Even though I'm making the most I've ever made at any job, we're going over what we're bringing in.

It feels awful as a parent not being able to give these experiences to my kids that I had growing up.

And it just feels like I'm not doing great as a parent, but we've got to do what we've got to do.

Even though I'm making the most I've ever made at any job, it's with grocery prices, gas prices, rent and bills and such.

It's just we're going over what we're bringing in every month.

It would be nice to have a home of our own and have our rent money going towards a mortgage, but there's just nothing within the area of where we work that would even be close to what we could afford.
