My mother and father both work for the government when they met and I think that’s when they had their best opportunity to have careers and make some money. After that my father decided that he had a calling to be a preacher, Which caused us to move quite a bit while my brother and I were growing up and we always seem to have enough money to get by but never an access luckily they saved enough money to Own a home which my mother lives in now, And she got a job later in life that secured her health care so we won’t ever have to worry about being on the hook for large medical bills in her golden years
