Financially, we are well enough to have my family’s needs met comfortably but frugally. Can’t really ask for more, though additional breathing room would be nice. We can afford emergencies and recover after some time.
My parents and grandparents taught frugality; luck made ends meet like a good job and buying a house at the right time.
We have a bit of savings I have in mutual funds because I’m currently too mentally tired and risk-averse to pick something with higher return potential.
I know many toxic masculinity guys, I think it’s true. Eww.
