Australia, I am sure there are people worse off than me, this is just part of my attempt at turning things around and somewhere to get some feed back. I have found very few people with enough self awareness to be able to share things with. I am sure someone will provide me with the reality check required to get me back on track.
I hope that you kept your baby. That is terrible to have had to consider that.
Personally, we have way too much debt and it's a terrible burden on my husband especially who has to work so hard just to keep things at bay. He has been fortunate to stay employed but is getting worn out. We have made it a priority for me to stay home with our 3 children and homeschool them. I would rather declare bankruptcy and drastically downsize though than change what we believe is the best way to raise them.
In the past one income was sufficient to care for a family, but things have changed where 2 incomes is often needed. The people have become poorer because of government policies and inflation.
I do believe that things are going to change soon, and the governments will be forced to go back on a gold/silver standard as the current fiat system totally fails. The transition will be hard for most people though. If you can manage to buy yourself a bit of silver bullion, that should help you in the transition.
Oh yeah we started purchasing a couple of coins years ago prior to losing my job, but we will probably have to cash them in unfortunately. We have held off until now. You have a lot of good articles I will be going through them to learn more about vaccination. I am in two minds about the matter, on one hand I don't trust anything the government is trying to push, however, preventing these diseases is important.
We have a thing called hendra virus here that effects horses and the vets can refuse to work on the horse unless it is vaccinated. The vaccination (i'm told by vets) is successful. So yeah bit confused, I don't want my mistrust of the government to cloud rational skepticism.
I'm a big advocate for home schooling (people think I am crazy) and for kids to have minimum one of the parents around. In fact during my down time I have opted to go back to get a degree (engineering). Partly to ensure that I have the knowledge to provide a sound education. People always argue that the child doesn't get socialised, which I find amusing because it is just that type of socialisation that we are trying to avoid. The money you pay for education is ridiculous and the education they provide is sub-par. I know, I just finished a year of uni (hard to do at my age) with a clever bunch of kids, mostly internationals (from south east asia) running rings around the Aussies some of which scored in the top 1 %. But I don't want to give away too much, I want to save some for my next post.
Oh Also bankruptcy is not option for me at the moment, and you should really try everything before bankruptcy or check how it effects you guys. It will prevent me from working in certain fields and obtaining professional certification.
I understand. It is a better option than suicide though.
I was just saying that bankruptcy is the worst-case scenario,
and that even the worst-case scenario is better than giving up what I believe is best for our children/family.
