- Budgeting played a huge role in their survival because if they were spending money like how people do on a regular basis like they do in 2013 they would've been in debt because minimum wage now is 2 dollars higher than what it was before in 2007 minimum wage was 2.80-4.25. Now people cant survive off 4.25 an hour working most of their day and having a family to feed you would be dead broke, Morgans friend in the movie had 4 mouths to feed and he was working just like him no benefits were given to both of them because they were working for a temp agency, Alex and Morgan were in debt so imagine how his friend was living with 4 kids Morgan and Alex had to think about how much they were going to spend before they bought something to budget their money they get.
3.Do you feel that race was a factor in getting hired or finding an apartment for Morgan and Alex? What about the fact that they had no children?
- Yes i feel that race was a part of it race is always a part of it if you're educated and artistic and looking for a job you would be able to get it if you're white over a colored person, You will always get discriminated, Racism will always play a role in todays society. Many people are getting criticized by their color of skin just because they achieve something in life
8.Why do you think that Alex became so emotional about the services that were given to her and Morgan at The Free Store?
- I think that she was emotional because they were living on minimum wage and they could barely afford anything so they didn't have any furniture for that time and had to eat on the floor and their apartment was infested with ants, ants were everywhere and hey aren't used to living in those conditions, so they would be feeling grateful for what they have gotten for free because they were hurting and was sad that they didn't have enough money for furniture.
