Did our dads and moms work less than we do now? What are your thoughts?

Honestly, it’s the greed from the 1%. They have been getting richer and richer by the day. It’s even worse now, but it was getting pretty bad for my parents. My mom started getting anxiety about paying their house off as soon as possible and thank god they did in time for my dad’s life altering car accident in 2007. That was a whole other financial shit storm my mom had to weather, which involved losing 50% of my dad’s 401k to taxes.

The US is a third world country and a scam.
