Victoria Amato



1. Alex was very frugal with her money and would walk to work to save $2.50 but Morgan believes in a weekend off and that they deserve to spend a little more when Alex thinks it is foolish to spend any "unnecessary money". When the children came to visit them, Morgan decided to splurge on them despite Alex's protests. In whole, the couple knew that they had limited funds and that they would have to ration their income. They did well by not buying snacks and walking to work in order to save their money.

7. The "working poor" are the Americans that go out and actively find temporary jobs but are still below the poverty line. An example of the "working poor" is the mexican couple in the emergency room because they are living a pay-check to pay-check lifestyle and are constantly in fear of not being able to eat or pay their bills. The "working poor" are always in debt and cannot afford not to work because of the repercussions such as not being able to pay their bills.
