(28,751 posts)88. $14,130 more. Hello beans and rice and more overtime. Sorry mom, we'll have to cut back on
things like expensive medications, compression stockings, medical devices, new clothes and shoes, and I'm sorry we won't be able to afford you any trips to be among your beloved mountains.
No thank you Bernie. I have a nice house but it's not extravagant by any means. I'm not rich. I work my fucking ass off to the tune of about 16-22 hours of overtime every 2 week pay period. We take care of my mom. Our vacations are spent here in our own county or very close by. What else does he want me to do? I guess I'm now one of his "fat cats." Sure, many days I don't have time for little luxuries like hygiene, lunch, or timely voiding - but HEY! it's a REVOLUTION right? Somebody's got to pay for it.
