"we barely have anything left to put into savings. And it's going to be even worse when my wife gives birth in a few months"

See, I don't understand this. If you know you don't have any extra money, why would you have children? I always hear people say 'we'd have so much money if it wasn't for the kids'. Well, don't have kids!

This is a good point. Most younger people now (I'm in my 40s) want to live in crazy expensive coastal cities. Which is cool, but then you can't complain when home/rent prices are ridiculous and your pay doesn't match up. There are a lot of cities all over the US where you can make a good living and afford your house or rent.

15 years ago we started getting priced out of Las Vegas when we lived there and started house hunting. We decided to move to Nashville. Best move we ever made. There were tons of good paying jobs, housing was cheap and we were able to buy our first house. Now Nashville is booming and the housing market has gone way up. Which is good for us when we want to sell. But there are lots of other non-coastal cities that are affordable and offer good paying jobs.

No, the constitution gives Americans the RIGHT to bear arms, while the nation's and state's laws let us know WHICH arms we can bear. While laws can and do regulate arms usage and legality, they cannot take away the RIGHT to bear arms.

If you want to abolish the RIGHT to bear arms, that's a constitutional amendment. Good luck with that.
