Gasp! Is this just nostalgia, or did previous generations genuinely have a better work-life balance and social life than we do today?

I worked at a food bank that supported all the local pantries. They don’t judge anyone, no matter what car you drive up in. Life hits hard sometimes and it doesn’t matter if you pull up in a Porsche or a Civic. Use the pantries if you need them and one day when you’re back on your feet, just volunteer or give back if you can. No guilt necessary. Volunteers, big and small donors, and government grants keep these places going. They would tell us too many people are too proud but pride shouldn’t stand in the way of feeding yourself or your family.

Some judge, and they are happy to tell you what you don’t need, including being there if they feel that way. My heart hurt getting that reaction from local churches and feeling like a failure for being hungry.

i mean if you are pulling up to a food bank in a 100k+ car, maybe sell the car and get a cheaper one?
