get out of poverty

Life is better when you can pay your bills and still afford a few nice luxuries.

Our business is really starting to take off. It’s looking like we’re going to reach some state of “normal” in the next few months. If we can climb up to lower-middle class, that’s good enough for me. Then I’ll get myself back into school and we can inch our way up the socio-economic ladder.

My husband lost a really good job a few years ago, and we’ve been struggling from one crappy job to another since then. Even with both of us working, we still qualified for food stamps. :/ We moved a few months ago to get out from under a mortgage that was 75% of our monthly income. The new place is cheaper, but the move has meant finding new jobs. Yeah. That’s not going so well.

I am just tired of being poor. It’s humiliating.
