I am thanks to a combination of my learning how credit should actually be used and careful budgeting as well as an excellent choice to get into information technology. I can actually support my adult son as well as take care of his brother and my disabled wife and living what would’ve largely been considered middle class by their standard. At this point they were getting mortgage calls for juggling payments and spending wrecklessly while living in a double wide mobile home in the rural appalachias.

Similar happened to me as well, got sucker punched by my bully at the lockers in jr high, they tried to give me out of school suspension, which lasted for a day, my mom got me back in chewing out the principal

Lincoln’s nice though I have found Omaha a little more affordable, same great purple people, same crappy state government

Armatrons were pretty neat but I can definitely imagine why functional ones are nigh impossible to obtain, I would imagine all the plastic gearing inside either chipped away by careless use and worn down over years
