    I am a part-timer worker for Publix and my paycheck per week is 200 dollars. Being Publix a billionaire company and one of the best places to work comparing with other supermarkets and fast food sellers, I always do overtime. The reason is that I have to pay 241 dollars for my Cadillac2006 insurance and my monthly statement of what I own for the car is 249.49 dollars. I give my mom every moth 200 dollars to help her pay a house’s rent of 1200 dollars and at the end of the month what I have left is 120 dollars to pay other expenses like gasoline and lunch. According to McBudget the minimum monthly statement is 2060 dollars and I am not even near to that amount. However, my monthly spending money is greater than McBudget’ assumption. I am a lucky person for having that…

    In June 1998, Barbara left behind everything that was either meaningful or useful to her everyday needs. She was terrified at the beginning not wanting to be revealed for who she really was, a middle-class journalist who was about to explore the world that welfare mothers were living in. Barbara settled for an efficiency of five hundred dollars a month that was thirty miles north of Key West, Florida. When Barbara started searching a low wage job she had two rules. The first one was that she could not use any skills that came from her education or regular career. The second rule was that she had to take the best paying job that was offered to her at the time, and strive for the best on maintaining it. Barbara wanted to avoid being a waitress due to the fact that when she was eighteen it would leave her “bone tired.” For approximately three days she went out and applied at local hotels and supermarkets. After those days had passed she was surprised that she had not received any calls for an interview. She later comes up with the conclusion that the wanted ads were not very sufficient on the actual jobs that were open at that time. Barbara finally lands a job at a restaurant as a waitress. For two weeks she worked full time from two in the afternoon till ten at night, and earning only two dollars and forty-three cents plus tips. She analyzes her co-workers living conditions in order to get a better understanding on how they budget their money. For instance, ‘Gail,’ was sharing a room in a downtown house with…

    One of my adult children was always coming up short for one thing or another, and would invariably ask “Mom can I borrow some money until next pay day?” The third time this occurred I agreed to loan the funds on the condition that she sit down with me and create a budget, and further, that she save the receipts for all of her expenditures for one month. It was really an eye opener for her. (She was spending around $200.00 a month on soda pop alone.) She started her budget about three years ago and has not had to borrow since……
