    Can we fucking not?

    I’m so goddamn sick of society REQUIRING 2 incomes… Even your flippant disregard for single people. I’m not a desirable person for one reason or another, I’m perpetually single and I’m fucking sick of having to bounce from basement apartment to garage apartment, paying someone else’s mortgage, because I can’t afford homes on a single income…

    How about we readjust how we define economic health based on one income. Why should 2 people be required for 1 “normal” life?

      I’m OK with that too, but you know all the sayings. How do you eat an elephant? How do you start a 1,000 km journey? And so on. We are so far from a healthy work/life balance at the moment that I have trouble imagining what one would look at. I apologize profusely for not taking my dreams that much further. Sorry to offend. I guess after being a single parent for a couple of decades and barely scratching by the entire time while making significantly more than minimum wage has beaten down my idealism a bit.
