A house, two cars, a healthy relationship ,a career, livable wage, 2.5 kids, a dog. ya know, the expectation many children were told in school.

Everything I hear on social media says this is a myth.

Pretty much the only reason I own my home and will be able to retire is I got fucked up in the military.

No down payment, a monthly check that covers my mortgage, and I'll never have to pay for healthcare.

I get all the shit progressives want everyone to have and it's insane how big of a difference it makes. Not sure if I'll live long enough to see everyone else get that stuff, but I hope I do.
