You’re all crazy Success/Cheers

This is not a tip or anything useful but I feel like I need to say it.

Just reading some of your stories I came to realise that Americans are made of a different thing.

You often have multiple jobs, sometimes study and the same time, have kids or taking care of someone. Have no healthcare, pay everything out of pocket and somehow you still make it. And for the most part with a smile.

You guys probably don’t realise this but it’s unbelievable for a lot of folks in Europe. You’re very hard workers and kuddos for that.

Keep it up.

The ones who are smiling are largely middle class. I know very few poor people who aren't miserable/anxious

That’s everywhere, not just USA.

Those poor who are smiling are 1st and 2nd gen immigrants. Poverty in US is on easy mode for them.
