Things Cost Too Much

It’s getting more difficult to make it in this world every single day, my friend

Life is hard.

Seriously!

I mean, life is very difficult for the average person, and I am sure that it is excruciatingly challenging for millions of people around the work world.

I only know my own experiences and I can say, honestly, that every day gets a little more difficult than the day before.

It’s little things add big things.

It’s everything at once. But every day brings more decisions that you have to make that have consequences.

Let’s say that you want to go to a restaurant with a family of four. What do you do and which one do you choose?

I mean, any sit-down restaurant could end up costing you a hundred dollars or more and I don’t think it’s worth it, especially if there’s a chance that the service will not be good there.

Okay, you can switch to fast food. That’s a gamble, of course, and it’s not going to be healthy for your body. One idea is to use coupons there, and maybe each person can do separate orders with their own specific coupon. Goodness, it is already a lot to think about.
