10. At first, I was surprised about the electric company deposit request. I didn't even know that electric companies could ask for security deposits. However, after looking at the situation that Morgan and Alex were in and where they were living, I wasn't surprised that the electric company requested a deposit. Of all places to ask for money, it seems most likely that the company would target a bad neighborhood. Since people moved in and out of the apartment, they probably didn't pay the bills on time or at all. Even though previously unpaid bills aren't Morgan and Alex's fault, the electric company just wants to make money.
11. When Morgan took out his niece and nephew for a treat, Alex immediately got upset. She was mad because she felt that Morgan was being careless with all the money they were working so hard to save. It didn't take much for Morgan and Alex to get into a fight over money. I think since money is one of the main ways people can maintain a healthy lifestyle, it is very hard to get along when you don't agree with someone on how money should be spent. It must have been pretty stressful to not have enough money to what they were used to. I think the stress of not having enough money was the underlying cause of the conflict.
