I’ve experienced that same guilt myself—feeling like I wasn’t doing enough for my family. This question comes from my personal moments of doubt.

Completely normal. I’ve felt it too.
Even when it’s out of our control—economy, job market, responsibilities—we still blame ourselves. Middle-aged men often measure their worth by their income. So when income drops, self-esteem drops with it.
But guilt doesn’t mean failure; it just means you care deeply about your family.
