You can always do a go fund me.
Getting credit is easy. Borrow $1000 from a bank use the money to pay the loan.
Depressing. Gives me traumatic flashbacks to when I was in my 20s. I used to have to budget $20 for two weeks of groceries. Condensed soup was my savior.
Still relevant.
"Blessed is the man who perseveres under trial, because when he has stood the test, he will receive the crown of life that God has promised to those who love him."
OMG I have the exact same poster/ hang up that they have on 30:44

I just found this. Does anyone know if any follow up was done with these people? I so want to know if things have improved. But sadly, that's probably not the case.
Money is an illusion. There are enough resources on this Earth for EVERYONE…. The rich are all scrambling to get it all for themselves. They run the system. They run the governments and they run the world.
The rich put you down and do everything they can to keep you there, working as hard as you can to recover. They are profiting more from you when you’re desperate. So they keep you there. “It’s called the American Dream because you have to be asleep to believe it.”
The damn corporations and their monopolies are sucking every last dime from us. One example is my phone bill in the US is 179 a month, in Thailand I pay $7 dollars for unlimited data a month. In the US I had a cobra payment of $600, in Thailand I don’t need healthcare insurance. I had to go to a hospital in Chiangmai my bill was 900 Baht for ER, Doctor and meds. My total cost for my healthcare 2.5. Years in Thailand was under $200.

United States of America, land of the free, but only if you are wealthy enough to afford it, otherwise you are just enslaved on a less obvious way for the rest of your life.
I hope the next active shooter happens at a banks corporate office
The system works just fine actually… these people are bending over backwards to avoid being responsible for their decisions. Victim porn…

This may sound stupid so I apologies I'm advance but doesn't America have a social system to help with some sort of social benefits on people who are disabled, suffer with cancer and people who are carers etc.
Covid 19 has decimated the middle class. Basically finishing it off for good.

As difficult as life can be , we all need to stand together . This system is unjust , it needs to be torn down and replaced . There are people and parties who are committed to that end .
Would be interesting to see an update on all these families, especially how coronavirus has now affected them.
Hope they were able to get through the last several years since this was produced.
9:08–12:47
I don't know of any nurse who can't get a job. Especially with an MBA.
