Left-right for him is the debate of the previous generation (Photo: Yellow Vests)

"I'm trying to think where I went wrong? Why can I not close a month?

Why should I get looks from my kids who want something and I really can not give them?

I work and earn above average, my wife works and earns an average salary We have not flown abroad for several years Favors.

No more hotels and nothing!

So where's the name for money ?!

Where is everything going ??

I checked everything expenses and really our conduct is just fine and then I understood ... I understood why I do not close a month I understood why I have to explain to my children why they do not go anywhere on vacation.

I understood why I do not have a stable ground under my feet as my parents gave me when I was a child. "

Wrote Liram Danin from Jerusalem in a Facebook post that went viral in an instant. In a conversation with Danin we tried to find out what makes an anonymous person exposed Was considered one who has no financial difficulties.

Danin: "Ten years ago we would not have had such a conversation. I was sitting with my son, now it is a period of freedom and I would be happy to do something with my children. We all go out and have fun and now I realized that here too I have to take things down at the expense of the child. "There are some items I took off the shopping cart. Suddenly you also come across cuts in the big holiday. I used to hear about someone who had something happen to them - you hear you share in his grief, but suddenly it comes to you and I'm still considered a relatively neat person. It made me take it out." .

"I'm a remodeling contractor, my wife is a video editor. We're not supposed to experience that. What happened to us here is that the middle class has become someone who manages to work and somehow pays rent and some money to eat and that's it."

"My wife and I's salary together is in the NIS 19,000 range, along with an annuity because I have a child on the spectrum. It's a tough deal, it's more money coming out in a month but it's not something out of the ordinary that has nothing to do with it."

It is important for Danin to point out that the child is a great happiness for him and that he does not come out resentful of it: "A lot of people have to deal with one disability or another, but even a person who has such a deal should not collapse."

Intermediate: "Roads should be blocked"

I started this fight on my own, I wrote a post and announced that I was going to stand in front of the Knesset for a whole week and then the yellow vests arrived and they joined.

I tried their principle, they wanted to make everything beautiful and dignified and I think roads should be blocked.

I saw what went on in France and I want to do it here with us. "

"We sat on the economics committee, we talked to Lieberman but it didn't really help, we turned to Minister Zeev Elkin. We are the middle class. We pay taxes, we do everything for the country - why can we not buy an apartment in the country? Why can we do nothing in the country?" "

Welfare.

This is not the answer of a minister in Israel. It was embarrassing. I voted for Bennett because of Avir Kara who promised to help the self-employed and I believed in him saying 'Friends Avir Kara is going to change everything', but it did not really work."

Left-right is a privilege

Later in the conversation, Danin points out an interesting point, the generational gap.

While the adults, he says, are mostly preoccupied with the political discourse of right and left, the young understand that at the moment the order of the hour is to vote for those who will provide a solution to the economic troubles.

Danin shoots: "Left right today is a privilege. I saw it in my post. You see comments from young people who write to me 'you are right, we should vote for who will help us' while the adults say 'enough to complain what do you want the left / right to go up?'.

Young people today do not interest them neither left nor right.

We are interested in the cost of living.

I want to look our child in the eye, I want to take care of my child and that's it.

No one is going to bomb Iran - since World War II no atomic bomb has been dropped.

"In the economic situation, if we do not invest now, they will have to spend all the money that the state will save on the police, because the level of crime will only increase."

He adds: "Adults do not understand what it is like to raise children in this generation. We do not cry, we work just as they had twenty years ago."

"Apart from that, the deputy minister's door is open to everyone and his phone is famous everywhere. The deputy minister's office also helps thousands of businesses in Israel individually."
