I play this role in my family too, have for a long time. I have a "good" job, and I'm extremely grateful, but even with that we've been solidly losing ground for a few years now. Had to make increasingly kinda desperate moves to retain the required stability to be able to just predictably house myself and my loved ones, both the present folks under my roof and keeping an eye toward the future.

All signs (to me) point to this situation getting much worse, and I see no concrete expectations of improvement on the horizon. Can't think of one hopeful signal. And I know very, very well that my family and I are clearly among the more fortunate, all things considered.
