Are we a modern slave?

Have you ever question yourself, if we are indeed living in a modern slavery?

It may not look like slavery but think about this..

We pay to get education
We then need to work to pay for our education and later our children education
We need to work to put food on the table.
We need to work so we can pay rent and all other bills.
Yet at the end of the month some family had just enough to survive before the next pay cheque comes in. 
Who has set up this system for us to follow?

The average income of a family, every month will be just enough to pay the house rent, bills, schooling for children, set food on the table for the family and once in a while having a holiday. Not many of us have the privileges of having 10 or 20 thousand dollars extra every month after all bills are paid. Not even 100 dollars extra for some.

Yet we still struggle and go to work and put the kids to school and take a loan for housing so we could put shelter over our head. That loan alone can last half our lifetime or even a lifetime for some people. Still we human being keeps on waking up in the morning and repeating doing the same thing over and over again.

Realistic, we need to pay for education especially for higher education in some countries and without these good education you can never find a good work or build up a good career.
So a good career is like holding an average income which a big percentage of the world population do hold. These group of people has a decent house, a car, some nice decent food on the table and manage to have few days of fun traveling sometimes. Out of 365 days, the numbers of days that we are having fun are actually very little and the numbers we have to do the work just to pay all the systems that are set for us is not balancing well.

We are born and later as early as 3 or 4 years old in some country, our parents will start to send our children to preschool.  That is where we start to pay for education for our children from as young as that age until they finish they university. Then it is exactly like I wrote all the above.
I felt that we are the modern slavery. A big percentage of the population are still suffering even with decent income because of the systems we have to follow.

Only very few percentage of the population are really wealthy. Their wealth is beyond unimaginable and unexplainable. Interesting why people have not reacted. Are we fully program to just follow the systems?
