6.  What do you think Gerald’s reasoning regarding how the cost of living wage has devalued over the last 25 years and what that means for his current employment status?
I completely agree with Gerald. I think it is unfair he made $7.50 an hour 25 years ago and now only makes $7 an hour. Over these last 25 years, everything regarding money has changed. The cost of living has skyrocketed compared to 25 years ago. The value of money has downgraded as well. Back then, $7 was worth a lot more than $7 now. And he gets less now than he did 25 years ago. We need to change the minimum wage.

12.   Observe how easy it was for Morgan and Alex to get into arguments over finance. What is the underlying feeling that you think is at the cause of the conflict?

I think Morgan and Alex got into a lot of arguments because they did not have any money. They don’t have enough money to have fun, they barely have enough to survive. Any unnecessary payments they make would start a giant argument. Every argument Morgan and Alex had, had to do money. Morgan has a totally different personality than Alex. Alex is more uptight with the money, while Morgan just spent money whenever he felt like it. It is very hard to keep a relationship, while always having to worry.
