I work 43 hours a week Monday to Friday, I finish at 6pm over half the week. My partner works 35 hours a week including Saturdays and starts at 6am every morning. We have one full day together a week with our son. Dont get me wrong our son does not miss out on time with us like it may seem, we both get quality time with him throughout the week at different points too but I just feel like if this all life is going to be, what is the point. We barely scrape through the month, money wise. Actually we are technically in debt. Like I just don't even know anymore. We work so bloody hard and struggle so much and there's thousands of people out their getting given nice new houses, reduced rent and bills, help with costs of living because they can't be arsed to get a job and its easier to let someone give them the money to live.
I just want some luck, I want to get rid of my small debts, I want to be able to afford to save up for a mortgage, I want to be able to live and not worry about money constantly. Or worry that I will have to work crazy hours, and miss out on special time with my family, just to survive and live.
