I've spent my entire adult life setting goals with regard to my wages. I can remember in the late 90s saying to myself “if I can just make $10 an hour I'll be comfortable”. Here I am at 40 years old, I make a little over $40 an hour and I'm still not comfortable. I live paycheck to paycheck and I dont know how I'm gonna pay for my daughters college. Saving money is next to impossible and everytime I get a little bit something comes up. I know in comparison I dont have a lot to complain about but in my story I dont see a light at the end of the tunnel. I have a little in 401k but it will never be enough to sustain me and I'm pretty sure my social security wont either. So here's to working till the day we die!
