I am a single income earner head of household making just over $100,000 a year. I have a stay at home wife , and 3 kids ages 4,8,12. We are struggling and live off credit cards. We do not qualify for any assistance due to my income but we don’t have any extra money after taxes and food. We eat healthy which is 3 x as expensive as eating processed food.
We need some sort of tax break , we wanted to have more kids but could not afford them. We can’t afford sports or anything extra. My income split between 5 people leaves nothing extra We are down to 1 car to save money.
My parents and my wife’s have all passed away so we have no family support.
There are so many taking advantage of the government assistance and all the taxes I pay I qualify for none.
Please help.
I cant 2nd this enough. Im in the same situation. We cant even afford health insurance because its too expensive. But my wife stays home so we can homeshool the kids. Ive done my best to be the best citizen i can for my country. Unfortunately, help never comes our way.
Agreed. It’s tough and we are in a weird situation that used to be the norm. Husband went to work, stay at home mom. Kids grew up eating home cooked meals. Family values and teaching them how to be good little people with manners.
Now we try to live up to all of that but my income is just not enough. I apply for jobs all the time and find some that have no concern for work life balance. I can make a little more money but be taxed a ton more and barely see my family or keep doing what I am doing and rack up debt. I’m lucky my job supplies benefits or I’d be screwed. Can we please take America citizens who are in our positions in to consideration ?
I appreciate the reply and have a ton of respect for you @Joshua_Cornett
