Costs 

I will be so happy when I start to work again and meet a lot of co-workers. We will do a lot of overtime so our checks will look good. Then, I could go to the ATM to get cash to put in my pocket to go to the store. I love to go to the mall to shop and have money in the bank. I can’t wait for the day Street Sense becomes a side job. 

It’s so hard out here, the cost of living is so high. Rent went up, and the cost of food went up, too, and people need to have more money so they can live. What do they think people are supposed to do when the price of everything goes up? We need high-paying jobs in the community. The only thing I can do is pray to God that I will be fine. I’ve been thinking about leaving this city because the cost of living is so high.
