Thanks for this video of how bad it is out there especially in Oregon. They need to have more shows like this to help people find out what to do if they cannot find a job like me. I have a 5 year degree in Accounting and cannot find any kind of a job at all. I have no criminal record and do not do drugs or booze and no one will hire me at all. I am angry. MSI laid me and 199 others off and moved the call center after 32 years to a state paying workers $6.25 an hour. I hate it here.
4 hundred to 7 hundred a month for food? c'mon i spend 5 hundred a month to feed my one mouth. but i am an a-a-a-co wino. that tree in corner gathers a lot of dust . she must be a great homemaker. my heart goes out. next my heart leaves this country.
They can also make spaces in the rooms and put it out for rent. The son who was sitting there should consider working part time. They should do garage sales. If these dont work then i suggest the father to sell drugs and the mother to consider prostitution. Easy money, Im fulltime both.
come to my house i will show you hard times. eating chicken and rice for a month or so on end.appliances breaking with no money to fix or replace. shits tough. This stupid video made me really angry. Those people are living great. they went from like 200k a year to like 100k. Get the fuck out of here. THESE people make it on to cbs? like wtf
No shit, show the working class man who is trying to support his family. Show what happens when he gets laid off. That's some sad shit and all too common. I have many friends who are laid off, some have been out of work for a year now. I live in one of the shittiest states in the country. They would like to pack up and move, but can't even afford moving expenses.
I can clearly see this family is use to living big alot of waistful spending, They can do without a cable bill, That's the first thing that should go. The lady interviewing even said she needs to grocery shop more strategically. Waistful spending should be a thing of the past, People should even ride the bus more to save on gas money park and ride.
It used to 3 months, then like you said 6-9 months, but in this economy I would aim to save up an emergency fund that will cover you for 1 - 1.5 years.
I have a 52 week emergency fund and still save $400-$600/wk every week. I will never stop saving because I know there will be no retirement. Lost my pension and trust my 401k about as much as I trust Obama aka Barry Soetoro.
@RayAir1 yeah you had a REAL job with REAL money, I just worked in a coffee shop making nothing. And yeah we all got laid off after 6 months because they couldn't pay the rent.
I know it sucks out there. Over the last two years I've been laid off a total of 13 months. The government is lying. There is no recovery. None is coming either in my opinion.
I don't understand how american parents worry about paying for their kids college and then when they are old their kids put them in a home, I guess that was what the degree was for to put their parents in a home.
People need to save for their retirement and not their kids college, Retirement first then put extra to the college fund.

and the son in college should be paying his own way through student loans, grants and/or a part time job.

And chances are when he finishes college it will be years before he finds a job himself.

3:05 "a savings account with 6-9 months living expenses" yeah ok. Who with a family and a house has that? Useless advice.
