Starting to get resentful in Age 35

I am a 35 year old woman who is college educated and has a pretty good career with a well paying job. My husband also. Then why can’t we make ends meet? We have tried to keep up with stuff. We started filing single 0 for taxes because the end of the year hit us hard previously. But I cannot sustain a family of 4 on what we bring home with that filing. Also, bills just keep adding up, roof, new charges with escrow account.....the car needing a fix or two.

When does it stop? When do we even out? I know somewhat that the economy sucks balls right now, but how is all this snowballing? Thank god I have a job where I can pick up overtime, especially graveyards, but damn if that doesn’t get you tired.

My husband is ready to move out of state, but to where? Are things really any better anywhere else? Where can we go that my vert Hispanic kids won’t get singled out? Where I’ll get paid enough COLA to meet my needs? I mean I just kinda seems like the entirety of the US is in the same ugliness, so why not stick to the devil you know?

I am getting resentful of being college educated, of having a career, having spent time doing things “the right way” and going through just sucks.

I am a woman of faith, and I have recently said that my faith is not as strong as it used to be? Is this Him working to strengthen that faith? It is said, I am unsure if it is written, that he never gives you more than you can handle. I’m kinda feeling like I’m in a canoe in rough waters. Also, and this is just a hind thought, aren’t these the kind of things that break or make marriages? Too much of something can cause it to give. Nothing is unbreakable.
