Introduction · The Working Man Reset

Introduction

Hi Everyone. Here is a brief intro which led me to joining this group.

Originally from a council estate in Merseyside and worked a decade for the Dept of Social Security. Eventually got married to a lady from California and moved to L.A. in 2005 and started a family.

Now in my 50’s and really feeling the strain as talked about in Anthony’s video’s. The cost of living (esp since Covid) and general shift in society have made it hard to get by, mentally, physically and financially.

No matter how many hours I work, the pay is never enough to cover the bills.i think my home insurance has increased £500pm over the last year. Cancelling Netflix ain’t gonna cover that. I see my kids less and less because I am always working or sleeping. My health is rapidly deteriorating due to bad diet, a sedentary lifestyle with no time to exercise. If I focus on myself then the bills don’t get paid.

I am mentally strong but it’s taking its toll. I stay positive and am grateful for my family and many things.

I know we are not supposed to post quotes but there is one that is stuck in my mind and resonates with me. “No one is coming to save you”.

Sorry if this sounds fragmented. I am in a rush to get back to work.

Hope to get to know you all in the future.

Best regards
