lady all my life we all grew up in the same church a child talking to her when i was a little younger. she didn't give me a shot she said he was on the back porch it was a couple. and he was directly talking to me while i've been trying to get this one girl's heart for all the evil and not give me a chance and i just started to laugh and i'm thank you he really has and he really is not. the be. pleased. we've been loving each other. i've been working in different departments currently i'm a. specialist. i was a. twenty five to fifty. to fifty sounds like not to fifty still.

it's overwhelming sometimes. i get my check is just not enough and i have i can't get down because my family's look at me you know so if i see here with sass face they're probably going to do exactly. right i don't need a pity party we need to make this work.

we're not the type to say oh we're going to drop our kids off here and drop our kids off the. bench who was coming for you but it has to be even if my bad. but his mom and my dad both work full time. it's hard to. believe. we weren't out of money. when short. my son is asthmatic. just in case i need to hurry up to get to the hospital i mean to know there i can give you walking you don't miss class this is. good. and i just don't feel that camper widmark ha.

ha. d.j. works at walgreens is flagship store downtown. his chance to see his kids before bed depends on making a good bus connection. if. he's finally able to call to keep which he isn't allowed to do during his shift is not very right still lacking that i've ever run it was my first. day i always hated when i grew up. this is. not a friday we're ready for. the brass would say soon abrogation the words i wish it

was i got it right out of his right ear and i got him a government i mean. it's out. today was another terrible day it was just that a clock to our collective that's all there was to the hour. as having to get home and get some little ones and actually see me. not in the morning and nights i was it's a bit. to my deejays lucky on average she can talk the kids into bed just one night a week. so

. we're both local. and i let you know when you get it right there is a transcription. about twenty twentieth's can you print out all these jobs. already nice find them makes it easy. but it was. i did two tours in iraq working back i couldn't find a job anywhere i was on government assistance i was on food stamps it's very low. i finally found a job at a quarter reporting agency six months ago. the manager bromine for interview she

asked me what i thought i should get paid i was like oh i should i don't know i think i said like thirteen dollars an hour she called me back after training will pay you seventeen dollars an hour and i was like wow i really kind of like coming by surprise that's more i was kind of. with the ok you detain reflects the county. i didn't get enough to divide in mcgovern county. your position was for five minutes or one and i think i was in late hours. i'm not convene there and night. so but i. was told. i've got a few words to practice. a little she said we'll make it work. it's just going to put in the key goes in the oven with your bush to think it goes turkey those neighbors have more to deal with it might turn into

a tiger. right now the living situation is crazy. for john jose marino and his girlfriend elizabeth bon ta live part of the week with jose's mom and the other part with elizabeth's parents after a year and a half together the couple has been saving money for a place of their own. this is where we all three sleep yes when we sleep over here . we stayed. there for number dinner for three people. should have his own room this is internal to the church. and that even delving into anything deeper i mean that's it's just hard to have a child a six year old and. you always hear about those rich and famous and then you hear about those who have the opposite complete and utter opposite but you never hear about those people literally have credit card debt you know three kids that they're put in a college or are you know living with

a stepson and modifying their life you know that's that's something you don't hear about you know and that's i think the american story. hospital bill credit card gas card here's my motorcycle insurance my car payment sprinkler fedders i still pay dues even though i don't work a construction company. they work the construction job for eight years so i went from macon fifty dollars an hour to making about three hundred a week. i worked last saturday eight hours i made fifty bucks so last week my total income was forty less than three hundred for the week paid my credit card this morning just the minimum balance and hope to god the doesn't go through till friday. but you know i live off

my credit cards when i don't make enough money so the last couple of months it's been minimum balances emilia's credit card debt is now sixteen thousand dollars which is just above the national household average of fifteen thousand dollars and . i can't do any worse than more that's for sure the worst that could happen is that i make the same amount of money. breakfast and lunch spot looking for happy and it's people i don't know about have people are honest. and dead of. oh oh. this one sounds good but i'm not sure italian restaurant but see why now it is a big plus so i haven't called because i'm thinking not about the white knowledge. i had planned for this morning person to work breakfast and lunch starting at six

am only monday through friday i would kill to get it. but they haven't called. these last couple months is very really really stressful there's just a lot going on a day you know china be a good role model i'm all found the right now i just lost my grandmother so just trying to be strong for everybody. and that's why i can go out to that court and be extra competitive because my place of peace is always been cool. i should fire i was i will shoot a monster. now so that i can say ok let's deal with this. i don't.

know where we come to the point where we're going to block what i was so i would go to that man the bottom post my compass at the back school that we very high school was fun. it was probably the greatest pride of my life as far as basketball. once i graduate i went off to the same as a minnesota top play there may be a semester they'll work out due to money i would love to stay but at the come back home. that's why i was discovered by a college they was looking for a point guard. not just. played there and then i told my legal i tour in seven different spots.

