Thanks so much for that. Nice to know I’m a failure. I’ve chosen to be a stay-at-home-mom who works part-time when necessary to save my sanity or earn needed money.

As I have made the focus of my life my family, I enter and leave the workplace often and usually work jobs that will schedule around my family needs. As a result, I don’t get hired at higher than minimum wage and rarely get much above that before my family needs trump my meager income.

I’m screwed when it comes to Social Security. Luckily I’ve had employers who offer retirement savings to part-time employees so I have a a sheckel more to add to the shilling I’ll get from FICA at 65.

Because I haven’t had to choose family over work, I’ve been lucky enough to raise a child who is a contributor to the economy.

Nice to know I’ve failed at life.
