1. Question: How good were Morgan and Alex at budgeting for the 30 day period?
Answer: For the most part, Alex and Morgan were pretty good at budgeting for their 30 day period. I think that the hardest part in budgeting for them was when they had the kids over for easter. They wanted to make sure that they were more than happy while spending time with them. It was hard for the because in order to make the kids happy they had to do things with them like going to the movies and buying them candy and gifts for their easter baskets and also for them to have a warm blanket and a place to sleep. Another big obstacle that they had was when they went to the hospital and they had about a $1200 hospital bill. Alex stressed more about money than Morgan but overall they did pretty well with budgeting.
7. Do you agree with Sen. Ted Kennedy's argument that raising the minimum wage helps families? What about the opposing side that is against raising the minimum wage?
Answer: In a way i do agree with Sen. Ted Kennedy because from watching 30 days it looks like it is the most difficult thing to do when living off of 7 dollars or less that seems like it is impossible to live off of. I know that me living by myself on minimum wage would probably be the hardest thing in my natural life to do. To the other side they can stand to give a few dollars more. IT'S NOT LIKE THE WORKERS WOULD EVEN PUT A DENT IN THE MONEY THAT THEY ARE MAKING! So why be selfish and not try to help out the people who are making their business better? So yes i do believe that raising minimum wage will help the poor american families in our country because it is damn near impossible to live off of $7-$8.25 for a full month having to stretch out a check.
