    Don't forsake sleep for debt clearance timeliness. It will lead to a short life and you may not see your grandchildren. Truestory. Let go of one of those jobs, change careers, spend more time with your wife, get sleep and EXTEND YOUR DEBT ELIMINATION TIMELINE. Be smart.

      So true, living life under constant stress leads to damage from too much cortisol/ stress hormone production. It's good to have goals like debt reduction, but don't do it at the expense of your mental/physical health.

    I used to watch my neighbors baby while she worked, and a toddler can fit into her kids daily routine. Moms have been watching each other’s kids for years, just find one who will pay you for it.

    At this point both financially and relationship wise - the son may benefit more from 15 minutes of kicking a soccer ball with dad in the backyard over paying for a season of team soccer. If he doesn't know how much he makes at each job and they are paying for team sports still despite saying they are desperate then maybe they just need to get organized and prioritize differently.

    You really have to wonder why people like Jermaine have 4 kids. Just keep popping them out! Very stressful unless getting lots of money comes pretty easy for you and your family, otherwise constant struggle.

      When you love your children and you understand that once your dead and gone it's the only thing you left on Earth of importance. Then the stress is worth going through for the sake of your family. Only certain cultures look at children as a burden.

    • @sanell6
      @sanell6 3 года назад +7

      Was wondering the same thing…why have more kids than you can take care of properly? Can’t be good for the kids when dad basically kills himself trying to provide for them. Sometimes loving your kids is choosing to not have more kids so you can take better care of the ones you have (physically, mentally and emotionally)

      I agree ☝️ it is irresponsible and selfish. Stop worrying about satisfying your needs and start using birth control. It is gross behavior and self serving. Poor mom gets no time to breathe. However it’s her fault too. You are in debt making $45,000 a year with 4 kids working 120 hours a week. This is just irresponsible in my opinion and it never ends well when the income earner is burnt out. How does anyone afford 4 kids making $45,000 a year? My family had 3 kids making the same and we were dirt poor. We never saw dad and mom started to check out. Then the neglect comes when mom is warn thin. It’s selfish to the children you cannot afford. You joke about having another accident because your self serving.
