Nice throwback from reading some of these posts.
As a kid, dinner for me would often consist of boiled rice with salt & butter. Sometimes if my brother and I were good, it would be ketchup & rice! I felt like an aristocrat for once. Toys & Clothes would consist of donations from others
Now in adulthood, I make decent money but with "Van-flation", I literally make pennies on the dollar that would allow me to live comfortably elsewhere in the country.
No opioids for me just yet
