    I’ve never even wanted the American dream. I just want to stop being used and left out to dry.

      I don’t want to be rich.

      I want to not worry about my car breaking down and being unable to work or live because of it. I want to not worry about covering my mortgage and also having food in the fridge. I want to not worry about my 16 year old water heater failing on me and knowing that it’ll be, at minimum, months before I can replace it.

      That’s all I want.
