I am a 27-year-old college graduate with no debt other than my mortgage. I work full-time for a non-profit animal welfare organization and, at a little less than $15,000/year, am one of the highest paid employees. My husband is a stay-at-home dad (it’s cheaper than paying for child care).
Our son needed emergency surgery two hours after he was born, which saved his life and cost us just over $22,000 – our entire savings. We were lucky to have had that savings account. Now we live paycheck to paycheck and worry about “unexpected expenses” every month.
I am sick of being painted as lazy and selfish by Washington politicians who spend more on one outfit than I make in one month.
