Upon learning that everything in the store was donated, Alex was moved to tears. The generosity of the people who had donated evoked strong feelings in Alex. Additionally, Alex was extremely relieved because she had been under so much stress recently, which was caused by the strain on money between her and her husband, and living on minimum wage. Being able to have furniture in her apartment made it feel like a home, and would not have been possible for her without access to the Free Store.
12. Observe how easy it was for Morgan and Alex to get into an argument over finances. What is the underlying feeling that you think is at the cause of the conflict?
Morgan and Alex argued over finances because they had different views on how to relieve their stress over money. Morgan wanted to spend money to make himself feel better, whereas Alex was frugal and wanted to save every penny to comfort her. If they could have agreed about how to make themselves happy, and how to manage what little money they had, then they wouldn't have gotten into as many arguments.
