrun with people willing and able to work and hours got cut and well, jeez, then a person can't barely exist at all.
Most of us have experienced challenging in our lives. We beef up on faith and stay on the straight and narrow. Then when a political flip happens we literally just exist while the economic engine turns over. Even in the flipped government sector now (three days) they are posting for jobs that will help the areas of us figure out budgets and pay for services. Just hang in there people. We're doing this.
