1) How good were Morgan and Alex at budgeting for the 30 day period?
Despite the fact that both Morgan and Alex were hospitalized, they did a great job at budgeting. They had a concise plan and were economically conscious. Unfortunately, due to unforeseen circumstances, Morgan and Alex ended up in debt. As stated in the movie, they had every advantage possible. Depressing enough, however, they only escaped by the skin of their teeth.
2) Observe how easy it was for Morgan and Alex to get into an argument over finances. What is the underlying feeling that you think is at the cause of the conflict?
Given Morgan and Alex's financial situation, they were under quite a bit of stress. Therefore, when they had 2 children staying with them, there was little fun to be had. However, Morgan ended up indulging the kids and spent more money than Alex wanted. Due to the stress of living on minimum wage, Morgan and Alex argued over 60 cents. Although 60 cents seems like nothing, given the circumstances, Alex thought different.