two days after surgery they knew i was on a basketball team. scholarship was kind of like taken away. to stay in school t.j. needed to take out more student. and i tore my shoulder i really thought it was over and. like just go a whole. area so that's how low i felt even worse when it's of my scottish when all the volunteers being all that stuff you know uplift the school to have to happen to me was devastating i came home. did i start a work of walkers. because he's falling behind on student loan payments d.j.'s and eligible for additional financial aid which he would need to finish his degree.

come on. somewhere to be. been waiting for. this one at the finish i have one more year. if it is. but i'll my first school it's a thousand years. not valuable without the. people working at mcdonald's you know to get out quarter to three now i know that i need. to be gone so. somewhere out of the way. there are some countries where children get to go to school three. and he's covered

through taxes. not here. we make it so hard for them so go with. and i don't think is right. we want our children to be competitive we want our children to go anywhere they want to accomplish anything they want to do. but they can't get an education because we can't afford. we can't afford it how is it a country so rich as we supposedly our. children can go to school. in the end someone could possibly say you know well as parents just be able to help them you're supposed be able to you know have it in your playing really. their head even when i was nineteen you know work they have walgreens and now that stuff.

takes some college courses but i think it's it is. so there is money coming from. i had to move back home and live in the basement of my parents' house it was a word. we've been here to. you know we've helped out her parents hosanna lizabeth live half of the week with elizabeth's parents in order to help them pay their mortgage. or make it longer. so over a longer they own the night or. my parents they get social security and medicare and stuff like that but it's not enough. being the private people that they are they never wanted tell me that they needed financial help they started willy with my uncle sitting me down and telling me how inconsiderate of a daughter i was because i had left and that they needed my help american young

professionals after they graduate and find a job they block the nest that's what do you do but when you have a hybrid of your own culture telling you no that's not what you do you go to care your parents are so hard to move back home and i was renting i loved it i felt crushed like my wings were now clipped paid twelve hundred dollars each month for their mortgage. my dad is receiving chemo. it's hard because. it's hard because you know i'm the youngest of my sisters and i have to take care of my parents. was also in remission and she's now diagnosed with cancer anymore but she was when i was in and college. in you know you grow up seeing your parents you know they're the ones that are strong for you. they're the ones taking care of you when you're sick. or in turn

young guys. always want to. go in there then i want to. thank you. but now it's. time work. i'm just one person. i want to finish our love. for people. she asked me to move here to

my dad's house to their house so the transition would be easier when she. you know to help my dad with things my sisters all have kids and it was harder for them to pick up and move with kids and i said sure. it's hard to be an adult and what your parents. you know ok there. perry. this is my little house the green one right there. i love my little house i wish i was here. i bought this house in two thousand and two when i was in construction but my motorcycle when i was in construction my car when i was in construction. yeah i

could've done this with. that seven hundred fifty square feet it's a duplex somebody else owns the other side they used to call it the little doll house it was always clean i had nice things and then when you lose a job making eighty thousand dollars a year. you know your options are either to keep it and struggle or let it go and i chose to to run. she was just out of her apprenticeship when i met her and i was fascinated that she was doing this job as i didn't know i mean i watched flashdance back in the eighty's. and i didn't know too many women who got into the trades and succeeded and work cept in. i was bartending and one day somebody so want to apply in the trades the trades like yeah you know. i went. to all the trades i went to electricians pipe fitters sprinkler fritters.

i remember when she got into the. they gave you a booklet to study over for the test and she must have studied that thing for. a test to test and i started may eighth two thousand for the sprinkler for years. i thought i'd died and went to heaven i'd never made their kind of money in my life i'd never had insurance. i couldn't make the doctor's appointments like oh my god i have insurance. and i remember what working on these scissors left you know to be attaching all that screws and fittings and the hangers to put the sprinkler has women in the trades generally don't make it very far if you do it because you have tough skin and you have to be because a lot of those guys you know what i mean they don't feel women should be doing their job it was spawn i had a lot of fun it was a busy time we were consistently and then in two thousand and eight it dropped

everything. and i got laid off in december of two thousand and eight when they started hiring back they just didn't call her back for whatever reason a younger stronger man could do probably more then you know a fifty year old woman is probably what a lot of them think but it's tough it's tough to go back i thought for sure that i would be able to retire in that field. i think the. it's my fear my fear is of not making enough to be able to upkeep. you know the things that i have. to the takes a lot don't a house. i bought the house in two thousand and two for ninety five thousand. and now i'm underwater on this mortgage. hobby or someday i'll be back.
