The worries of the working class include living bills, children's tuition, retirement funds, etc. 🤔

Lately, I’ve been crunching the numbers on my future, and honestly, it’s stressing me out. I’m almost 30, working a decent job in Chicago, and trying to figure out if I can ever afford both a kid and a comfortable retirement. The math just doesn’t add up—even with a $100k salary, it feels like I’m barely treading water between rent, bills, and trying to save for the future. Every day at work, I see colleagues juggling daycare calls and talking about college funds, while I’m over here wondering if I’ll ever be able to retire before 70. Is everyone else just ignoring retirement, or am I missing some secret? How do people actually pull this off? If you’ve figured out a way, please share your wisdom, because right now, I’m feeling pretty lost. 😅 #CareerPlanning #WorkLifeBalance #FinancialStress #JobCareer
