Shocked looking back at how well spiro worked for me

First photo was from a year and a month ago. Second photo was taken a few days ago. I got my prescription for 100 mg of spiro daily about a year ago and have been consistent with it ever since. My skin isn't perfect but I essentially don't really have acne anymore. First pic is how I would get around my period and/or if I had any extra stress or lack of sleep. I was used to it but looking back now, it's crazy how much hormonal acne and scarring and scabbing I was always dealing with, since I tended to pick at it a lot. I seriously have taken for granted how much clearer my skin is now and how my oil levels are controlled.

I also am very consistent with a low maintenance skincare routine, just CosRx Eye Cream, Midha Rice Lotion and/or Cetaphil Sunscreen moisturizer and Midha Rice Bran Face Wash daily. All of that has helped my skin be more glowy too. But spiro has made the biggest difference for me, I wish I would've tried it sooner.

How are young middle class families making it work??

My husband and I are newlyweds in our mid 20s and 30s. We're both working full time right now and plan to continue doing so but we're not in the most lucrative career fields. At most, we'd probably be making 100k a year combined (I'm currently searching for my next job and hoping to find a decent salary). We have some debts to pay, mostly our car loans, but nothing crazy. We really want to start having kids within the next couple years. Buying a home is practically out of the equation for the next few years at least. But even browsing rental prices for townhomes is disheartening right now!

We don't want to delay having kids very long, but I HATE the idea of still working full time while I have little ones and I don't like the idea of daycares. Wouldn't paying for childcare pretty much cancel out the income I would make anyways? We have our families in the area but my mom has already made it clear she doesn't want to be a daily babysitter and his mom has a chronic illness that makes it hard for her to watch littles. I'm not even pregnant yet and it's already stressing me out. Family and my husband's job are keeping us pretty tied down to this state.

How do people like us make it work?? Are you just barely scraping by??

EDIT: We are pretty set on having kids (if we are able to). Not changing our minds on that anytime soon. It's just important to our personal beliefs and values. So saying "don't have kids" is not helpful, lol.

TLDR: Husband and I are making maximum 100k a year and it still feels nearly impossible to rent (let alone buy) a townhome and start having kids within the next couple years. How are young families making it work right now??

My husband and I just went to see Michael last night and WOW! We LOVED it. I think we're gonna go back and watch it again. It was too short, lol!

What were some of y'alls favorite scenes?? >!I loved the scene showcasing young Michael's vocals when they showed him recording "Who's Lovin You", and of course the ending showing the concerts made you really feel you were there. Also, my husband cried in the scene where Michael is in the hospital after the burn incident talking to his mom. !<
