Hardworking Veteran and Father

My name is Michael,
I have lived in Montana most of my life barring the time I spent overseas, and across the United States while in the Armed Forces. I went to school for secondary Education in Political Science and Economics. However, I did not finish my degree. I deployed to Iraq after my sophomore year of college. When I returned there were plenty of great paying job opportunities. I worked for two Fortune 500 companies, but do to issues from my deployment I did not pursue either of the careers. I will admit that I became addicted to pain killers after being diagnosed with five broken vertebrates from a sixty-pound improvised explosive device detonated under my vehicle. My crew and I are extremely fortunate. I have since turned my life around, but it cost me a retirement through the military and a few great career options with accompanying 401k’s.

I have a beautiful girlfriend and we share a boy. She has another boy from her previous relationship. I did not grow up wealthy and severely lack cultural capital for our next generation. Try as hard as we may, we cannot seem to get ahead. A couple of years ago we purchased a used vehicle that has cost us in repairs the equivalent of what we paid for it. It has been one thing after another. The home we have purchased has been a constant drain on money. Necessities that needed fixed or replacements like doors, water heater, furnace, windows, and roof. It gets extremely cold here in the winters. At times it can get as low as negative sixty degrees Fahrenheit. All this to say the repairs are absolutely necessary and not aesthetic fixes.

For the last year we have been saving one hundred dollars a week. Unfortunately, those funds were spent on new refrigerator and doors for our home. We are in desperate need of a new vehicle, and ultimately what needs to happen is some sort of reprieve from the constant and continuous spending for the aforementioned necessities. With prices continually increasing we have been unable to save for the last month. We need help. I am not blaming all of our hardships on the economy or others entities. It has just become increasingly tough with a family and responsibilities that accompany it.
I work fifty-plus hours a week. When I get home from work we get two hours of family time before bed. My girlfriend works part time as well as raises the boys. We are doing everything right, or at least we believe we are.

Rural Montana is not a bastion of wealth, but it is our home, where our families reside, and where we want to raise our boys. My family has been here since there were humans on this continent. I am proud to be a multigenerational Montanan, and proud of our Native American and immigrant heritage. My family settled and married into the local tribe. I do not benefit from the reservation, because until recently we were not federally recognized. Moreover, I have healthcare through work anyways so there is not much help available there.

I do not believe in a redistribution of wealth and that is not what I am looking for. What I am proposing is that someone invest in the future of a thirty-six year old veteran, servant of society, and father’s immediate families future and helping create cultural capital for generations to come. We have resisted getting into debt with a majority of our purchases being cash from savings. Seeing all the debt in the news we have tried to be as responsible as possible. We live three hours from the nearest city. We need a reliable vehicle that she desperately deserves. We need a savings account that will be able to provide for our children’s future. I sincerely don’t care if I am in new clothes, but I want my children to need for absolutely nothing. I do not want to worry about our credit cards that are exclusively being used on groceries getting paid. If there is anyone out there that believes in helping a real person who just wants to build a base of cultural capital we would sincerely appreciate it. Thank you for taking the time. For more information I would be more than happy to enlighten you.
