Growing up learning to be a independent human being. This means that all of my needs and wants are always met.

You know what that also brings? People taking advantage of what I bring to the table.

When is it my turn to be taken care of? I spent my whole life taking care of other people but it's a problem when I want someone to take care of me.

I understand in the world we live in today that it's hard to live off one source of income- but I do enjoy earning my own income.

It would be nice to be able to live off of passive income.

Always being the breadwinner in relationships isn't always sunshine and rainbows because no one is there for the breadwinner.

Would it be hard to ask to be able to catch a break?
