Is Life Just a Struggle

where is there hope when our economy is declining so fast we get 7.50 an hour and 4 of that is for a gallon of gas but we have to get to work so we must have it and lord forbid if you have a bad habit we spend 8 hours a day working for minimal wage and after taxes we tally our pay about 54 dollars is all we made and after a week's work you haven't made a cent trying to put away a little something for light water and rent putting in overtime hoping some bills to meet not thinking of the fact that you have to eat oh yea' the kids and spouse and the few little things you must get for the house you find for some reason things are just too hard and you find yourself taking on a second job now that's 8 hours a day working for dimes another 4 hours working part time 12 hours of your life spent in torment and before you can get paid most of it's spent everyone in the house works kids and wife yet it's still hard to live a decent life now i ask is it just me who 's questioning why there are people out there so well off and im struggling just to get by

the lord tests us all in many ways the question is allways though how are you going to rise above on the plus side that second job means more time away from the misses and less nagging
