Kids I think most people are not prepared even if they love their kids. The majority of parents suffer and so do the kids. I guess being in education I see first hand lots of parents who should not have had kids. .Knosis1723 reply
I had a "good job" in the US before I came here. Work was regular hours +1 Saturday out of every 3, and I was on call 24/7 for consultation. I had 1 week vacation plus Christmas and Thanksgiving each year. No insurance, and I barely made my bills each month. Still my friends were often jealous of my office job. I left the US in 2006. Now, I have great health coverage for about $100 per month for a family of 3, and it isn't tied to my employer so if an employer is s**t, I can just quit and move on. It includes dental and eye care, and a yearly free check up. When I am sick, cost at the Dr and pharmacy are less than $5 each. I now have 15 days vacation plus about 10 holidays each year. I work Monday through Friday and when I'm off the clock, I'm off the clock. In my first year here, I paid off 10k of student loan debt, and had a bit of savings. By 2010, I had 50k saved. The US is like an underdeveloped nightmare dystopia compared to the rest of the world. But the constant media propaganda proclaiming it is the best, most advanced country in the world, and paints every one else as backward thinking oddities keeps the population grinding away at the deadend, under compensated jobs.

I'm very very happy to get home after work and stay in bed for the rest of the day, most days of the week. Isabella • upvoted an item 4 days ago
