Watching that episode made me realize the generation I live in has become entitled to way too many luxuries and it has greatly weakened our character and our ability to survive.

My boyfriend lost his job 2 years ago and it made our relationship stronger as we learned a lot about how to budget. I hope these people learn the same lessons and become greatful for the support of parents that many of our great grandparents did not have during the Great Depression. You would think that by now most women would have learned not to throw away their hard-earned independence and to support their loved ones through hard economic times but sadly that does not seem to be the case.

We appreciate the love. Don't forget to come back and stay up to date with the lives of New York's unemployed!
