Everyone loves the ethic but this is America. I need to get paid.
I make 2x what my father did and he had a stay at home wife and 4 kids.
Same here. 4 kids and a stay at home mom. My dad eventually opened his own business but when I was a little kid he delivered potato chips for Wise.
And was able to afford a house in the sticks, Massachusetts, a single ranch, good privacy with an in ground pool.
That would be impossible today.
Maybe he sold drugs or turned tricks on his route...
